Another bright and cheery NaNoWriMo-Monday-morning to ya! It’s the last one! The end is nigh. Yay, I have/will hit my 50k! (Or: Curses! Not this year.) I’m in the latter group. That being said, 50k was not my goal. I’m nearing the respectable 15k that I aimed to achieve and am finding my new…
November (and NaNoWriMo) are two-thirds over! Repeat the refrain and keep at it, writers! Or, for those of you who are ridiculous and are ahead or at the 50k mark, maybe stop at the first 500 words today. 😉 Have a drink for the rest of us! Happy Thanksgiving, thanks for reading and for joining…
NaNoWriMo 2016 is almost halfway over! How’s it going? My word count is somewhere it should have been leading in to week 2…but, hey, life! I’m writing (most every day) and getting more words out than I normally average. Satisfaction level = high! With the midway point on NaNo on the horizon, I thought it was…

Happy NaNoWriMo, week 2, everybody!…
It may be Halloween, but it’s also the eve of NaNoWriMo! I’m not certain I will find the hours in the day to put all 1,667 daily words on the page. But I am planning to try! Here’s hoping the words flow in abundance for all of us who are embarking on the NaNo journey of 2016! *** What’s…
It’s been a busy week! Some writing, lots of plotting and learning new habits. Ever heard of Pomodoro Method? How has it worked for you? I’m making some good progress thanks to nightly micro-plotting! This week I’ll add another new habit: Dictating! Check back to see if the headset is intact after I make a go…

I saw this cartoon and thought it was a perfect fit for my first day home. Last night (actually, this morning) I arrived home after the bucket-list trip with my dad and brother. It’s good to be home! But oh, my. It was nice to get away. I got to sit down for my whole meal.…
I’m the bucket-list trip with my dad and brother, so suffice it to say, not so much writing right now. Lots of Google mapping. And some wandering around. At break-neck walking paces, because in my family, even when lost, we are GOING TO GET THERE QUICKLY. It’ll all make for a good story one day. 🙂…
