I’m a few hundred words short for a “good” NaNo day, but I made good progress today.  It’s certainly better than some earlier days. For the moment, the working title has absolutely nothing to do with where this story is at.  I’ll worry about that later.  I have to get … Continue reading →

Crap. Crap. Crap. That’s what this year’s NaNo novel is so far this year. Despite that, I keep plugging along, hoping some inspiration for this novel will strike and something salvageable will emerge. I’ve had a lousy two years on the writing front, and I hope I’ll turn that around … Continue reading →
