NaNoWriMo: Day 22

Good morning! I hope you’re having a nice Sunday. I, for one, am staying home from church along with the rest of my family because we’ve been having a crazy weekend and there are some things we have to get done. I’ve now reached 31,000 words. I’m a little bit ahead, but I’d like to […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 20

Hello All! Well, I’m 1/3 of  the way through the month. I haven’t finished my writing for tonight, but so far I’m at 27,274 words which is a little ahead but I want to get two or three days ahead because I won’t be at home for the last couple days of November. The story […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 16

Well, it’s Day 16 … and I’ve run across a problem. I knew that my outline wasn’t complete! There’s a character in Ivy Inquisitive whose mother dies … and somehow she needs to feel as if her mother’s death was her fault and stew over it for the rest of her life. I have literally been […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 14

Hello Everyone! It’s a cloudy but beautiful (due to the orange, yellow, and red trees and suddenly bright green grass) in Oregon! 🙂 November may sound gloomy to some, but it’s quite perky here, especially when the deep blue sky peeps through … not yet today, but we must be hopeful. So, I’m up to 17,469 as […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 11

Hi y’all! I know I haven’t posted in a long, long, long, long time, but I’ve been super busy. And had nothing at all to say. Well, I’ve currently written 15,044 words. That’s nine chapters. I’m not very far into the book either, plot-wise … so I imagine this is going to be a pretty […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 3

Yesterday I got my word count up to 3,710. So far today I’ve gotten it up to 4049 and I’m now taking a short break before I start chapter two. Yes, I know I made the prologue and first chapter really long. Probably I’ll divide the first chapter in half and get rid of a bit […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 2

Hello All! 🙂 Though the prologue turned out somewhat well (remember, I said somewhat), I’m having a lot of difficulty with chapter one. I wrote it twice already and deleted it. It just won’t come out right! So, I’m going to skim lightly over the first chapter (which no longer looks anything like my outline) […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 1

It’s the first day of NaNoWriMo! I’ve paused in my writing for a few minutes to give you a quick progress report. I didn’t get in any writing before church, unfortunately. Now I’ve written 915 words … which is the first part of the prologue. I’ll have written more before evening, but here’s what I’ve got […]
