I am a would be, wanna be, wish I was writer. Young adult, specifically.
This is the place I keep the things I love, as most do. The things that make me laugh, inspire me, and, most importantly, keep me writing.
I am a procrastinator, a nerdfighter, and a coffee addicted receptionist.
Finally. This scene is edited. Not done. Not perfect. Just edited. It’s now in second draft stages which means I don’t have to look at it for a while.
I can finally move on to the next scene. Just need to deiced if my frustration level is too high to tackle a chunk of it tonight.
@3 months ago with 1 noteFinishing up this chapter edit for my novel and watching the Hunger Games… again.
Then blogging, reading, and bed. Love Saturdays.
@3 months ago with 5 notesOMG just had one of those holy shit moments of inspiration. That moment that you have been waiting for through the whole novel. That moment. That moment where you can no longer type fast enough and you wish you hadn’t had that extra shot of espresso because this is more of a rush than any drug could ever give you. GAH THAT MOMENT!!!!
I feel better about it, now that the plot hole is smaller. Nice. It is 6,624 words and the whole novel is at 93,244 words. So, I took a hit there. Oh well. Had to be done.
On to chapter 8…
@7 months ago
Wooo! Longest it’s ever been! The longest I’ve ever worked on a novel. The most words I have ever written about one subject!
In just once scene. Feeling pretty darn good about it.
Yeah, I guess I’ll go to work now.

long day at work… finally I can novel. curled up with some chips and salsa, ready to tackle ‘act 2’
@3 months ago with 1 noteSo for nano, I have decided to plug through as much of book two, of my dystopian series, as I can. As you all know if you are my nano buddy (If you aren’t why not? Look for me I’m littlelummox on there. Message me and we can be all motivated writers together.) I’m not getting a huge word count… yet.
I’m focusing on my plot outline right now. I have Thursday and Friday off, so my hope is to kill the word count gap then.
BUT… In my outline I just touched upon the mean girl of the book, and why she’s so mean and I’m instantly like “Dear God. Her life is so hard. Back story, why you coming at me like this?” I love these characters. Honestly. LOVE. They are my children and everything they do makes me cry.
How are your nanos going? Hows the word count?
@6 months ago with 2 notesRevolution and writing.
@7 months ago with 4 notesNo big deal. My novels at 90k.
I forgot to tell you. I finished revising chapter 3 on Wednesday. Working on 4, with hopes of finishing it this weekend.
It’s just over 5k and what used to be the first 8 chapters are now three. The book is currently
WHAT!!!! Sorry, just checked the novel is OVER 80,000 WORDS!!!!
Progress!
New goal, 85k.
@11 months ago with 1 noteSo, I “finished” editing chapter two a little while ago. And I thought it was short then, and I started chapter three which was even shorter. So I thought… Why not combine them?
So, with edits my novel is now 77,825 words!
Chapter two is 5,797 words and I like most of them. The first two chapters are what was originally the first 5 chapters. They equal over 10k of the words and I think I’m going to print them out and give them to the best friend to proof read. PROGRESS!
I have four hours left at work, and it’s the slowest day here as it is an American holiday. Lets see if we can make a dent in chapter three, shall we? Chocolate bar first…
