10K Day

10K Day

That’s what happens when you don’t write enough due to various THINGS but you’re determined to win NaNo. You have a ten-thousand-word day. And then, if you really want to win and you’re really behind, you write more. And then you do it for two more days. I still need 16k, and it’s nearly ten […]

Think of the Kittens

Y’all need to buy more books. No, you have to understand. I want to move into a larger place and foster kittens from the Humane Society, so y’all need to buy more books. See? Kittens! Just like these! Think of the kittens! You wouldn’t want a perfectly nice cat taking up with the wrong sort

Three Thousand and MEH

Three Thousand and MEH

Yesterday I wrote three thousand words. I don’t even remember what about. I felt like the story was moving at last. Today I worked and stayed late for site council and went out to fetch “fast” (it was not fast) Chinese food for dinner and came home and did homework, and now my story won’t

Thought I’d Lost It

Thought I'd Lost It

I’d thought I lost it. As I struggled with my words these past few days, I really started to think I’d lost it. That I’d run out of writing. You’d think I’d know better. I’ve written how many books now? I’ve actually lost track unless I stop to count on my fingers. I know I’ve

Things I Did Today

Things I did today: Grumbled a lot at my NaNo, but still wrote about 2k. Ate more caffeinated cookies than I probably should have. Looked at rearranging the TDP site in anticipation of Kit Campbell’s Shards being released. Took a Spanish test. (91%. Good enough, though I’d better stop screwing up before I lose my
