Final Days and Final Chapters
This is it. In more ways than one. The final days of Camp NaNo are here. Only three days left to write to get the win. Now is the time to push hard and commit yourself to losing sleep if you still have a long way to go. (I'm not the only one who does … Continue reading Final Days and Final Chapters
Tea Party (Wednesday Words 4.26.17)
Welcome to a piece of Wednesday Word’s flash fiction on Darkling Dreams! A good friend of mine, P.T.

(Even if said flash fiction is complete … Continue reading Tea Party (Wednesday Words 4.26.17)
Five More Days
Five more days. There's just five more days left to the first Camp NaNoWriMo of 2017. Remember on Friday I had said I had a huge writing sprint of 8.2k words and had caught up to par and even surpassed it again, even finishing the chapter I was on? Remember that I was excited and … Continue reading Five More Days

Gaining Momentum

Yesterday the site officially announced that validating had begun, and to those who don't follow NaNoWriMo that means that there's no more changing your goal. It is set in stone now so if you're slacking, you better light a fire under your butt and … Continue reading Gaining Momentum

Could’ve, Should’ve…Didn’t
How do you write a blog post when you have absolutely nothing writing related to talk about? The answer is I don't know, but I guess I'll figure it out as I go because that's exactly what I'm doing right now. You would think that because I've had the last four straight days off work … Continue reading Could’ve, Should’ve…Didn’t

Falling in the Black
Camp is...sucking. And right now that's putting it lightly. So far nothing this month has really gone to plan, or even close to how I had hoped it would. The last several days are no exception to that trend. Exhaustion has been my constant companion since Tuesday's work shift. I have trudged through the last … Continue reading Falling in the Black
