Nanowrimo is drawing to a close and I’ve got about 3k left to go. Not too much to worry about, especially with a relatively empty night before me. However, it is a bit daunting to see so many of my nano buddies crossing the line now…of course I would like to blame getting sick TWICE…
First of all, I feel that I should comment on NaNoWriMo thus far. Currently I am a couple thousand words ahead and expect to finish with some time to spare. Getting sick for a weak though put me a little behind, but don’t fear, I shall prevail! =) With that, moving on. In said novel…
Hey kids, guess what…only one more week before NaNoWriMo ’09 begins! Now I’m not exactly the most…level person when it comes to NaNoWriMo. In fact, I unsympathetically joined the ranks of the rebels long ago when I first started participating in NaNoWriMo in 2007. The rules stipulate something about starting a story from scratch or…
So it’s no secret that I have crazy, wild, and totally inappropriate dreams. These dreams in themselves are amazing story fodder: I know, when I was in fifth grade I wrote a compilation of all the interesting dreams I had up until that time. I even had sex dreams starting back when I was eleven…
Since being back at school, I’ve had to take extreme measures to make sure I’m still writing. Well, not completely extreme, but you must get what I mean. I’m trying at the very least to chug through at least one page a day on Nagnomei, and two on CROSS// (or however much I can do…
Chances are you are reading this from any of three current sources, for now “Musings of a Procrastinating Author” is being broadcasted to three different channels. Two are WordPress related and one is a Livejournal account. I will provide all three links below…if you have an LJ account you can friend the LJ blog and…
It’s no secret about me that I’m not interested in ever having human babies. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t have my “babies”. All my cats aside, my novels are pretty much the closest things to babies I will ever have. Following this metaphor, Nagnomei is now eight years old. It’s a stellar oldest…
“Why?” is a great question, whether you are living or writing. When we are living, “why” means “Why am I here? Why did I eat that? Why is that creepy guy starting at me?” “Why” is very existential. “Why” means something is happening to us. We don’t have to take responsibility for it. “Why” is…
So. It’s Nano. It’s here. Only three days in…and I have a piddly 4000 words. I say “piddly” because, although technically ahead (I have yet to do my writing for today) I don’t FEEL ahead. I don’t know what I expected. 10,000 words by the end of this time period? Ha! I have the power…
Oh, early October. Almost my birthday and almost time for NaNoWriMo. Sadly, I have not had much time to put thought into NaNo this year. Luckily for me I’m a “cheater” and just work on the same story from the year before…at this point I don’t have time to focus on yet ANOTHER new story/series,…
