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.
With the start of camp nano tomorrow I have set up my goal for the month. I would like to have 15k put into my 2nd novel and finish the hand edits to the 1st novels first act. I think that’s reasonable.
@1 month ago with 2 notesAll this time I thought I was behind in nano, guess not because last night I came home and my keyboard set on fire.
This is not a metaphor. It’s a faulty wire.
I started typing and my keyboard set on fire.
@6 months ago with 2 notesBreaking from nano for a minute to write a short story for my writers group Christmas shindig. It’s really dark. I’m feeling kind of ill writing this.
Here is a cat to make me feel less horrible:
I am about to run out of this house. Only slowing down to get a coffee. Then I am off to work, on my day off, but it is needed. Then to Barnes & Noble to make up this horrible word count in my nano.
How is your nano going?
@6 months ago1,222. Mid way through day three…
@6 months ago with 4 notesAlso… NaNoWriMo is soon. Are we terrified yet?
@7 months agoOMG 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!!!!

How is your word count going?
@6 months ago with 2 notesI am writing my nano today in a thrown. Coffee shops are the best.
@6 months ago with 2 noteswell… the best laid plans.
have not touched my nano all day. a lot of work not a lot of writing.
oh well… i have 2000 words so it’s not like i am that behind.
@6 months ago with 2 notesSo 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 notesWell… it’s 9 at night… best be starting that nanowrimo…
I have decided that at the end of this month my short story will be pristine from thorough revisions and submitted. That’s my camp nano goal. Not as crazy as a novel in 30 days, but I need to set goals that will further my writing aspirations.
Also I need to do some blind research for my novel. (I say “blind” not meaning actual research on being blind, but researching something that doesn’t have that much info on it… so I’m going into this blind…) I would like that stuff outlined before the end of the month.
