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 – 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 →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 4: Maintenance
Where I Wrote: Bronx Park, just a short walk from one of the entrances to the Bronx Zoo. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really good. I was actually confused by how much I got out and how quickly it happened (from just before sunset to just after). It's enough to balance the fact... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 3: Catching Up
Where I Wrote: Pier 15 at South Street Seaport. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really awesome. At worst, a tiny bit worried that I'm being too indulgent with my main characters in Memory. The Mood I Brought to the Table: Really, really good. The Experience: I got out early today, just as I'd planned after... Continue Reading →
