Read moreI’ve been very slack with my NaNoWriMo diary entries, so I’m catching up with this blog post: Day 2—I wrote a review of Episode 2 of the Charmed (Reboot). (634 words) Day 3—I wrote a review of Season 1, Episode 7 of Playing for Keeps. (887 words) Day 4—I wrote a review of Episode 3 of the Charmed (Reboot) and
Read moreYesterday, I managed to write 1,020 words. Not bad, but I didn’t reach the recommended daily goal of 1,667 words, which was disappointing. I wrote the prologue for Where We Are Now. Like the prologue of its predecessor, How We Got Here, the prologue of Where We Are Now is from Lorraine’s point of view. She talks about what has
Read moreI’m participating in NaNoWriMo again this year for the third year in a row, despite my failures in the previous two years to meet or surpass the 50,000 word goal. Instead of trying to write a novel/novelette or micro novels, I’m going to kill a few birds with one stone by taking the opportunity to finish short stories I’ve been
Read moreThis blog post/diary entry is long overdue, but still better late than never. Overall I failed at my attempt to complete NaNoWriMo 2017 in spectacular fashion by giving up after a week and only managing 505 words. I thought about giving up on NaNoWriMo altogether after failing in 2016 and 2017 to achieve the 50,000 word goal, however I do

Read moreSo just when I felt like a failure on Day 1, I felt like one even more so on Day 2 due to only managing 92 words. The short stories/novels didn’t come to me as easily on this day, I only managed to write short stories/novels around the theme of “Breakups and Breakdowns” which were really me blowing off steam
Read moreAs you can see from this blog post title, I clearly failed my word limit goal, that being said I did a lot better than I thought I would. I decided the night before (Oct 31) to write the short stories with a different theme each day. The “Firsts” theme for the first day of NaNoWriMo 2017 was a fitting
Read moreWell here we are again, NaNoWriMo eve! Tomorrow is the start of National Novel Writing Month, this year will mark my second go at it. Last year I decided to try it for the first time to challenge myself as a writer, and to finally write the story that I have had planned out in my head for about a
Read moreIn all honesty, I never thought I would finish my novel or novella, which later turned out to be a novelette. I spent the last day writing the last part of How We Got Here, the epilogue. I felt that since the prologue was from Lorraine’s perspective, it was only fitting that the epilogue would be the same. In
