Yes I just have to crow about it a bit! I’m excited! Celebrate with me! Oh man…now I’ll never get to sleep. Guess I’ll have to write some more! © J.C. Morrows 2013 Disclaimer: I have no control over the ads you may see below. I am sorry if any of the content is inappropriate. … More I WON!
I have a theory. I think the weekends are so much harder for some of us because of how families typically structure their weeks. For most people who work through the week, they struggle to get their minimum word count each night and a lot of nights, they don’t make it. They’re tired and stressed … More Why are weekends so hard?
What is the dilemma you ask. The dilemma is this: Do you follow where you characters lead or are you determined to keep the story on the course you’ve already determined for it?

As I have written my story, it has taken quite a few … More The existential dilemma of whether or not to follow your characters wherever they might lead.

Have you ever worked up to a midnight deadline? The scramble before midnight is a sight to behold. I found this silly picture of owls some time ago and decided it needed to be NaNoed. 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!
Fair warning… 90% of my posts for the next 29 days will be #NaNoWriMo-related. This morning, I forced myself to get up at a “decent” hour, fixed coffee and I even got out of my pajamas. Then I sat down to write. Yes…I have to make myself get out of my comfy PJs. Don’t you? … More 600 words in an hour then 250 in 10 minutes…
A Girl, A Creepy House, A Challenge: Will Fear win out over God’s Love? She’s walked by that house every day since she was ten. The kids in the neighborhood insist it’s haunted or that an old, evil witch lives there. But she accepted a challenge and she never backs down from a challenge.
