YES I CAN! Well, two days ago I was feeling very despondent. I lost so much momentum over the weekend and my word count was nowhere near where I wanted it. I thought writing on a long holiday weekend where I had plenty of time would be easy… right? Ya think? NOT! Basically I feel … More Back in the saddle again!
FAIR WARNING: I will be disabling comments on this post because I just know there are a LOT of people out there who have very definite opinions on The Twilight Saga and this is my opinion so, to those people who like to be nasty about other people’s opinions on favorite books – write your … More My take on “The Twilight Saga” – it’s my blog post… I can write about what I want.
Yes, I’m late but I finally got the thing up. OK… It was an honest mistake, I promise. I’m not going to go on too much but I do want to talk about something I tweeted about recently. A friend of mine has discovered something about her #NaNoWriMo story and I congratulate her because it’s … More Yes I know it’s late. But it’s here and that’s what counts.
I got an e-mail today from NaNoWriMo about the second week being so hard on us WriMos.

A friend of mine is also participating in NaNoWriMo for the first time this year and we … More ME vs HER: The Week 2 Blues!

I think it’s a pretty accurate depiction but what do you think? At any rate, on to the midnight madness. … More Midnight Madness… NaNoNuts!
Something I have learned the hard way about #NaNoWriMo… A good friend of mine, who is also doing NaNoWriMo, has been talking a lot about a guy she follows who already has over 20,000 words. As you can imagine, she’s quite intimidated by this. And I feel more than a little bit responsible for her … More It’s just not that hard for you…
Yesterday I received an email from GoodReads about voting in their GoodReads Choice awards. So I went to check out the nominees. (You can too. Just click the image above) Frightening to think these are our options… Fortunately, they also offer the option of writing in a vote. I voted for exactly 1 of their … More Scary what qualifies as “literature” these days…
NaNoWriMo started Friday, which means we were immediately launched into a weekend. I’m sure I’m not the only one who had a great weekend of word counts. However, Monday dawned bright and much too early with me dreaming crazy things during the night that left me feeling so worn out, it was more like I … More Word counts, Bad Dreams, Sleepless Nights and Playing catch up.
