I posted the last day of November about successfully completing NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, by writing 50,000 words of the novel I’ve been working on. I was what we call a NaNo Rebel; instead of strictly following the rules about starting a brand new project on November 1, I chose to work onContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Wrap-Up”

NaNo News!
Woo hoo! Last night I hit 50,000 words for November and won NaNoWriMo! The whole manuscript is more than that; I’m a NaNo Rebel and was working this month on a book that I already had in progress. But I did write 50K of it this month, as well as editing most of what IContinue reading “NaNo News!”
NaNo Novel Progress
I’m more than a week into National Novel Writing month, so it’s about time for an update. I’m a NaNo Rebel this year, meaning I’m not following the usual NaNoWriMo protocol of beginning with a brand new novel project at the beginning of the month and planning to write 50,000 words on it during theContinue reading “NaNo Novel Progress”
NaNo Is Now
It’s November 1, time to herald the start of National Novel Writing Month, also known as NaNoWriMo! The idea is to write like the wind all month and complete a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. Or 50,000 words of a longer novel. I am a NaNo Rebel this year, as I so often am. ThatContinue reading “NaNo Is Now”
Camp NaNo Progress: Month’s End
Last week, I finally acknowledged to myself that there was no way I’d be able to meet my goal of 20,000 words written on the novel during July 2021, and I reluctantly revised my goal to 15,000. Last night, with an hour and forty-five minutes left in the month, I achieved that revised goal. AsContinue reading “Camp NaNo Progress: Month’s End”
Camp NaNo Progress, or Lack Thereof
Oh, no! July is almost over, and my Camp NaNoWriMo goal is still unmet. I was doing well earlier in the month, but I fell behind in the last couple weeks, and I have not yet been able to catch up. (NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, in which writers try to write an entireContinue reading “Camp NaNo Progress, or Lack Thereof”
Camp NaNo Update
After getting off to a great start on July’s Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), I have fallen behind. My trip to Tangier Island cut into my writing time, but I’ve also had trouble getting back into it since I’ve returned. So many things have gotten in the way! I’m not terribly far behind, butContinue reading “Camp NaNo Update”
Camp NaNo Progress
A few days ago I posted that I was participating in Camp NaNoWriMo for the month of July, with the goal of adding 20,000 words to the science-fiction novel I’m working on. That comes out to about 645 words a day. I’m going to be without internet access for a few days, and may notContinue reading “Camp NaNo Progress”
Return to Writing Camp
It’s Camp NaNo Time! Camp NaNoWriMo most recently happened in April. I met my writing goal that month, and am now camping out in the July version. Camp NaNoWriMo is a virtual camp that encourages participants to set a goal and work on a writing project all month. It’s a more flexible version of theContinue reading “Return to Writing Camp”
Novel Progress: One Step Forward, Two Back
At the end of April I was pleased to announce that I had written more than 20,000 words of the YA science fiction novel that month, meeting my Camp NaNoWriMo goal for April. I’ve been writing since then, and today went to add up the words to see how much further I had progressed inContinue reading “Novel Progress: One Step Forward, Two Back”
