Rules are Meant to Be Broken. Right?

Rules are meant to be broken. Does that include your own rules? I would guess so. Or is that something people say when they can’t follow the rules they created for themselves in a moment of trying too hard? Let’s review the rules I made just over a week ago. Write everyday. No that’s notContinue reading “Rules are Meant to Be Broken. Right?”

Stop Avoiding the Why

Day 8 of 2021, and I am not on plan. The very first goal? Write every day at 7pm. I believe I wrote twice at or around 7pm and committed to the full 30minutes. The other 7pm’s in the week fell at the wrong time. I mean, yeah, itwas 7pm eastern standard time, but inContinue reading “Stop Avoiding the Why”

Rules of Engagement

Hello 2021! We have been waiting for you! New Year’s resolutions are not my thing. I have never been one to start “anew” with the new year.

On a whim, I deleted myContinue reading “Writer in Progress”

Go on. Well, you’ve either stayed for the rest or you have come back to thank meContinue reading “Yes, NaNoWriMo, There is a Goal!”

Thoughts on Camp Nano and My Final Word Count

Camp NaNoWriMo ended 7/31/2020. I stopped writing somewhere around day 10. Yep, day 10. While this is far shorter than the 30 days given to meet my 15k goal, I managed to write 7k works in 10 days or less. Pretty nifty. This was my first Camp NaNoWriMo. I was not sure what to expect.Continue reading “Thoughts on Camp Nano and My Final Word Count”
