I shall open with a small confession. I have an amazing husband. He not only works full time, but he enjoys spoiling me with expenditures that I would normally not afford myself. For instance, a year's worth of Master Class where I can listen to Neil Gaiman chat about storytelling is not something I would… Continue reading Week 4 – Camp Nano 2021

Week 3 – Camp Nano 2021
The joy of Pinterest, and the pitfalls! Whenever I've gotten stuck in the past few days regarding the WIP, I have flown to my Pinterest page where I have selected certain faces to help "cast" or represent the characters in the novel. This has been great fun. So much fun. Probably too much fun. I… Continue reading Week 3 – Camp Nano 2021
Week 2 – Camp Nano 2021
Well, I did say I normally hit a slump right around week two and I wasn't wrong. However, my Pinterest/Reading/Netflix plan did work! I took several hours off yesterday doing other things and in the evening I was able to get words on the page. This isn't to say that this process will work for… Continue reading Week 2 – Camp Nano 2021
Camp Nano 2021
Entering the world of Bright, where supernatural creatures live amongst us and steam engines rule! I hit my daily word goal before lunchtime, so I am feeling great. Though I do admit that whenever I do a National Novel Writing Month, the first week or so is always awesome. Midway through the second week, my… Continue reading Camp Nano 2021
2018 Camp Nano Wrap-Up
Hurray! We've reached the end of the month! For those who participated in Camp Nano, I hope you had fun. Even if you didn't reach your goals, writing is one of those perpetually rewarding efforts and, I daresay, an adventure all on its own. Whether you fought ogres or flew through space (or fought space… Continue reading 2018 Camp Nano Wrap-Up
Week 3 Camp Nano – July 2018
As I mentioned earlier, I'm doing two projects this year for Camp Nano. The editing project - The Soul Between Us - is nearly finished. I will likely have the completed third draft by Sunday afternoon. The first draft of Castle of Three Kings has taken a turn I did not expect. The outline has… Continue reading Week 3 Camp Nano – July 2018
Camp Nano Week 2 Progress Report – July 2018
My combined word count is sitting at 38,299 words, which is awesome. I'm nearing the end of the editing project and should have it completed by the end of next week. Which is exactly where I wanted to be. For the YA fantasy novel, I'm a chapter behind. Sort of. Which means that I deviated… Continue reading Camp Nano Week 2 Progress Report – July 2018
Camp NaNo – July 2018
Camp NaNo started yesterday and I'm already ahead of the game. To those of you who may be participating this year, I wish you luck! Put your headphones on, drown out the world, and create as only you can create. For those of you who may not know what Camp Nano is, let me go… Continue reading Camp NaNo – July 2018
Camp NaNoWriMo – July 2017
This year for Camp NaNoWriMo I chose to focus on revising/rewriting the ending of Dead Weight, the sequel to Tapped. I gave myself a modest goal of 30,000 words, which I surpassed. However, sitting 3 days away from the end of the July I can say that the first week of August will have to… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo – July 2017
Camp NaNoWriMo
April 1st signals the start of another Camp NaNoWriMo, which is one of those events I look forward to. If you've never heard of it, you can visit their page here. In short, they're kind of an offshoot of National Novel Writing Month, they just take certain months throughout the year to have another… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo
