You know NaNoWriMo’s over when you’re not sure of anything anymore, but people are handing you hot chocolate and telling you it’s going to be okay now that it’s December. I feel like WriMos should have their own campaign: It Gets Better (in December) As always, I’ve finished my 50,000 words, and as usual, I… Continue reading NaNoWriMo’s End
I am thankful that my laptop of eight years is STILL running, and its keyboard is only missing the “c” key. I am thankful that after one good 6,000 word day, I am only 5,000 words behind on NaNoWriMo. And I am thankful that I have a literary agency that has my best interest in… Continue reading Things a Writer is Thankful For

There is a fine art to figuring out just how much to neglect your real life during NaNoWriMo. I was painfully drudging through the… Continue reading The NaNoWriMo Blues
It’s really quite nice (amid all the hectic crazy insanity of trying to produce my first professional ebook) to just WRITE. It’s so hard to find time for writing when every other aspect of your life has been tethered to deadlines and due dates. That’s why NaNoWriMo is such a blessing. It makes you step… Continue reading NaNoWriMo
I ought to write this now, seeing as though tomorrow I’ll be busy with Halloween and the next thirty days I’ll be busy with NaNoWriMo (prepare for this blog to take a stark turn into the insane and literary in those dark, glorious days.) I’m happy to announce that the book I am currently… Continue reading The Young House
