NaNoWriMo and the Week Two Blues

It’s NaNo. Am I having fun? Well, some. As so often happens, the battle plan did not survive meeting with the enemy, though there was a good struggle. I got some more Srivasi, that I may or may not keep, and then I switched my focus to Flame, where I continue to stumble on because […]

NaNo Plotting (aka, Decisions? Where?)

If you’ve been around a bit (like, as long as having read my last post,) you know that I have some unfinished works lying around. Just a couple. One or two. Maybe seventeen. (It’s not seventeen.) (I hope.) So I’ve been dithering what to do about NaNo. And dithering helps no one. So though I

Switching Stories

So I do this sometimes in NaNo. I switch stories because I didn’t plan enough on the first one, or I’m not feeling it, or I’m just Way. Too. Stuck. It’s always a hard decision to make–am I really stuck, or am I giving in right before the muses were going to give me something

Walking in a Winter Onederland

Sometime after I made my Fitbit account, I joined an activity group for people who have a lot of weight to lose. In my group, we call being in the second century (100-199 pounds) “Onederland.” I’ve walked from the Shire to Rivendell, from Rivendell to Lothlorien, and now I’m drifting down the Anduin in a
