Well, we've almost reached the end of 2023, so I suppose it's time to chat about my goals. This year turned out to be packed full of stuff. My husband became a bus driver, which flipped our routine. I managed to get my writing back on track after spending so much of the last few y…

It's almost the end of November, so I decided to write a post about my thoughts regarding NaNoWriMo. As you might already know, I've been a big fan of this writing challenge for YEARS. The first time I took part was in 2006, and only skipped one year because I was busy editing. Ev…

Hi! How are you today?  What's new? Well,  NaNoWriMo is in full swing, and that means that most of my time is spent writing.  Yep. I'm totally  getting lost in this unhinged story and enjoying every minute of it. 😅 I'm at that stage where the scenes are coming fast and I can…

Hey! How are you today? Did you have an awesome Halloween? How was your first week of November? After taking the spooky month off from writing and revision, it's now time to get stuck into one of my favourite annual writing traditions: NaNoWriMo . While I didn't actually do any ne…

Since I finally signed up the other day and have been thinking about the story non-stop, I thought I'd post a little something about the upcoming National Novel Writing Month. 😅  NaNoWriMo  is something I've been doing since way back in 2006. Since then, it's become an annu…

Hey! How are you today? Well, it's that time of the year again. But this time it took me a little longer to pick a story idea because I couldn't decide on a story. Until yesterday. 😧 So tonight, I officially signed up for NaNoWriMo 2023 . Yay!! Here's the very brief descripti…

Well, here we are again. We've almost reached the end of another year. And boy did 2022 turn out to be quite a weird, and often shitty, year. I thought 2021 was bad, but things are not getting better. Nope. I'm not sure what's happening to the cosmic order of things, but it fe…

As November winds down, I thought I'd post my final thoughts about this year's  NaNoWriMo  WIP and my personal experience with this annual event. Anyone who's been reading my blog the last few years knows that I spent most of 2021/22 working on revising the backlog of first dr…

Hey! It feels like I posted my latest writing update only a few days ago... Wait a sec. I did ! 😅 Thats what happens when you get so close to The End that it's the only thing you can think about. Seriously, this story consumed my brain SO MUCH, I had to get it finished. ASAP. So, th…

Hello again! How are you today? I hope you're doing well during these truly weird times. 😳 As the title of this post states, this is the third week of NaNoWriMo . Although I technically reached my 50k goal last Friday , the story wasn't over. So, I kept writing until I reached th…

Hey! How are ya? The world is such a weird place at the moment. A new wave of Covid has hit Oz, but everyone's still pretending it's over. Ugh. And there's another useless rich asshole trying to ruin something that didn't need his meddling bullshit. Yes, I'm talking ab…

Hey! How are you? I can't believe it's  NaNoWriMo  time again. But after all the revision I completed this year, I was looking forward to getting stuck into something new. I spent a good chunk of last month thinking about, taking notes, and adding to my inspirational/research pics…

Since I've already signed up, it's time to write my annual National Novel Writing Month blog post. 😅  The first time I took part in  NaNoWriMo  was all the way back in 2006. 😯 Since then, it's become a tradition for me. I only skipped it once (because of editing).  And now t…

Hey! How are ya? 😃 Well, it's that time of the year again... So you know what that means.  I signed up for NaNoWriMo 2022 . Yay!! I've been taking part for years, and this time I picked my project earlier than usual. So early that the 2022 badges aren't even online yet. 😬 He…

Yep. That's right. Since this is my penultimate Revision Project (yay!), I decided to take only one week off between drafts. 😁 And it turned out to be a nice week because I read several awesome novellas, and spent Thursday and Friday with hubby. It was such a lovely long weekend. So,…

Well, here I am again. How are you? This week's NaNoWriMo post is a bit earlier because I reached The End  yesterday.  That's right. The first draft of STUCK is now DONE. Yay! 😁🎉 This makes me really happy. Not just because it's another NaNo to add to my list, but also be…

Well, the second week of NaNoWriMo is now over. At least, it is for me because I'll be taking the weekend off. I need a bit of time to get all my story thoughts in a row. LOL. Oh, and guess what? Today I reached the 50k word target.  And that means that I've completed my 15th NaN…

Well, the first week of NaNoWriMo is over (for me) and I'm really happy with my progress. This year, the very first day of November was a Monday, so that was a great way to start things off. Because by the time Friday (today) rocked around, I'd already squeezed in five days wo…

Since I signed up the other day, I thought I'd write my annual  National Novel Writing Month  blog post. 😅 I've been taking part in NaNoWriMo for a long time. My first time was way back in 2006. 😯 This is something I make room for every year because I enjoy it so much.  Actual…

Hey! 😃 It's that time of the year again... and you know what that means, right? I finally signed up for NaNoWriMo 2021 . Yay!! I planned to take part months ago, because it will be a nice break from all the revision I've been doing this year. But I realised yesterday that I ha…
