These days seem to be flying by. I can’t believe it’s already day 10 of my unofficial participation in National Novel Writing Month. Another late night (they’re going to be the death of me — or my writing; no, not my writing), but I still got up at the usual time and sleepily wrote. It…

Yes! The writer’s block with my novel scene finally broke this morning. The absence did it good, I guess. In day 9 of my unofficial participation in National Novel Writing Month, I got up early and finished the revised scene I’ve been having problems with.

As promised in my last post, I’m checking in today to mark my revising progress this November, in conjunction with National Novel Writing Month. I started a little late in November, so this is Day 2 for me. I’ll go through to Dec. 2 instead of ending on Nov. 30. Anyway, good news, I’m on…

I was feeling very unmotivated recently (as you can probably see by the lack of posts on this blog — I apologize), perhaps because of the darker mornings, perhaps because of the ever-coming work in my day job. I don’t know that it was any one thing. I don’t think it’s ever any one thing.…
