Na-No-WriMo
This is the first year in a while I’m not doing NaNoWriMo. Not planning, not thinking about, not even a tiny bit interested in attempting. While I did do some work on my story(ies)1 over the summer, it’s not in … Continue reading

NaNo 2008 Day 4: Getting caught up
Or trying as hard as I could. I now sit at a healthy 2589 words, which is still about 4000 short of where I need to be at the end of the day, but it’s 2300 words ahead of where … Continue reading
NaNo 2008: Fiction vs. Reality
My plan for the weekend was this: Get up at decent hour. Write 2000 words. Get act together and head to Steampunk party. Party like it’s 1899. Come home at decent hour on Sunday, and write another 2000 words so … Continue reading
It’s ON!
The short version: Me and NaNoWriMo this November? It’s ON! The slightly less short version: A few weeks ago, I was reading an article about The Diagram Prize, which is a prize given to the book with the oddest title … Continue reading
