NaNo–Day 4
Today I had an interesting writing session as I worked on my novel. I stopped to research names, I listened to Finlandia by Jean Sibelius, and I discovered that my characters have four tests to pass on their adventure. My word count is now 7951.
NaNo–Day 3
At the BG Kick Off party, I discovered from a fellow participant that one of the forum threads on the NaNo website is called Dares. So I included in my word count today a dare about mentioning the game and a second dare to introduce a sacred heart quest. I am thrilled for the prompts …
NaNo–Day 2
With 300 words to go to hit the day’s goal, I sat at my computer until I wrote those 300 words. My word count is at 3384, so I am on target for finishing on time. Today I didn’t have to refill my pen. I had a great time at the Kick Off Party in …
NaNo–Day 1
My fifth NaNo is off to a good start. I wrote 1730 words today and made it to the 1667 goal.

I graduated from college, went to Chicago and New Orleans for conferences, worked as an editorial intern at Dzanc Books, won my 4th NaNoWriMo, earned 2nd place for my pumpkin bread, attended my first Nightwish concert, and so much more. I hope 2012 was a good year for you, but I hope 2013 is even …
NaNo 2012
This year, my NaNo was a success. Without a novel on board, I have caught up on some chores. Looking back over the month, there were several days my word count was zero, but the most words I wrote in one day was 5275. This was the first NaNo where I finished two days early …
NaNo–Day 28
Today is a record. I have not finished NaNo prior to November 30, so to finish on November 28 with 50,396 words is pretty awesome. To sleeping for a full eight hours and writing more poetry, I welcome December.
