Camp NaNoWriMo April 2017 WINNER!!! That's right. I managed to pull off the win on the very last day of Camp. As predicted, after the long work week I had, I totally blew getting anything done on Saturday. So come Sunday I was up and writing from the moment I woke up to get that … Continue reading Declaring A Win And A Completion

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
Crazy Wonderland
So I'm not so much drowning and behind on a lot of things anymore. Well, sort of... Okay, that's mostly a lie. No, I lied again. It is a lie. I am caught up on blog hops finally, so there's that. My desk is at least semi organized yet for the most part. But, I, … Continue reading Crazy Wonderland
Back on Track Just in Time
Eight days left... It's getting closer and closer to the end of NaNo and that countdown has begun. I'm not panicking. Yet. I don't think I'm going to panic,actually.

I wish I knew what my secret was for this month … Continue reading New Goals, Planning Ahead, and Difficult Characters
Sick Days, Disobeying Characters, and Plot Detours
So day two and three of Camp NaNo were total busts for me. And I mean Complete. Busts. I came home from work Saturday evening feeling like death warmed over, again. Just as I had back in February, I was running a fever, achy, cold, shivering, my throat felt like it had a permanent lump … Continue reading Sick Days, Disobeying Characters, and Plot Detours
Arguing With The Characters In My Head
It's finally Friday. I feel like Tuesday should have been Friday for some reason. It's been a long week, let's just leave it at that. Wednesday didn't go too much better. I got nothing done on my first day off and ended up with a splitting headache for most of the day that just wouldn't … Continue reading Arguing With The Characters In My Head
Roleplaying: An Author’s Best Friend
I'm sure all you fellow authors out there know the nagging plot bunnies that bug you to figure out every character's backstory. There reasons for why they act the way they do and so much more. But sometimes, it's just not important enough at the time that you need to think about it. I mean, … Continue reading Roleplaying: An Author’s Best Friend
