Every author out there knows showers and baths can be our greatest source of inspiration for new ideas or plot fixes. However, they don't always comply with the stories we want the idea or fix for. Why you ask? Simple. Because that would be too easy. The other day as I was trying to figure … Continue reading Plot Bunnies! Plot Bunnies Everywhere!
Camp NaNoWriMo
Ready Or Not, Here Comes Camp NaNo
Does anyone remember me mentioning several times throughout the last three months that my plan was to finish Fated to Darkness before the start of Camp NaNo so I could use Camp to write Clockwork Heart? Well, regarding those plans, Camp NaNo is only three days away from starting now and... Holy shit there's only three … Continue reading Ready Or Not, Here Comes Camp NaNo
No Rest For The Wicked
Er, weary. No rest for the weary. Yeah, that's what I meant. I think... Let me just say this as a forewarning, I'm a walking zombie as I write this so it could very well be all over the goddamn place and not make any sense at all. You could just be listening to me … Continue reading No Rest For The Wicked
Ending With A Bang
Camp NaNo July 2016 WINNER! That's right! This girl made goal on Sunday! With a week left to spare. It was a roller coaster of a month for writing. With so much going on and computer issues in the beginning leading to a late start to NaNo, but I pulled through and made the measly … Continue reading Ending With A Bang
Uncooperative
I've come to the conclusion that my posts this month hardly have anything to do with NaNo this month and it's irking the hell out of me. I miss my rants and excitement of Camp stories I have to share during these months. Sadly, this post isn't going to be much better, though. My characters are not cooperating. … Continue reading Uncooperative
Violent Cabins, Cliffhangers, and So Close Finish Lines
So apparently my cabin mates for Camp are quite violent with their characters. For the past few days, every time I log on to pop in and see what's new in the cabin, I find us talking about killing and fighting. I've got one cabin mate who's wondering if a certain injury is possible from … Continue reading Violent Cabins, Cliffhangers, and So Close Finish Lines
Hanging On
So my Plan of Action I talked about on Tuesday started out alright. I got through everything on my list for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. (Well, I missed one minor thing on Wednesday which wasn't a big deal.) And then Thursday hit. And Thursday just killed me. You see, before Thursday I hadn't slept more … Continue reading Hanging On
A Plan of Action, Nasty Creatures, and a Disgruntled Witch
So last Friday I had said I was basically in a slump and overwhelmed by everything I needed to do, suffocating and drowning under the weight of it all. My three days away that put me even further behind didn't help all that much. At least, it didn't until late Sunday night into Monday morning. … Continue reading A Plan of Action, Nasty Creatures, and a Disgruntled Witch
Suffocating
*Sigh* Things aren't going so well on the writing scale for me. Or any scale again. It's day eight into NaNo and I only have 4.2k written; and now I will be gone for three days. 4k below par. About to be 6k below par by Sunday night more than likely. 7k by Monday because … Continue reading Suffocating
Back With Plans!
I'm ba-aaack! I'm actually seriously back this time! I really do mean it now! The new hard drive came in on Saturday and we installed it, but due to work, the holiday, and my fear of using the computer in case something else went wrong, I have only now begun to use it. (Seriously, it … Continue reading Back With Plans!
