Yesterday, I hit my personal goal of writing 75K words in 20 days. I did it in 18 since I took last weekend off. Going into this self-challenge, I wasn’t sure I could. Yesterday, I learned I could and a lot more. Here are some of my thoughts. Read More…

I won NaNoWriMo, and this year I finished early. I finished with 50,059 words. I’m only at the mid-point of my novel, however. I have another 50K word goal. I’ll take a few days to a week off first. Read More…

I’ve crossed the 40K word mark today. I should finish NaNoWriMo 2020 around Wednesday. I’ll also be halfway through the story. This year feels strange because I’ve planned a 100K novel instead of the NaNoWriMo 50K. I feel I should finish my novel instead of only being halfway done. Read More…

Stress and Writing
11/06/20 10:06
It’s been a stressful year. It’s been a stressful week. One way I deal with stress is to get into my rut. This allows me to do what is comfortable and known. Writing is one such thing which. Despite the turmoil in the world, the country, and election, writing allows me to escape into my story and regain calm. I’ve been writing. Read More…
Getting Ready

I had hoped to finish editing my noir this week, but life gets in the way as it often does. I have at least two more passes to do before I can call the novel done. So much for the plans of mice.
