That’s 3,613 words today. It took me far too long to amass that total. I just finished, and I started at around nine this morning. I’m not efficient enough. I have been doing some extensive researching and realized at least one option I thought I had is probably a bridge … Continue reading →
According to where I need to be at this point, I’m running about 3,000 words behind. If I have a good writing weekend, I’ll catch up. But 1807 words in a day is nothing to sneeze at, so I’m happy.
Continue reading →That’s 1696 for today. All written at Panera with my other local NaNoWriMoer typing away across the coffee table from me. She’s ahead of me by about 1500 words I think. This is her second NaNo, and she topped out at around 12,000 words last year, so I’m proud of … Continue reading →
Before I litanize the word count, Nienke’s raised some interesting questions. NaNoWriMo is about writing a 50,000 word novel. In theory, that should be a work of fiction.

Only 421 really bad words tonight. I feel achy and tired. I’m going to knock off and shift to the laptop. I make no promises about getting anything more written, though.

Writing regularly. Finding my way. Given some of the headlines, it shouldn’t come as too large a surprise that one of the themes … Continue reading →
A comfortable 3242 words today. And an odd, odd development. You knew about Sakura I mentioned the cherry trees Today, Rotikkans showed up. A creature I dreamed about this morning just before waking up. As mentioned in the last post, it’s an alligator-like creature that slithers on its back. It … Continue reading →
I have a new creature, and I don’t know what to call it. It’s an alligator able to slither on it’s back. It’s able to use its arms and legs to carry things as it travels. Any ideas?
Continue reading →I purchased Mindjet MindManager after a couple weeks on the trial download. I’ve been using it for several things — whether mapping my ever-expanding job at work (I have version 5 on my desk at work, and that was my first exposure to it) or laying out my NaNo “novel” … Continue reading →
A little slower day. I’m going to get some sleep and come back at it tomorrow. More drivel. Of course. It’s NaNo. What else would I be writing?
