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.
NaNo–Day 3
What a way to start the day, with 3,000 words in the morning and 3,000 more at night! Current word count: 10,459. Awesome!
NaNo–Day 2
4443 words down. I had a great time at the local write-in and drank two glasses of lemonade. The scenes that came yesterday? Worked on them. Looking forward to further developing the rules of this novel’s world tomorrow.
NaNo–Day 1
National Novel Writing Month is finally here! Got off to a great start this morning with 3,440 words. Two scenes I didn’t expect came to mind while working on the beginning, so I’m looking forward to tackling those tomorrow.

Novel a Month
NaNo is approaching. I’ve started reading “Sense and Sensibility” in preparation for NaNo this year. I have five other novels that are in various stages of completion. So for the month of August, I will focus on one novel and see how far I get with revisions and rewrites. Then at the end of the …
Lydia Netzer
It was wonderful to meet Lydia Netzer, a BGSU alumna, at the Toledo library. She said that publishing a novel is like handing the writer a box of matches–the writer can only fight so many edits. So save them for the important stuff. She works on five or six novels at a time, writing until …
Shades of Milk and Honey
I enjoyed this book very much because it combined Jane Austen novels with magic. And since my novel for NaNo this year is also set in the Victorian era, I will have to reread Jane Austen’s work. My Favorite Quotes: It is not the knowledge of glamour which I guard; it is the art created …
