Woot! My NaNo project -- tentatively titled Residual Haunting -- is just shy of 25k, which means I'm halfway there. I think I might actually win this year. I deserve more chocolate. I'll admit that I keep having to shove my internal editor away. There are lots of things I'm going to have to change … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Week 2 Roundup

The End & Thoughts on Serializing Novels
Well, Persona is finished. Or at least a draft of Persona is finished. Here in the next couple of weeks I'll be searching for an appropriate editor to go through it, and then I'll edit and edit and ... edit some more. Until then, I'm in celebratory mode. I've got Nantucket Dark Chocolate cookies (from … Continue reading The End & Thoughts on Serializing Novels
Happy NaNoWriMo! (And stuff about juggling life)
I know I'm a day late here but I'll be honest ... I was actually working on my NaNoWriMo project last night so I didn't get around to the blog. For those who don't understand a word that I'm saying, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and it's where a whole slew of sleep-deprived, … Continue reading Happy NaNoWriMo!

I am Doctor Who
I'm finally on a bit of a break from school so I had the pleasure of writing a quick short story in the science fiction realm several days ago. Then when I was done with that story I pulled up my document for a Civil War based novel, prepared to delve into all things blue … Continue reading I am Doctor Who
Writing the Unpopular
Persona is almost finished. In fact, I've got approximately two chapters left to write. This is three chapters more than I had outlined, but something happened near the end that surprised me and, now that I look at it, really makes sense for the story. It's always fun when things work out this way. It means my … Continue reading Writing the Unpopular
Quests
So there I was trying to take a nap because I'm either coming down with something nasty or have finally developed allergies -- Hopefully I'm just getting sick. I really don't want to look forward to a seasonal allergy every year -- when I opened my eyes and saw something strange on my bookshelf. Do … Continue reading Quests
The End of Camp NaNoWriMo
Alright ... so ... it's after 9PM on the final night of Camp NaNoWriMo and I am quite exhausted. My end word count is 32,764. I was hoping to get to at least 40k before the end, but the stars just did not align. But that's fine! Because I knew when I started this that … Continue reading The End of Camp NaNoWriMo
Camp NaNoWriMo Week 4
Alright! So I'm sitting at 28043 words. After a small amount of calculation, I'm pretty sure I won't be winning this year. But, I did have finals for school and all of that earlier this month so I knew I probably wouldn't be. We'll see what my end count is a week from today, but … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo Week 4
End of Week 3
Is it really week 3? Well, I suppose the first week was only two or three days long, so I won't feel bad that I'm only sitting at 19762 words. And I really, really won't feel bad about that number since it is finals week and I have 1.5 projects left to do and a … Continue reading End of Week 3
Day 3 of Camp NaNoWriMo
Alright, so it'll get a little crowded up here if I post all of my word counts every day. I'll be putting that up over on the Camp NaNoWriMo page anyway, so there's no need to be redundant. However, I also want to spend most of my time trying to ... you know ... write … Continue reading Day 3 of Camp NaNoWriMo
