NaNo–Day 4
I did not make a lot of progress yesterday, but I made up for it. I am pleased with the 7828 words I have so far. And 3314 of them occurred this morning.
NaNo–Day 2
Day two is over. In two different writing sessions and a brainstorming session in between sessions, I was able to make it to 4063 words. Novel number four is looking pretty good.
NaNo–Day 1
The first day of NaNo went well! I wrote 1824 words, going above and beyond the goal of 1667 for the first day. I had my last lunch (it wasn’t Ramen) before NaNo started. I couldn’t recall the last time I ate soup that wasn’t Ramen or wasn’t made by myself.
NaNoWriMo 2012 Preparations
It’s almost November! This year will be my fourth NaNo. To prepare for the challenge, I bought a new journal from Under the Mango Tree while I was at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. And it will be my NaNo 2012 notebook. Already I’ve made lists of potential places to visit in my time-traveling novel, like Charlotte Corday’s death, …
One Year Anniversary!
Well, folks, it’s been one year since I started this blog. Check out the first post here. In that year I’ve graduated from college and changed apartments. I completed NaNoWriMo for the third year in a row, this time with a sprained finger. I finished the second draft of my novel, and I’m working …
The Search for Ink and Stories
Earlier this week I finished my first short story for December. So now I’m in the lead. 1-0. The short story I finished was based on “The Young Man with the Carnation” by Isak Dinesen in “The Winter’s Tales.” Check it out if you haven’t read the collection already. Last night I made a list …
50119–NaNo
So NaNo is over for this year. At least until I start editing in December after a long nap, deep-cleaning my living quarters, and receiving my treat for finishing a novel in a month with a sprained finger–dinner at Naslada, one of my favorite restaurants in town. I brainstormed on Monday and put those lines …
45038–NaNo
Yesterday I had a total of 42,314 words, and today after my writing session I have 45,038. So close to the legendary 50,000! I am pleased though that I was able to catch up. Spraining your finger during NaNo is not something I’d recommend, but at least NaNo 2011 will be a NaNo to remember. I have …
40140–NaNo
Last night after work I continued my NaNo novel. I reached 31,036 before I called it quits and went to bed. After sleeping, I got up and wrote for four and a half hours straight (with breaks of course) and I ate traditional Thanksgiving fare. I am very thrilled to be ahead of the projected 40,008 …
28903–NaNo
Well, I have made an improvement in my word count today. I wrote before class, at the write-in at the Union, and at the unofficial Prairie Margins write-in. And I used Dr. Wicked Write or Die (http://writeordie.com/) to write an additional 2,000 words. And I wrote two poems on top of that. Today was just …
