Where I Wrote: The worst diner in my neighborhood. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Not bad. There was a bit of pressure today; I had a lot I had to take care of (thus my taking a personal challenge I'd never even considered for NaNoWriMo), so I was a little rushed, but that didn't...

30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 13: Reclaimer – The Time Warner Center
Where I Wrote: The Time Warner Center. I know--I was there on Day 5. I actually went back to the exact spot where a wild Blogger appeared. I did not do this because I'm running out of places to write in. I did it specifically to reclaim that spot. If it was any other day, I... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 12: Too Perfect–Must Take Picture
Where I Seriously Barely Wrote: The New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Honestly, kinda meh. I will get it out there right off the bat that I'm not upset about how little I wrote. I am sure though that what I did write needs to be cut... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 11: My Best Writing Session… Ever?
Where I Wrote: Had a brief start at 135 East 57th and Lexington, in the atrium of the building that I still think of as Oscorp. After a short while, I migrated to my actual choice for the day, the Atrium Shops & Cafes at 54th and 3rd. How I Feel About What I Wrote: So good.... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNowriMo – Day 10: A Stark Contrast
Where I Wrote: Loreto Playground in the Bronx, a tiny park that's tucked into the suburbs and not easily accessible from any train. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really, really good. I did not make quota today, but, after Day 9's lesson, I immediately made the changes to the sneaking segment I mentioned yesterday without... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 9: The Art of the Quick Recovery
Where I Wrote: I started in City Hall Park, but, when I needed to search for a restroom, I wound up walking back to South Street Seaport, where I found Cannon's Walk. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really good, although, more than any other day, I was aware that what I wrote needs... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 8: Admitting Defeat
Where I Tried to Write: First I stopped by the NaNoWriMo write-in at Paragraph. Then it was on to a handful of places around Union Square before I gave up and went home. How I Feel About What I Wrote: I feel like I wrote exactly 20 words today. The Mood I Brought to the Table: A... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 7: Nearly Perfect
Where I Wrote: Another crawl (these are becoming the norm). I tried the City Bakery first but they were full. From there, I found a few spots on the High Line and then ended in Chelsea Market (that is, not in one of the restaurants in Chelsea Market, but a spot in the market's main... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 6: Breaking the Ritual
Where I Wrote: The laundromat down the street. And then, home. I immediately feel bad for not hitting somewhere interesting today, but I'll explain. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Fantastic. Today saw the moment where the last piece of the plot fell into place; I now have a full plot for Memory. And, thankfully, it all... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 5: Not According to Plan
Where I Wrote: Just a crawl of bad writing spots (not intentionally, of course). I began on the Central Park side of the water fountain on the northeast corner of 59th and Central Park West. Then Whole Foods in the Time Warner Center. How I Feel About What I Wrote: I did make the tough... Continue Reading →
