Ok, it’s day 24 of NaNoWriMo and I have to admit it…I’m in a funk. Where my word count  should be at 39,985 with the rest of you. I’m stuck at 27,831 words. I know I can catch up but my mind seems to be stuck on personal  problems I’m having.  I can’t seem to […]

Now that the end of Nanowrimo is coming up, I’m sure there will be plenty of writers who will be jumping up and down with joy when they reach that elusive 50k goal. Some may even finish their novels. And if you’re one of them? Well, cheers to…

Well, day 20 of NaNoWriMo is here and I’ve surely gotten myself in a quandary. I’ve gotten no further than day 15 with my word count somewhere just above 27,000. Oh woe is me. All things considered, I suppose it’s not completely terrible. I’m only about 6,000 words behind. Just as reference for yourself, you […]

Here we are at Day 15 of NaNoWriMo, the halfway point. With a little help from pieces of my story I’m jumping around with, I was able to reach (and go beyond) my 5,000 word goal today. I did more than 7,000 words! So, now my word count is at 27,536. And, of course, the […]

Well, it’s obvious I skipped out on Day 13 of NaNoWriMo, but I’m here on Day 14 and feeling slightly better rested. I picked up my computer today and wrote 750 words, to bring my total word count to 20,538.  Of course if you’re on track with you’re word count you should be somewhere in […]

Well what do you know? Day Twelve of NaNoWriMo is almost over for plenty of us. My fingers are beginning to cramp and I’d hate to think what they’d feel like if I were using just a pen and paper! I wrote just over 1,000 words today. Not quite my goal so I’m only up […]

Well it’s now Day Eleven of NaNoWriMo and I surprised myself by actually hitting my goal and wrote 3,908 word today! That brings my total word count up to 18,782. With any luck I’ll be at 20,000 words tomorrow. Hooray!! 🙂  Now if everyone has been keeping track of their word counts you should be […]

Hi folks, it’s Day 10 of NaNoWriMo and I’m “slow poking” it along. I’ve only written 246 words today, bringing my total to 14,874 words. If you’re keeping track of your word count – you should be somewhere in the vicinity of 17,000 words, give or take, by the end of the day. This seems […]

I missed writing Day Nine of NaNoWriMo altogether. So I’m writing Day nine’s blog before I start my day of Day 10 so I can give you my thoughts of yesterday. How do we truly define “writer’s block” among us as writers? the classic point where we draw a blank while we’re writing and no […]

Hello everyone! Wow, day eight of NaNoWriMo and I’m really getting into the groove of things. Even though I only wrote 870 words today, putting me at 14,627 words total, I’m still ahead of schedule. If you’re counting your words…you should be at, or around, 13,600 words by the end of the day. If you’re […]
