The past two weeks have been just that: an inexplicable whirlwind. A strange combination of me being far too busy and alternately bored, but mostly filled with a desire to get things done that’s really pushing me to actually do just that. For a change!
Firstly, NaNoWriMo was a success. It was fun, it was painful, [...]

A whirlwind of… what, exactly?

My NaNo novel is an unwieldy beast. And by that I mean it’s going well but its plot can easily go in four directions and I’m conflicted but only really conflicted because I am sort of getting to the point of procrastination. I KNOW, it’s day 14, I can’t afford that. But even so. I’m [...]
NaNoWriMo Conflict
Posted in to do, writing, tagged nanowrimo, novels, writing on Friday 31 October 2008 | 1 Comment »
National Novel Writing Month starts tomorrow and I’m eager for it but I keep going back and forth between the projects I want to work on for it. Neither are technically begun, which is their precise appeal for NaNoWriMo, but I’m so conflicted I might end up writing half and half, which will just be [...]
NaNoWriMo is almost upon us…

I’m absolutely definitely going to full-steam-ahead participate in NaNoWriMo 2008. I have the workings of a new project poking and bouncing around my brain and I refuse to write them down, only dream about them further, until November. (I don’t want to cheat by outlining or going to town on things yet; it’ll ruin the [...]
Eggnog in Coffee = Amazing
Posted in motivation / productivity, writing, tagged eggnog, microsoft onenote, nanowrimo, outlining on Tuesday 11 December 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s a rather simple idea yet also a momentous one. I put eggnog in my coffee (along with some skim milk and Splenda) and it’s marvelous. That touch of eggnog flavor just screams “holiday season” with every sip. Marvelous, I tell you!
I wrote a little yesterday. I also started outlining (for real, on paper) one [...]
The internets.

Sometimes I forget how savvy I am with teh internets (haha) compared to a lot of people. I’m NOT an expert — LET ME REPEAT, NOT AN EXPERT — but I sure know a hell of a lot of things. Like HTML. Like what PHP is, like what a MySQL database is… how to edit [...]
It’s almost December

It actually feels cold, too. We finally got our scarves/hats/gloves from Bryan’s folks’ attic this week when we were there — at last! — and our air conditioner (or rather its hole) has been leaking warm apartment air outside (or leaking cold wintry air inside) so having the hats to wear around the apartment have [...]
NaNoWriMo + library books…
Posted in drink, reading, tagged arbor mist, nanowrimo, reading on Thursday 15 November 2007 | Leave a Comment »
… have taken over my life. Since November 1st I’ve read 7 books and written over 8,000 words.
That’s not counting all the work I’ve been doing in my main novel. That word count refers to new stuff started specifically for NaNoWriMo.
Hence the lack of posting.
Also, Arbor Mist is delicious. Delicious! And cheap. Mostly cheap. It’s [...]
