W.I.P: Writer is Procrastinating
As most of you may know, my dream is to be a published, best-selling author one day. When I was in middle school, I learned that Christopher Paolini had gotten Eragon published when he was nineteen, and he became my hero. Over a decade has passed since then, and the closest to getting published I … Continue reading W.I.P: Writer is Procrastinating
Camp NaNo Check In
Howdy! It's a little over half way through April. So, I thought it was time to do a check in. My goal for April Camp NaNo was 20,000 words on my novel from November. I have written a grand total of 707 words so far. I just haven't had the motivation to write on that … Continue reading Camp NaNo Check In

One Week In!
How's your NaNoWriMo projects going? I am currently sitting at less than 3k words, but I have only had one day where I did not write anything. I also had my story idea change on Monday, so that has also had a factor in my word count. Actually, it almost feels like I'm writing this … Continue reading One Week In!
It’s Go Time
It's November first, which means I have 29 days until my last CPA exam AND NaNoWriMo has started. Because of said final exam, I am not expecting to hit the 50,000 word mark this year. I will be happy if I manage to write anything at all. If you want to join me, sign up … Continue reading It’s Go Time
Camp NaNoWriMo
Three days in and I have nothing. Thank goodness this not the big one. I still have a couple of months before November. At least Camp NaNo lets you pick your goals. I opted for 20,000 words for the month of July. It's a little less than half of the full NaNoWriMo, but a few … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo
