NaNoWriMo is swiftly approaching
Posted: October 5, 2012 Filed under: Odds and Ends | Tags: ML, Nanowrimo, November, October Leave a commentAre you ready? I’m working on it, I’m trying to finish the first draft of Hunt and I’m working on my ideas for what I’ll work on next month, a new idea.
Also, since I’m the local ML, I’m scheduling events, both in October and November, in order to gear up and get all our WriMo’s through, and hopefully win!
Are you doing NaNo this year? Do you feel ready?
Camp NaNoWriMo, Day 26.
Posted: June 26, 2012 Filed under: Change, Fight, Hunt | Tags: camp, Change, editing, Fight, Nanowrimo Leave a commentWell, my train has officially been de-railed. A day of cleaning and packing, 2 days of travel and a day of recovery and I’m around 8,000 words behind. Could I work hard and catch up? Yes, I could do it. However, in today’s mail I received the copy-edits of Fight, and another for Change. Instead of working to catch up on my Camp NaNo project I’m going to work on getting my edits done.
Getting all the edits done will mean two things. Number one, I can publish Fight, get it out there for those I know are eager to see it. Number two is that I am hoping to get the paper editions ready to go to print. We all want paper copies, right?
So off I go, not to write but to input edits. But in the end it’s still progress. Psst.. How long will it take to do the edits on 2 books?
Camp Nano, Day 20
Posted: June 20, 2012 Filed under: Hunt | Tags: camp, family, Nanowrimo, writing Leave a commentI got a very late start tonight, and I had some difficulty in the beginning, but things are moving better now. I’ve managed to make the month to date goal but I’m pretty sure the day is going to roll over before I hit any other goals. That’s okay. I’m still happy with where I stand. Plus.. Sometimes seeing old friends and family is worth the delay.
Camp Nano, Day 19
Posted: June 19, 2012 Filed under: Hunt | Tags: camp, Nanowrimo, progress, writing 1 CommentToday was a great day. I knew where I was going this morning when I sat down and I managed 1500 words before I had to leave for an appointment. This evening I came back and managed another thousand words. I’m not just on schedule I’m a little bit ahead. I’m hoping it continues. Days like this are so much easier than the ones where you struggle for every word.
Camp Nano, Day 18
Posted: June 18, 2012 Filed under: Hunt | Tags: Armageddon, camp, Nanowrimo, writing Leave a commentI managed less than a thousand words today. Some days are just like that. On the upside, thanks to the extra I got done last night, I’m still on target for the month. I’m going to call it a night, and go lay down with my notebook, see if I can work out where things will go tomorrow.
Oh.. If anyone knows where I can buy a downloadable (not streaming) digital copy of the movie Armageddon (the one with Bruce Willis) I’d love to know. I really want to put it on my Fire for sound blocking while I work.
Camp Nano Days 16 and 17
Posted: June 17, 2012 Filed under: Hunt | Tags: camp, Kitsune, Nanowrimo, Twilight, writing Leave a commentSome days are easier than others. Last night I barely made the month to date goal and I was falling asleep at the keyboard. In an effort to avoid a Twilight, I gave in and went to bed.
Today things have gone better. I’ve gotten the daily goal, and my personal goal, and I’m still going strong. I’ll probably work as long as things continue to flow. If I can figure out where things are going from here I should be able to write for several days. Fingers Crossed.
Camp Nano, Day 15
Posted: June 15, 2012 Filed under: Hunt | Tags: camp, Goals, Kitsune, Nanowrimo, writing Leave a commentDoing good, I seem to be back in the flow. Managed just over 2200 words today, and that included four hours away at a birthday party! I’ve got some good things going and I can’t wait to get back to it in the morning!
Camp Nano, Day 14
Posted: June 14, 2012 Filed under: Hunt | Tags: camp, Nanowrimo, struggling, writing Leave a commentSluggish day. I managed just over 2k, including the carryover from midnight last night. On the plus side, I’m slightly ahead of the month to date goal. Not too bad for working on a short night’s sleep. I’m ready to crash. If I can get the puppy to share my bed.
Camp Nano, Day 13
Posted: June 14, 2012 Filed under: Hunt | Tags: camp, Nanowrimo, writing Leave a commentI had a busy day, and things weren’t flowing as well as I would have liked. I only managed about 1300 before day turned over and my word count started over again. I’m still hard at work and I have a bit to go before I crash for the night.
Camp NaNo, Day 12
Posted: June 12, 2012 Filed under: Hunt | Tags: camp, Kitsune, Nanowrimo, vacation Leave a commentMade some good progress today. I managed to not only do today’s words but enough extra that I’m all caught up! Now I can work on building back up my buffer so that a short day or a day where I’m too busy to make words doesn’t put me behind again.
