Passed 11k on the new Schrodinger story today, and I hope it continues to be as fun as I think it is! I’m now officially out of outline (eek!) so we’ll see. I have nothing planned for Saturday but hanging out with Kate and Brian and writing. So hopefully I can crank out oh, I …

NaNoWriMo update
I am still doing NaNo, and I’m going to be doing daily updates from now on. Today, my total stands at 8363 words – I’m about 14k behind, but I’m trying to catch up. I refuse to give up! I also received my edits for Last Rites this past weekend, so I have to start working …
Sunday is made for Chex Mix!!!
And writing. And laundry. And cooking. It’s one of those days. I need to write today – I’ve got two blog posts I need to write, as well as the outline for NaNoWriMo. I also need to answer email, and make food for what is going to be a busy week. And there’s almost no …
Sunday is a recovery day, right?
The investigation was…interesting. Enough said. Today, it’s a grey, cold day, but thanks to the Cooks’ Guild, my house smells like baking bread. They made rolls. It smells lovely. I might have to make bread later this week. Today, however, I need to write. I have just opened a new Scrivener file for the Advent …
(personal/to-do/writing) Sunday is a recharge day.

(personal/writing) Suck it up, buttercup (or the need to stop looking for excuses)
I haven’t posted much lately. I haven’t really been writing, either – I’ve been stupidly busy, but that’s not an excuse. I was listening to Nathan Lowell’s excellent #tommw podcast (http://www.nathanlowell.org/tommw/) and he talked recently about not making excuses for why he wasn’t writing – the fact that he had to stop doing that and …
(goals/recap) In with the new, out with the old
2012 is here. 2011 has left. While it wasn’t as bad a year for me as it was for some of my friends, I’m not sorry to see it go. It’s a new year, and that means a chance to look at what I’ve done in the past year, and what will be happening in …
(writing/nanowrimo) Lessons I’ve learned from this year’s NaNo
Okay, last NaNo post, I promise. 🙂 But I learned a few things about my writing style this time around (I learn things every time, honestly) and I thought I’d share them with you guys. So here are the lessons I’m taking away from this year. 1. Planning: I am not a pantser. This NaNo …
