I was able to bust through into Chapter 3 on Sunday, ripping through 1,800+ words in a single day. This was despite the fact that I had to take a lengthy break in the middle of the day to get all of our leaves cleaned up. My father helped me out, so a shout out […]
Now the wife is cracking the whip!
She’s keeping me on task, that’s for sure. I was going to deal with only having about 700 words written for the day. And she talked me into continuing on, trudging mercilessly through another 600 words for a total today of 1,365. Man, this is tough going. And it’s only day two! I can’t imagine […]
Just under 2,000 for day one
Wow. I started off with about 742 words half-heartedly punched out over my lunch break today. I guess my brain just wasn’t in it at the time. But just now, in about a half hour, I threw out another 1,200 words. The second section of chapter one just came running out of nowhere. It was […]

I’ve decided that with NaNoWriMo fast approaching, now is a perfect time to get back into Ficlets. So, I logged back into the site and took a look at the dusty place that I hadn’t visited in several months. I checked through my contacts and realized that some of my favorite authors also have neglected […]
I’m NaNoWriMoing
I don’t know if you can actually make NaNoWriMo into a verb, but you know I like a linguistic challenge. Whatever you might call the process, as you can probably tell by the icon to the left, I’m throwing myself headlong into NaNoWriMo this year. For those of you unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo (and I wager […]
