I’m always in awe of authors like John Scalzi or Jay Lake who blog every day. I totally want to be like them, except I’m realizing two things (besides the fact that they’re way more popular and successful than I am – I know that already): 1. I don’t know that I have something to …

(nanowrimo) Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!
Posted on November 30, 2011
Look what I have!!! I did it! I did it! 50,000 words in one month!!!! Now that the insanity of NaNoWriMo is over, I can actually like, do things other than writing again. What a weird feeling. I will NOT be doing an Advent story this year – sorry. This story was supposed to be …
(personal/writing/to-do) Deciding to take Sunday off
Posted on November 20, 2011
Well, in the sense that I’m not going to Williamsfaire. I feel like I SHOULD, but you know what? I need to do laundry, I need to cook for the week, and I need to keep writing. And I wasn’t going to really do anything at Williamsfaire anyways, other than write. So I feel better …
(personal/metrics) Finally, a day off!
Posted on November 19, 2011
It was weird, working this Thursday. Sigh, guess I’ll have to get used to it! I’m enjoying being home to eat with hubby, though, even if it IS hard to get up at 6:30 am every morning. Today is a writing/cooking/cleaning day. I’ve already gotten 12 kittens’ worth of words (1200 words, for those not …
(metrics) Trying to catch up on NaNoWriMo
Posted on November 15, 2011
The official NaNo counter says I’m at 15911 words, which is a bit over 9k of where I need to be. However, I’ve written over 4k today, so I’m happy, and if I can do that over the next few days, I should be able to catch up. Short post because my arm hurts. I …
(metrics) Broke 10k!
Posted on November 10, 2011
Sorry, it’s been hard to update. I’m currently at 11,107 words for NaNo, so I’ve made it over 1/5 of the way. Yay! I’ll do more words later today, and now that I know how to get a word count on the Neo (yes, it’s written on the back, and no, of course I didn’t …
(metrics/nano/writing) Day 3 of NaNoWriMo and I’m still pacing myself!
Posted on November 3, 2011
Current NaNo wordcount: 5045 To be on Target: 5001 It’s not much of a cushion, but the fact that I’ve written 5k in the last three days is amazing to me, so I’ll enjoy it. I need to catch up a bit more with my outline, so I might not get a bunch done tomorrow, …
(metrics) First counts of NaNoWriMo
Posted on November 1, 2011
1808 words today, all done after midnight. Good start to NaNo!
(personal/updates) The Weekly Round-up for Sunday and NaNoWriMo thoughts
Posted on October 30, 2011
I’ve decided that a weekly round-up is a good idea, not only because it gives me a spot to post goals and toss thoughts around, but because I can be accountable to my readers. With NaNoWriMo just around the corner, being accountable is a good thing. No real to-do list for today, simply because I’m …
(metrics) A little behind on the reporting, but not on the writing.
Posted on December 2, 2010
I’ve been writing every day, just not posting metrics, which is bad. So this is a little catch-up post, just to show the state of the wordcount prior to writing today, and to keep me honest. Then, it’s off to write more Molly and Schrodinger! I ended NaNo not winning, but with a word count …
