Kinda feeling big time like this duck. I started day 11 of NaNoWriMo at 4:30am, groggily trudging downstairs to make coffee. I wrote two thousand words by noon, and took a walk with the kids and kitten during lunch. I sat down this afternoon and wrote another thousand. My word count now totals 19,054, whichContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 11: The Day I Wrote ALL THE WORDS”

The story took a bit to get started, but then the words flowed from my fingers. A subplot developed, and I wrote two scenes that weren’t evenContinueContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Day 4: How It Went”
NaNoWriMo Day 3: How It Went
