NaNoWriMo – Day 5

Posted on by

I had really high hopes for the day, today. It’s Friday, of course, and I had no plans for the evening. That meant I had a great opportunity to write a HUGE amount on my NaNoNovel. Except, I had more plotting to do on it AND I had an interview with Kimi Alexandre for the next episode of Get Published. Interviews are always a problem for me. Not because I hate doing them, but because I LOVE talking to all the interesting people I get for the show. Kimi is no exception. She’s a writer, podcaster, blogger, voice actress and she’s got a cool new project call SpecFicDB (www.specficdb.com). She even has her own writing show so I knew it […]

NaNoWriMo – Day 4

Posted on by

Well, I actually did a 1000 words more than I reported yesterday. I’m not sure how I managed it, but I did. So, on to today. I managed about 300 words in the morning before work. Then I actually did some writing at lunch time. It won’t happen often, but it was nice to just sit and plunk away at the keyboard mid-day. I am certainly LOVING the story so far and some of the characters are really coming to life for me. I also had something cool happen. I wrote a scene that was really intended to do little more than transition the story and give a bit more insight into the characters themselves. Sounds kind of boring, right? […]

NaNoWriMo – Day 3

Posted on by

Today was a bit of a bust. I got up early only to realize that I needed to get into work early too so no writing in the morning. Then I ended up working late too and I had promised to help a friend with some WordPress issues so no writing when I got home. Then I went immediately to my Mandarin class so no writing until late in the evening. By late, I mean it was 10PM before I got started. Ah well. I still managed to finish the evening with just over 7,000 words but I have to say it was a pretty gruelling writing day. Good thing it’s a priority or it wouldn’t have gotten done at […]

Your Regularly Scheduled Program

Posted on by

As most of you know, I am participating in NaNoWriMo again this year. I’m also trying something a little different. I’m going to do a daily writing blog to talk about my writing schedule, what has worked and what hasn’t. The dailies won’t be as comprehensive as my normal weekly blog but I’m hoping that by doing so I’ll have a better understanding of my own writing and you might get a inside peek of how I do things. I’ve noticed in the last while that when I’ve got a big project going, I’m able to focus on it and really get the work done. My problem always seems to be that when the project is finished, I sit back […]
