44,412. I’m so tired I’m seeing double. I’m supposed to be at 45K by tonight, but 600 off is going to have to do. The good news is that I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Two tunnels, if you insist. First, Friday is the last day of NaNo; 50K here [...]

37,830. Sigh. This four day weekend was not the writing adventure I had expected it to be.

So after dinner, I had [...]

Creeping along. Creeping. Creeping. Creeping along. Yesterday I was so full energy about my story really taking shape. Now I just want to stab the next person who says NaNo. Well. Not really.

In fact, since I plan on doing some more later on tonight, I will probably be almost two days ahead of schedule. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I need to make certain that I [...]

It’s only fair that I post the same excerpt here that I posted on NaNo: “You ok?” he said. “Just really, really tired.” She stifled a yawn. “I don’t know about you, but the painkillers didn’t do much. I just want to lie down and hope I don’t ache this badly in the morning.” “Can [...]

Let the Marathon begin! I have fallen so behind with NaNo. I think I’m somewhere around 8800 words. The fact that I can only “think” what my word count is should tell you something. The trip to Atlanta was wonderful, but I just didn’t get the writing in that I had expected to. Also had [...]

4699. After three days of NaNo, I’ve fallen behind by about 400 words. I don’t feel too badly about that seeing how I worked a twelve hour shift yesterday which was the cause for the delay. I am heading for Atlanta later today and between the time at the airport and being cooped up in [...]
