I completed the November writing challenge again! While I did not rewrite my older scenes, I did read a few of them and continue writing from where they left off. My other contingency plan, that of working in other stories, got me through the last week. The words often flow easier when one looks at…

Half-way through November, woohoo! One-quarter of the way through the challenge, yikes! I ended up choosing an old story of mine for this November’s writing project. It is some type of fantasy, possibly urban fantasy, in which Earth is the only plane where the main populace do not perform magic. It has been several years…

Next month, I will take the challenge of writing 50k words in 30 days! I have started narrowing down which project I will work on. The perfect one would have most of its plot already known, be long enough that it would take fifty thousand words or more to tell it all, and would still…

Hello, everyone! Let’s dive right in. I looked into the NaNoWriMo scandal(s) again. Apparently, they are being criticized for more than one thing. This time, I also read their official website. Obviously, the statement they published paints themselves in a better light than news outlets or disgruntled writers. They offered general reasons for why things…

My website needs maintenance again. It wants to update the version of WordPress. The walkthroughs recommend I back up my website before such a change, just in case. That means I should probably do one again after the update is successful. A friend of mine got a job in a computer field I cannot quite…

It has been a crazy Summer so far. We’ve had a couple of health scares with an elderly relative, a meet-up with other relatives from out of town, arranged some repairs to our house, and are partway through preparations needed before the workers are supposed to come. With everything that is going on, I have…

If you have read my posts, you probably know that I participate in NaNoWriMo, which is a yearly writing event hosted by a non-profit organization of the same name. I commit myself to the challenge, I use the word counter provided on their website, and maybe buy that year’s shirt. I don’t use their forums.…

Hello, everyone! It is May again, and the anniversary of this website. I checked my host provider; everything is up to date and ready to keep running for another year. Last time, I told you I was in the middle of sorting through an enormous pile of notes. That pile is not gone yet, but…

Once again, I have joined Camp NaNoWriMo April. The goal I chose is not a word count, but minutes; 1800 minutes, one hour for every day this month, shall be spent clearing out my notes cache. I intend to reach the bottom! If I finish with time left over, I will move on to fixing…

Well, if you read last month’s post, you know my personal project should be done by now. It would be done, except for a miscommunication. I have tried twice to submit the paperwork, only to be delayed by technicalities. Still, I think I have everything in line this time. It will be finished this coming…
