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 16
41288 words. Wow. I can’t believe that I’m almost to the finish line, though now I realize this book is more likely a trilogy than a standalone novel. The second day of Winter Wheat sessions was also successful. I attended a session about rejection with Laura Maylene Walter. I’m inspired to attempt 250 submissions in …
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 …
NaNo–Day 10
I can’t believe it is Day 10 already! I made it to 33,063 words today. Lots of exciting things happening in my novel’s plot!
NaNo–Day 9
30,010 words. I haven’t written this many words in nine days since 2011. And this is the first NaNo where I’ve been ahead. Plus it looks like my novel is going to be more than 50,000 words.
NaNo–Day 8
Today was double-up day at NaNoWriMo, so I took my highest writing day of six thousand words and made the goal to do six thousand words today. I succeeded. Now with 25,382 words written, I should finish my novel on the 16th.
NaNo–Day 7
I had a lovely time at a local write-in. I wrote over four thousand words! And one of the characters I expected to die ended up surviving.
NaNo–Day 6
Yesterday I made it to 12,811 words, and today I am at 14,162 words. This is the first year that I have been ahead of schedule so early in the month!
NaNo–Day 4
Word count is 11,790 words. I even did a doodle that is related to my novel.
