I managed to write today, although it was my first taste of getting home at 10PM. Yes, unfortunately, the Doubles Experiment is going to have to wait; the busy season has already reared its ugly head at work, and my schedule is already suffering. I only got to write for maybe 15 minutes on the job... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 18: The Problem with Indulgence
I had a strange moment earlier, when I felt a spot of charming dialogue coming on . . . and I narrowed my eyes. The clouds had parted and, after a few hours of work, I actually got a moment to sit down with my notebook and work out a scene. I got a few hundred words in, when Sydney... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 17: Writing a Kid
I wound up just sticking to one writing session for today, because that session was a pain in the ass. For reasons that I now totally understand: Yesterday, I got to write the intense nightmare Sydney Tempest was having. Today, I had to write Modis being super positive. But it wasn't so much the positivity that made today... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 16: So Tired
Hi there. Sorry if this post is super short, but I'm... what's the title of this post again? How writing went: the first half of it--the writing at work half--went really, really well. However, I completely acknowledge... that was only because I was stuck at another post where I could write and it was another super... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 15: The Double
So, today went alright. Not as awesomely as I was hoping though. Because, while getting ready to go out and get breakfast (instead of the jacket I previously mentioned because it was raining and the water wasn't running in my apartment)... I suddenly had an idea. When it comes to daily writing, I'm learning that my MO is... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 14: Before the Storm
Today was another easy writing session. Mind you, I left it for the absolute worst time of the day, when I'm least likely to write--in the evening, around bedtime. Not an ideal time to aim for, of course, but alright for training. Important for training actually . . . Because that busy season I mentioned,... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 13: Back in the Comfort Zone
So, I want to talk about something I realized yesterday. Could've talked about it then, but I felt like it deserved its own post. After my toaster refused to work, after narrowing my eyes at birds ripping leaves off of the tree by my window, I decided to head out and buy actual food--a wholesome breakfast... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 12: It Didn’t Work
Words for the Day: 1,492 Weird thing about that word total; my plan from yesterday (establish a work space at home, make coffee, write early in the morning, save a line as an easy starting point for the next day) absolutely didn't work. My experience with the attempt: I woke up to find that my... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 10: The Old Ways
I seem to have forgotten the old ways. Today, I had a day off. Actually, today was the beginning of my last chain of days off for the year, before the holiday season hits at my job. I'd told myself I was going to start off with a ton of work. I wound up doing... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo 2 – Day 9: Calm in the Storm
It rained today. Of course it did. Never has the weather felt so wildly appropriate. The thing is, it would have been so easy to not write at all. It would have been so natural to just wallow--take another day off. But . . . it rained. And, because everyone was sad, there were no visitors at... Continue Reading →
