(writing/personal) Sunday updates

Today is the first day of October. This year has seemed to fly by, and yet it’s been the longest year of my life. I’m told that grief is like that.   Today is also the 10th day in a row that I’ve written on Advent. I’ve got an accountability buddy, and it’s really working. …

(nano) And Advent #5 is DONE

  With a day to spare, I validated Advent #5 (which really needs a title) at 50,081 words. And it’s done! So starting December 1, come back here to see what Schrodinger, Molly, Drew, and the rest of the Carter’s Cove crew are up to for THIS December!   However, this is only one goal. …

(writing/personal) Nano on the horizon!

I can’t believe it’s nearly November. This year has flown by. You know what else I can’t believe? I’m going to try and write two novels in November. Yes, I’m probably insane. But, well, what are goals for if not to inspire us, right? I’ve started going to the studio first thing in the morning …

(weekly update) It’s Sunday again – a day of rest, right? No.

Well, in a way it is. I’m in my favorite sweat pants and my DKP teeshirt, and I have no intention of changing. I’m going to move at a pace that still gets things done, but doesn’t wear me out. I’m getting my next Remicade treatment on Wednesday, and I’m still nurturing a cold (which …

(writing) NaNo is coming!

It’s getting colder. I have my first cold of the fall (joy. It didn’t even wait for September 23 to come in, and it’s really overstaying its welcome. But I digress.) and the leaves are changing. And you all know what that means: It’s NaNoWriMo time again! I’m on the site as captain_hobbes, if you …

(advent) Upcoming goodies!

I’m sorry, folks.  I’ve been neglecting the blog this month, because I’m knee-deep in the Advent story for next month, and it’s NaNo, and yeah, that’s not an excuse, but there it is.  However, I have some goodies coming up, and I wanted to let you know!   First, I’ll be on Mitchell Plested’s Get …

(writing/process) Thoughts as we head towards NaNo

So, I’m working on my outline for the third Advent story for NaNoWriMo, since that’s that project that’s next on my list (and the story needs to be written), and I’m thinking about my writing process.  And since we’re coming up to NaNo, I thought I would share my thoughts on process with you all. …

(writing) An update, only a little late

This week has not been good to most of my life, I’ll be honest.  I’m in the last week before my Remicade treatment, the weather is playing havoc with my allergies, and it seems like every one around me is sick at work.  The upshot?  A migraine.  Yeah, a migraine.   But despite that, I’m …

(writing) Not only an update, but musings

I’m still writing.  As of today, I’ll have written for 138 days in a row.  I haven’t missed a day, not even through Harper’s Retreat, or the ick that I was sick with, or anything else.  I still wrote, even if it was only 250 words   I still wrote.  I showed up to the …

Starting the marathon…

This weekend, with the exception of Sunday, when I have Curia and then my Dad’s birthday, all I am doing is writing.  I’m up to 12k on NaNo, but I’m so far behind, and I have to catch up! I’m having issues this year, because I’m writing without an outline.  I know where I want …
