I’m hoping I haven’t burnt out early but I’ve missed two full days of writing now because I’ve been feeling a little under the weather, both physically and mentally. >.< I managed to crank out that previous post though, which I am so totally adding to the word count tyvm. I think from here on [...]

I’ve been sat at this computer for the best part of an hour and so far, my word count for the day is a big, fat zero. I have no idea what’s happened but I have suddenly lost all motivation and it’s only the third day! I think I may have to browse the forums [...]

Before she even got to the bottom of the staircase she could smell something wonderful, but slightly out of place. Unless the knock on her head was slightly harder than any of them anticipated, that was the wonderful aroma of freshly baked cookies. She followed her nose, so to speak, and managed to make her [...]

Haven’t written anything I’m too pleased about, to be honest. It’s boring character development stuff so I can get to know them a little better. So, let’s have ourselves a roll call, shall we (the cliffnotes version as I’m kind of written-out… does that even make sense?)? Earley Croft: human, 23 years old. Somewhat quiet [...]

Writing with no prep is a bit daunting… and it’s making me churn out quite a bit of shite, if I’m honest. Still, it’s actually really fun to just write and see what happens. So far I have 2280 words done! It’s terrible though so I don’t really want to post much of it yet… [...]

So ignore what I said about knowing how I’m going to start. I really can’t make up my mind now, so I might end up taking one of the cop out routes and starting with a flashback / nightmare. The problem with what I’d already though of was that nothing happened and it was really [...]

Alright, I think I have the start of the story worked out. Basically I have a main character whose life I’m throwing in the shitter immediately. XD I’m so sorry Riley bb, it’ll get better I promise! Tomorrow I’m going to try and get a blurb written and then at midnight I’ll start. Gosh, I [...]

So remember how I said that I was going to be all super prepared for nanowrimo so that it doesn’t jump out at me when I least expect it? And how I was going to do these awesome writing challenges in order to help me get into the habit of writing on a daily basis? [...]

Last year was my first attempt at NaNoWriMo so I honestly had no idea what to really expect nor did I know how best to prepare, although I’d read numerous handy blog posts with awesome suggestions. I guess that sort of contributed to my eventual dislike of the end product although I did pass the [...]

So I’m a dumbass. I know how hard that is to believe but it’s true, for many reasons. This particular case, however, is connected to this here blog. This blog was actually all nice and finished and had plenty of posts from last year’s nanowrimo, but then after it was all over my brain decided [...]
