Quick post because I’m taking off for the weekend. Having lunch with friends, dinner with friends and Monday, I’m spending the day with my Dad and my daughter. So… I will be trying to squeeze words in as much as possible. Probably Saturday night and Friday morning. But I made my goal today. Yay! Also…

Un-NaNo-It’s Friday. Show Me Love
Yes, another insidious Friday has crept into my life. Most are so happy on this day, thanking various deities and getting ready for two days of debauchery or maybe, just some sleep. Writers on submission still have these feelings, but they are slightly damp… or in some cases, they’re soaked and dripping all over the…
Un-NaNo- Good Step Back & Honest Admission
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…
