Day 12

Another late post. Busy day today. But it was a good writing morning for day 12 of my unofficial participation in National Novel Writing Month. It didn’t start out so well. I got up, planted myself in front of the computer, wrote a sentence, and thought, “I have no idea where I’m going with this…

Day 11

Late late post today, as I worked late in my day job and almost forgot to check in. But the good news is that my unofficial participation in National Novel Writing Month is progressing fine. My novel revision is still going well, slowly, but well. I’m figuring out this middle part bit by bit, trying some…

Day 10

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…

Day 9

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. And this version reads much better and fits with the story much…

Day 8

It has been more than a week in my unofficial participation in National Novel Writing Month. Yay! Got up early and spent about two hours in front of the computer. I can’t report that I got that much done, I’m afraid, but I was there, fingers poised over keys and occasionally pressing them. Today I…

Day 7

Slow going today. Between staying up late (or should I say early) playing Rock Band last night and getting up early to walk our dog and go to Mass, I felt tired practically all day. I didn’t get my writing in this morning, but I did get some in this evening. It’s not as much…

Day 6

It’s day 6 in my unofficial participation in National Novel Writing Month and all is still going well. I wrote another three and a half pages today on the new story I’ve been working on. The character is still bopping around and the words are flowing. It was a little slow going when I first…

Day 5

Getting my post in earlier today. Woke up early and got a good hour of writing in, another four pages for the new story. But now, the story is starting to come together. I still haven’t reached the point in the story that I had originally envisioned. But, as I was writing today, more of…

Day 4

Again checking in late in the day, but again reporting about an hour of writing this morning, as part of my unofficial participation in National Novel Writing Month. I stuck with the new story this morning, and again the words flowed out. It’s strange; I approach it every morning with trepidation because I know that…

Day 3

Checking in a little late today, but I can report for my National Novel Writing Month goals that I got up and wrote for about an hour this morning. The good news is that the words were flowing, but not with my novel edit. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I started a new story today,…
