NaNo Day 6: 12,445
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.

Rattling around clicking out words. Nothing new on characters or plot today, but theme exploration is coming nicely — remember, this year’s NaNo is all about regularity. 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 →
NaNo Day 4: 9320
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 →
New Creature
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?

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 →

Tagging…
Steve (or, more formally, S. William) has tagged me to enlighten you about five unique or interesting things about myself. Yeah. It’s ok to pick on the contest winner — even if she’s NaNoing. So, watch this space for unique or interesting things about moi. (But it’s ok to breathe … Continue reading →
NaNo, Day 1: 2837
Thank you to everyone for their good wishes. I have no idea where this is going. So far, I have to characterize it as stream of consciousness. If you want to see a brief excerpt of just how scary that is, here you go: Heaven forbid someone should point out … Continue reading →
Kicking Off NaNoWriMo
I’m dragging, but NaNoWriMo kicks off at midnight, and I want to nail a couple words before turning in for the night. I feel as if I get a positive head start that way. Besides, the second game of the NBA double-header is still going on. Not that I cared … Continue reading →
