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 …
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 …
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 …
9512–NaNo
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 …
