LOVE. WRITE. LAUGH.
November has come and gone, and with it brought many a wonderful things to my writing life.

So I've had a bit of a mind melt on my NaNoWriMo attempt. Over the past few days, I've realized that putting pressure on myself to hit the 50,000 word mark at this point in my life is making me feel unhappy and exhausted, and like I'm losing focus on why I'm writing. The first time… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 18-21 – Word Count – Who’s Counting Anyway?

And editing and revising on Saturday and Sunday. I was most definitely working hard and doing my best. Am I killin' ya? Get on with… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Day 9/10 – Word Count – BIG NEWS!
Had a much better session this morning. The characters were available and chatty. I'll admit I had to wrangle them in a bit. They still wanted to wander away somewhat, but I roped them in and kept them close. Then it was stellar.
