NaNoWriMo has begun yet again and I am just crazy enough to yet again write an entire novel in a month. I got off to a bit of a rocky start yesterday between having to switch points of view a chapter in and then having to drive back to school after being home for the [...]

Where did September go? Seriously, that month went so fast. Seems like the first day of school was just last week. But nope, it definitely wasn’t. Mid semester break is in a few weeks, which means that, hence its name, it will soon be the middle of the semester. Guess who hasn’t started her senior [...]

The Thursday Thirteen website seems to not be available today, but I am posting a Thursday Thirteen anyway. So, here are thirteen of my favorite websites. They are in no particular order and I have excluded my favorite blogs from the list.
1. J.K. Rowling’s Website. Not only is this the website of my favorite author, [...]

Someone on the Harry Potter Fan Fiction Forums posted the link to this site where you can create a design of words based on a document you’ve written. It’s called Wordle. Whatever word is used the most is the biggest in the design. The point of it was for those participating in NaNoWriMo to [...]

After spending a few days thinking about which part of my NaNo story to post, I just decided to post the first half of the first chapter. Since I’m thinking about getting it published, I don’t want to post the whole story. If the publishing doesn’t work out, I’ll post the whole thing.
So, [...]

Today, at approximately 4pm, I finished my NaNoWriMo story! Never in a million years did I think I would be able to write a 50k novel in a month, let alone in the first 17 days! My story topped off at 50,130, which is just over the minimum.
I am still debating about whether or [...]

All right, ‘Daily’ really isn’t the best way to describe my word counts as I am only posting them every few days, but I can’t think of anything better to call them.
As of Day 12, today, I feel like I am running out of steam for this. I am in no means out of plot [...]

All right, so my Daily Word Count has not really been ‘daily’, but oh well. I’m writing this just after midnight, so technically it should be Day 9, but seeing as I haven’t written anything for Day 9, I’m calling it Day 8.
The past few days have been very productive and have left me with [...]

Despite the fact that I had my eyes glued to the TV and Yahoo’s election map last night, I still managed to get over 2,000 words written. I wrote over 2,000 today, too. My novel is going wonderfully so far, although I am not sure how long this will last. Surely I am due for [...]

And the insanity continues. Today was quite productive. I am liking my story much more than I did over the weekend. My story is now 15,133 words, which makes it over 30% complete and it’s only Day 3.
