Okay? Okay.
I finally sat down and read “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green and then saw the movie. I’ve owned the book since October 2012, but I’ve been distracted by other books to read and writing and art projects. But with the movie looming, I didn’t want to repeat my mistake of watching the …
Carrie by Stephen King
I know, I know. How can you be an avid reader and not read anything by Stephen King other than “On Writing”? Well, I have remedied that. I finished reading “Carrie.” It is the 17th book I’ve finished this year.
Allegiant
I’ve finished reading the series by Veronica Roth. If you’ve read The Hunger Games, I think you would also enjoy this series.
NaNo–Day 30
I have validated my novel. It is 50,002 words. My fifth NaNo is complete.
NaNo–Day 27
The end is near! I have less than 2,00 words to go, but I still have several scenes left to write before I reach the end. My word count is 48,197. Happy Thanksgiving!
NaNo–Day 25
I had a successful writing session at Seed Coworking today. I wrote over 4,000 words. My word count is 47,248. Maybe I shouldn’t have extended the third test because now I’m not even close to finishing the scenes I have left. Oh well. I will continue this novel until I reach “El Fin.”
NaNo–Day 23
Staying hydrated with water, raspberry hot chocolate, and Sprite. I’ve always loved the raspberry hot chocolate at Grounds for Thought, so I decided to buy raspberry syrup and try making them at home. Best. Idea. Ever. My word count is now 43,229.
NaNo–Day 22
My word count is 42,135. My characters have almost found the secret treasure. Maybe they will find it tomorrow. I had a great time at the midnight showing of “Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” And I even finished reading “Big Ray: A Novel” by Michael Kimball.
NaNo–Day 21
Sadly I only thought about my novel yesterday and didn’t write. I did have fun at the Write-In at Seed Coworking and boosted my word count. At the end of my writing session today, I have 40,921 words. It is strange to think that in less than 10,000 words, the first draft of this novel …
