Day 8: NaNo Cumulative Count 16,233
I hadn’t specifically planned to write today, but I didn’t want to fall behind, so I logged slightly more than 2,000 words today to bring the cumulative total to 16,233. That is all.

Met today’s goal. I wrote what should be one of the more interesting scenes in the book today, but it still feels flat. I’ll keep pushing through. As they say, you can’t edit a blank page, and maybe some inspiration will settle in at some point. I’m not likely to … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 3: 12,151 words
Got the 2k plus a very few to spare for today. I’m at the usual place I find myself — thinking how droll this whole story is. It’s a romance with no romance. Serious problems. Blah, blah, blah. Usual stuff. Oh, well. Keep writing.

I guess that’s good enough for today. I’m working on Chapter 12.

I’m certain that’s more words than I’ve written all year. I’ve also burned through nine chapters, and, of course, they’re all too short except for one. If I had the chapters at full length, I’d have over 17,000 words by now. Wouldn’t that be nice? But, really, I’m quite pleased … Continue reading →
First Two Hours: 2118 NaNo words
I like to get a jump on the word count before heading for bed, and tonight I laid down 2,118 words. Time to turn in, and I’ll log some more tomorrow.

Here’s a rough working synopsis: Mallory Luoma wants to belong in her adopted small town. She volunteers to … Continue reading →
More NaNo Preparation
Sunday is rapidly approaching, and that means NaNoWriMo kicks off. I want to be ready to write. I have 31 scenes on Scrivener notecards. The plan is for those scenes to average about 1900 words each. Last night, I read through the printout while watching the Spurs lose in Chicago … Continue reading →
DeJuan Blair, 37th Pick, SA Spurs
I never heard of this guy before the NBA Draft last June, but from everything I’ve read about this young man, I think the Spurs done good. Look at this face. It’s kind of fun to see young men as they begin their NBA careers. Not the ones who believe … Continue reading →
NaNo Preparation
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is just around the corner. Are you ready? Have you remembered to renew your information from last year? What are you working on? This year, thanks to Valerie, I’m doing a category romance. I haven’t done as much preparation as I’d hoped, but I have … Continue reading →
