I've got maybe 600 words to go before I reach my goal of 7K! If I'm motivated to write, I'll probably finish today.... UPDATE: I did it! Seven thousand and seventeen words! But the story isn't over yet, and neither is the month of November.... I'm not stopping yet. I'll be back!

NaNoWriMo’14 Day 10 – Double Post
Mwahahahaha! It was apparently Double Up Day in NaNoWriMo proper on Saturday, where NaNo-ers were encouraged to double their word goals, which I think is insane. But instead, today, I shall post doubly on the occasion of NaNoWriMo. If my principal were Principal Strickland from a certain 1980s movie I would recommend content-filtering before watching, … Continue reading NaNoWriMo’14 Day 10 – Double Post
NaNoWriMo’14 Day 10
We're one third of the way through the month of November, and already, I've written about 5/7K words. I could theoretically write those last two thousand words today in a few sittings ... but I doubt I will. I am barely finished with Chapter Two in my 5K novel. Yes, judging by the length of … Continue reading NaNoWriMo’14 Day 10
NaNoWriMo’14 Day 9 – Prewriting
It's so convenient to look at today's date and immediately know how many days into NaNoWriMo you are so you can title your post properly (and vice-versa). Yesterday, I took a Day of Rest from writing my novel. I relaxed, read Pride and Prejudice (the romantic element is horribly dull, but the historical element is … Continue reading NaNoWriMo’14 Day 9 – Prewriting
NaNoWriMo Day 7 – A Peek into What I’ve Been Writing
It's November 7th, which means we're seven days into NaNoWriMo's festivities. I'm now having such a good time, and I've been writing literally "like the Dickens," in the sense that it's been exceptionally wordy. 😀 Here's a small peek at what I wrote today: "Welcome, boys," the principal intoned in a gravelly voice that sounded … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 7 – A Peek into What I’ve Been Writing
NaNoWriMo’14 Day 5
The best thing that could happen to this poor NaNoWriter happened to me this morning: I had an idea for a new story, a better story than the one I've been plugging away at, doing 200 words tops a day, for NaNoWriMo. So I whipped out my mobile device and began tapping away like a … Continue reading NaNoWriMo’14 Day 5
NaNoWriMo’14 Day 4
I'll start off by saying I've been very mutinous. I have considered quitting NaNoWriMo 2014 as of Day 2. Sacrilege, right? But don't worry, I'm still here. Well, I decided on writing that story I mentioned in my previous post on NaNoWriMo, the one that's really quite underdeveloped. On a good year, I'll have planned … Continue reading NaNoWriMo’14 Day 4
