Week two was a struggle. I feel like I built up all this momentum in week one, all this excitement for the story and then somewhere around the beginning of week 2 (most likely when my outline went off the rails), I started to lose interest. Thankfully, I got it back and finally I’m now…

Between a few days off, a roadtrip and a holiday, the writing still continued smoothly, even though we entered the dreaded week 2! April 5th Today was an interesting day.

Here we are again in April during Camp NaNoWriMo. Usually I do pretty well in November, and April and July mostly suffer, but I’m hoping to blog every day (or if not every few days) to keep myself accountable for the month. So far, the writing year has been good to me. I’m hoping to…

January Results Write One Short Story I succeeded in writing a short story, and actually reaching the end at the end of the month. If I had focused more on writing this month, I could have finished it a lot earlier and had a lot less stress, but it’s all a learning experience. I guess…

December Results Finish an Open Project December seemed to get away from me this year.
