24654–NaNo
I typed what I had handwritten at the Prairie Margins Write-In Friday and what I wrote in one of the sessions at Winter Wheat yesterday. So a total of 24,654 words for me. My sprained finger is doing better. I go to the doctor Tuesday for a check up. Wish me luck for typing faster …
Winter Wheat
I had a great weekend at the Mid-American Review Winter Wheat Festival of Writing. Yesterday I gave my session on prompts, which I will share in a post later this week. There were a lot of great sessions! Also fodder to discuss. The readers Kyle Minor, Ann Townsend and Seth Fried were great. Prairie Margins …
I sprained my finger…of course
Yesterday I sprained my left index finger. So I wrote on my phone’s notepad feature in the ER but I didn’t meet the word count. Good thing I hurt my left hand since I’m right-handed. Lucky too I’ve taught myself to type one-handed. Hopefully I can still finish NaNo.
20344–NaNo
Yesterday I reached 20344 words during the Prairie Margins write-in 6-7:15 p.m. And I discovered the original climax I thought of no longer applies. Oops! Good to know it isn’t going to work so I can work toward the proper one. Almost halfway there! Keep noveling.
17489–NaNo
I had a writing session tonight after my meetings. Since I worked on short sections tonight, I took mini breaks with writing emails in between. So I wrote on my computer from 10 to 11:45 p.m. I have a total of 17489 words. Doing well so far. This afternoon I started reading “Where She Went” …
15427–NaNo
Today I wrote 17 6×9 pages in my journal. I’m not sure of the time because I was in flow for most of it. Over two thousand words! By hand! A new record me, that’s for sure. Charlotte is now in San Diego and just got a job as a street artist’s assistant. I found …
12584–NaNo
I didn’t update my word count yesterday, but I was productive in the early hours of Sunday morning. I got caught up on my dishes and laundry and worked on my word count. I wrote by hand from 1:32-3 a.m., for a total of 10738 words. This morning I wrote from 6:45-7:26 a.m. on my computer …

Writing session: 9:30-10:22 a.m. 9512 total words to date. Listened to soundtrack Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Wrote at home on the computer. This morning was a painful scene, but Charlotte and I got through it. I had to sleep in this morning. It’s been a long and wonderful first week of …
7759 NaNo
7759 words total. Writing session: 8:55-10:18 a.m. At home on the computer with novel’s soundtrack. Made it through the first major event. Now she’s on a bus to San Diego from Cincinnati. Just to let you know I did not finish a short story in October (even though I brainstormed ideas for several), so my …
Do you listen to music?
When you write, do you listen to music? I’ve found that longer writing projects (like novels) have their own soundtracks morph together. Right now I’m listening to the following playlist for my NaNo novel consisting of: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and Part II by Alexandre Desplat, Lord of the Rings: The …
