Camp NaNoWriMo has come to a close for the year 2017, sadly. They always go by so quickly, each time making me realize I am way too close to the cold months, holiday madness, and the big November NaNoWriMo. (Which, as of right now, I have absolutely no idea what I'm working on during that … Continue reading Reflecting On A Chaotic Win

Progress Is Progress
Hello, world. Somehow I have once again managed to find my way to the surface to post. Truthfully, I had every intention of posting at the beginning of this month and keeping up with it this time. I even had all my Writer's Guide topics laid out for each week this month! That's a miracle! … Continue reading Progress Is Progress
Gearing Up For Camp NaNo
The Evil Day Job and writing don't always mix nicely, especially when you work in soul-sucking retail. Sometimes it seems impossible to be able to unplug from work and find time, or energy, to write once you make it home -- hopefully in one piece. And other times...it really is impossible. I am going to hate myself … Continue reading Gearing Up For Camp NaNo
Now What?
On Sunday I finished the first draft of Fated to Darkness and since then...I have felt like a lost puppy. I've sat on my desk chair spinning in a circle because I haven't known what to work on. I'm so used to working on FtD for so long now that it feels weird to not … Continue reading Now What?
Declaring A Win And A Completion
Camp NaNoWriMo April 2017 WINNER!!! That's right. I managed to pull off the win on the very last day of Camp.

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
We are officially in the home stretch of April's Camp NaNo madness. Only nine days left. 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
Sleepless Tangents And The 100 Word Trick
!DUE TO A LACK OF SLEEP, THIS BLOG POST HAS BEEN CANCELLED! Just kidding. No it hasn't. A friend dropped that line to my exhausted self when I had no idea how to start this post and I had to use it. For real though, I am running on less than two hours of sleep as I write this so … Continue reading Sleepless Tangents And The 100 Word Trick
Camp Creatures And Eureka! Moments
Happy Camp NaNoWriMo! The first plunge into madness for 2017 has finally begun! Hooray! I'll be honest, I'm quite a fan of the banners and icons they have for Camp this year. They even named some creatures to pertain to writing and novels. Like the infamous, abundant Plot Bunny pictured above on the banner. I'm not … Continue reading Camp Creatures And Eureka! Moments
