I kicked butt. Not in word count entirely, but in the quality of words produced yesterday. The step back to mull the story worked and though I didn’t make up my word count for the missed Monday, the words I wrote yesterday are good words, so I’m verra happy. Words yesterday–1855 (But more because I…

Un-NaNo-Took a Step Back
Oops, had another bust day. Was too busy with other things and then realized there’s a problem with the WIP. So, I sat back and used some brain time to work on story. Watched Dexter… Today, will be heavy makeup day! > Talked to my critique partner, Rachel Vincent, yesterday, and she’s keeping up the…
Un-NaNo Strong and Steady
Things went slow but steady yesterday. I wrote the first kiss scene and that just takes a little extra close attention and finesse. And darn those teens-we weren’t ready for that part yet. But you know how they are. 😉 Words yesterday 1974-seriously close to goal, so I’m cool. Kind of hoping for one of…
Un-NaNo Weak Weekend
(LOL! I was in such a hurry this morning, I mispelled my post title. <g>) Dropped the ball over the weekend. It was a busy one with a fun family gathering and an evening with one of my sisters. Not to mention catching up around here. So weekend total words were only 1377. I’ll be burrowing…
Un-NaNo Day 4-Crashed, Started fire…
Had to happen after three intense days with major word counts. Yep. I crashed. Woke up yesterday feeling ill and while, thank goodness, the illness didn’t linger, the off feeling did. Every word was a struggle and I ended up writing over 1k then cutting most of it. Scene was so boring, I fell asleep…
Un-NaNo Day 3
Still going strong. I burrowed in yesterday–even my daughter cooked and brought me lunch. (Oh, did I like that-thinking of making every month a NaNo. ) Wrote until my vision blurred so then I got up to clean my office. Turning into a piggy. But, I brought in a partial scene, made it sooo much…
Un-NaNo Day 2 & Important Things!
Okay, yesterday rocked. (In writing only!) Yes, some of these words were imports from the old manuscript, but I rewrote them to fit new plot, took out a character, added back in a different character, fleshed out new setting which will still need work in next draft. I didn’t want to stop the flow too much…
How Could I Forget?
This is in addition to my last post. My critique partner, Rachel Vincent, and I are doing a sort of team Unofficial NaNo. In other words, we’re holding each other accountable. There may be rewards. There may be taunting. <g> But, for sure, there will be support. We’re encouraging each other to set the highest…
Unofficial NaNo Update Day 1
Good day yesterday. Passed my word goal by 767. 2767 words total. And this was around driving around with errands, dealing with calls from kids, a BUNCH of family members, freaking LONG basketball tryouts and catching up half the laundry. Oh and fighting to figure out where I vote now that I moved and then…
Unofficial Work (And Fun!)
Why unofficial? I’m not technically signing up for the NaNoWriMo this month. I never have actually, but I had planned to this year because I want a roughdraft finished by the end of November. I should have finished this particular book some time ago, but had been struggling with it and two other projects.(Okay and let’s…
