If you’re a writer of any kind, I’m sure at one point or another you’ve likely heard of — and maybe participated in — the non-profit organization NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) that hosts an annual 50,000 word novel writing challenge every November. NaNoWriMo also used to host two Camp sessions in April and July … Continue reading NaNoNoMore

What is Camp NaNoWriMo?
Goodbye, March. Hello, April and insanity! For those that already know what Camp NaNoWriMo is, welcome to another month of the madness. For those that don't know or are new to the world that is NaNoWriMo I'm going to give you a crash course. I know I've talked briefly about Camp NaNoWriMo and NaNoWriMo before on this blog, but … Continue reading What is Camp NaNoWriMo?
Win Like A Warrior
Well, I did it. 30 days, 50,157 words after validating (50,177 words according to my Word doc), 118 pages, and 8 chapters. My first big November win is in the bag. I thought I wasn't going to make it a few times, thought of giving up a few times too. I prevailed and pushed through … Continue reading Win Like A Warrior
Final Days
Two days... Just two days left to NaNoWriMo. At this moment, I need 7,790 words in this two days to validate. It's doable, definitely doable with me. However, I have two work shifts during that time, neither of which are very kind to the productivity scale. I only managed about 1.1k on Monday because of work … Continue reading Final Days
Stressing For A Win
Sooo... I may or may not be rather far behind on NaNo again... Alright, there's no maybe about it. I am. *Sigh* I was supposed to write Tuesday night after I finished my blog post, and, well, yeah. I got sidetracked and I was tired already. I don't think I actually got any words down … Continue reading Stressing For A Win
The Final Stretch
We're in the final stretch of NaNoWriMo now. Just a week left. (I'm not counting today because it's nearly over now.) Are you panicking yet? I'm not, surprisingly. Not really at least. I am a little bit because I work the rest of this week -- yes, including Thanksgiving, retail sucks -- and I don't know … Continue reading The Final Stretch
Finding My Way
I am really sucking at writing on the days I work this month. I think there's been a total of maybe four days I worked that I also managed to write. You know the sad part to that? They were during the first week of NaNo when I was so exhausted off my ass that … Continue reading Finding My Way
Funks, Sprints, and Revelations
Before I even dive into my ramblings, I'm going to start with this... I know, I know. I missed Friday's blog post. Shame on me. *Slaps hand* I have a reason for it. While I may not be able to say it's a particularly valid reason, I do have a reason. To anyone who read … Continue reading Funks, Sprints, and Revelations
Barely Surviving
I've survived the first week of NaNo! Sort of. I'm just barely hanging onto par, but I'm hanging on. Well, actually, because of today's inconvenient time frame that was work, I'm going to fall below par in roughly an twenty minutes. But I'm sort of holding on for now. I was off Sunday and Monday … Continue reading Barely Surviving
Struggling Already
Well that plan I had to stay on track for NaNoWriMo during work days hasn't worked out. Wait... Did I even mention said plan in Tuesday's post? Or am I just thinking I did when in reality I really said it to a friend yesterday and I just can't remember which one I really did? (I … Continue reading Struggling Already
