NaNo 2017 – Day 25 – Book Signing Day

Posted on November 26, 2017 by Michell

Day 25 was a day spent at a local Christmas Fair. I sold quite a few books too, which was awesome. Then we went to a movie (saw Thor again). I knew I was going to be going late so I managed to get my writing done between the Christmas Fair, errands and the movie. I’m very glad I did it then too because it was late when we got home and the only thing I wanted to do was go to bed. Number of Words for the Day: 2,103 words How I Hit my Word Total for the Day One long writing session. from 5 – 6 PM Today’s Goal: 2,000 words The Grey Cup final is tonight. I’m […]

NaNo 2017 – Day 24 – Late Night Writing

Posted on November 25, 2017 by Michell

Lots of back-to-back events yesterday starting with work. Then I drove about an hour to do a book signing/Fall Fair and then an hour back home. By the time I got home it was 9:30 PM and I still hadn’t done any writing. I briefly considered calling it a dead day. Briefly. Then I stopped whining to myself about being tired and sat down at my computer. I powered through, but it was hard going. I’m at the point in the story where I really don’t have much idea what’s coming next (much like the past two weeks). The difference now is, I’m at the major conflict and, while I know how I want it to play out, I don’t […]

NaNo 2017 – Day 23 – The Train Keeps Chugging Along

Posted on November 24, 2017 by Michell

The thing about goals is, once you achieve them it’s so easy to back off and stop. At least, for me it is. That being the case, I was a bit concerned I would stop my progress once I hit 50,000 words. And yes, I do appreciate how odd it is that I’m worried about how I am going to go forward. I don’t have a split personality. Not exactly, but I definitely have my author persona (which I bring out when I’m doing training or book signings as an example) and I have my, let’s just lay around and watch television persona. Granted, the later one rarely makes an appearance anymore. The one that does show up is the […]

NaNo 2017 – Day 22 – 50,000 in 22 Days

Posted on November 23, 2017 by Michell

I did it. There were times last night when I wasn’t sure it would happen. The first of those was when I didn’t actually start my final push until 9:45 PM. I still needed 1,500 words at that point so I knew that no matter how fast I typed, I was going into overtime. At 50,007, I decided I could call it a day. That was around 10:30, I believe. I still wrote fast, but due to the delayed start I was later finishing than I like (for full disclosure, I don’t ever sleep well and I get up at 5:30 AM so I need to go to bed relatively early). Still, it was worth it. Challenges for the Day […]
