Lemme tell you, this has been a really crappy NaNo so far. Not for any reason except this: my discipline is broken. I have a plot I love, characters I love, and a setting I absolutely and completely love. I just have no butt-in-chair-ness. But today, I said I was…
Some of my favorite writing links, just in time for NaNoWriMo: Outline Your Novel in 30 Minutes – This has a lot of useful questions to get to know your characters. I’ve used this several times. Sketch a Novel in an Hour – Very similar to the first, which it’s…
I validated last night, in the middle of the scene that is about to ramp our characters up into the climax of the novel. Chloe and Braxton aren’t talking to each other. As soon as Martin finds out about that, he won’t be talking to Chloe either. Fortunately, Jason and…

YAAAAAAY! I just officially caught up to where I’m supposed to be and even passed it! It’s a good thing, because I had completely forgotten I made plans for November 30. Of course, there’s still a good chance I’ll skip those plans so I can finish the novel. I’m getting…

Broke the dreaded 30k today. I’m still 5,000 words behind, but that’s okay. I wrote over 5,000 words today, so I can still catch up. LOL Dumped some frustration and angst on my min character today. Also a Stunning Revelation, and a moment of UST. Still having fun. I hope…
I officially crossed the halfway mark tonight. I know I’m still three days behind, but I think I can catch up by Sunday night at the latest. I hit some sad, heavy backstory stuff tonight as I wrote. I hope it wasn’t too much infodump, but there hasn’t been a…
WOOHOO!!! I have revised my graphs down to 50k instead of 75k, because I’m going to keep hoping for 75k but right now I just want to catch up with where I should be for 50. I made a lot of progress tonight! Just over 4300 words, and if I…
