I somehow found myself with no opportunity this past weekend to write. (Except for a half hour window that I spent checking my email for the only time during the weekend) I was very frustrated because I have lots of ideas that I want to get down. Hopefully, I can manage to write extra today [...]

My Unofficial National Novel Writing Month
Posted in My Novel, My Writing, NaNoWriMo, tagged NaNoWriMo, novel, writing on November 5, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I participated in NoWriMo last year and came nowhere near to finishing, particularly because I changed my mind about a lot of things mid-way. I REALLY had to go back and edit. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have finished anyway, because I’m pretty slow and perfectionist about just about everything I do. I’m just glad [...]

After another sleepless night, I have decided that if I want to tell the complete story of my world I must write five individual stories. The book I am currently working on will have two prequels and two sequels. I guess I have plenty of material for the next four years of NaNoWriMo. Also, my [...]

Last night, I tossed and turned for over two hours trying not to plan the fate of my fantasy world… with little success, as evidenced by the page full of notes that I scribbled today instead of writing. While attempting to stop thinking of the timeline, I devised a rudimentary basis for the language of [...]

Things aren’t looking very favorable for me to finish my 50,000 words for the month. I know it’s still the first week of the contest, but I’ve only been able to find time to write two out of the past four days. My little one has been refusing to take a nap pretty often lately. [...]

My friend, Father Spike, told me (or rather, tweeted me) about National Novel Writing Month. Participants try to write a 50,000 word novel in one month, November 1-30. I decided to try it, though I don’t expect to be able to reach the goal with a toddler to chase around. I figure that I can, [...]
