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. I do however try to be outside in the open air when the new year rolls in. As I stood outside last night, I listened for any signContinue reading “Rules of Engagement”

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”

Camp NaNoWriMo 2020 – Day 7

Today marks the 7th day of NaNoWriMo. I have written about 3,600 words of Emily’s backstory. My main goal this month is to figure out who Emily is as a person, how she meets Liam, and what kind of relationship they have before Athan comes into the picture. I am off to a good startContinue reading “Camp NaNoWriMo 2020 – Day 7”
