I have already discovered that this year is going to be very different than last year. When I participated last year in NaNoWriMo, I was so focused on getting my daily word count, I was not even a little bit tempted to edit as I went. Not true this year… it has been a constant … More I may have missed posting the first day but I didn’t miss writing…

This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. 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.

Today I am going to talk about the different goals we all have and how they may differ from the beginning of … More NaNoGoals – What are yours?
