Poetry Project Update
I finished the third Nightwish album for my poetry project, and I’ve made progress with my love poetry project.
NaNo–Day 30
At 82,752 words, I am amazed at how much I wrote this month. This is the first year that I finished before the 27th (finished on the 21st). And I finally (FINALLY) validated my NaNo novel, so I officially won NaNo, even though my novel is not quite at the end yet. It has been …
NaNo–Day 26
On November 25, I made it to 74,063 words and on November 26, I made it to 78,934 words. After five days of not knowing how the novel ends, I had a breakthrough. So now the goal is to either make it to 100,000 words or to reach the end of the story.
NaNo–Day 24
71,099 words. This is the first NaNo that I have finished the 50,000 words so early (reached that milestone on the 21st). Now the goal is to reach the novel’s conclusion. In order to reach the 70,000 mark, I bought three drinks from Biggby (I had a coupon, okay?) as motivation. And it worked.
NaNo–Day 23
I enjoyed a local write in and was so inspired with my story that I wrote some more at home. 65,073 words.
NaNo–Day 22
57,877 words. I have introduced two new characters, and I’ve picked names for four more. This novel still has not reached a conclusion, but it has started a new and interesting arc.
NaNo–Day 21
I made it to 48,454 words on the 18th, and then I took the 19th and 20th off. I watched some vampire movies for inspiration since my characters encountered vampires. Now I have 52,518 words, but my novel is not complete yet. I did get my reward in the mail today for finishing NaNo–the first …
NaNo–Day 17
45955 words. My secondary character nearly died but survived. The new character conceived last week appeared. My characters are on a new journey that coincides with the previous journey.
Bookbinding Adventures
In preparation for my session at Winter Wheat, I finished some bookbinding projects I started. I made a noble stitch sidebound for a friend with the bird cover, attempted a new stitch pattern for the blue speckled cover, and sewed two more journals, one with the Coptic Stitch and the other with the French Link …
NaNo–Day 12
Since I made such progress in the first ten days of NaNo, I decided to take a rest day. Usually I take a day off here and there, and the time off gave me time to think about the upcoming events in the story. So, I’m now at 35,310 words. And my prize for finishing …
