  • Nano 2017 Day 9 Report

    I want to punch today in the face.  Day job B did its best to lower my morale before I could even type my words for the day. ( to be clear – this is not due to any of the actual work, or people I interacted with – the day just ended like this…

  • Nano 2017 Day 8 Report

    Woke up to a rainy day. I was ready to take the day off not because I felt lethargic, but because I was still on the writers high from the day before. I didnt get to reward myself with Elder Scrolls Online post writing celebration, so I was thrown off. There was a ‘Zen’ about…

  • Nano 2017 Day 7 Report

    So we are already a week in, and I am catiously optimistic.  I fear being too comfortable with my position as it is the perfect opportunity to loose steam and let procrastination burst through the door. In contrast to yesturdays post ( read it HERE,) where I used the analogy of writing being like water…

  • Nano 2017 Day 6 Report

    In case you missed it, this post was not written or posted yesturday.  Real life got in the way unfortunatley (focused on day jobs.)  I did however find time to write a few hundred words I hate, but they were more  than I started with. So, I am using this as a great time to…

  • Nano 2017 Day 5 Report

    I woke up feeling exactly if not more lethargic than yesterday- but I wrote anyways. Today’s mantra was “if you wait until you are ready, you will never be ready.”  How true that sentiment is.  If we wait until we feel like doing something that thing will never really be done. In a world of…

  • Nano 2017 Day 4 Report

    :: Insert attempt at rationalizing taking a day off:: Yeah. I’m not going to lie. I slacked off a bit. I  *MAY* have woken up and started playing ESO (Elder scrolls online)…. Today my inner demons won. However I will still try to remind myself it is okay to not always be ‘on’. Some days…

  • Nano 2017 Day 3 Report

    This one is going to be short today. While I don’t feel like I completed much, I resolved all plot holes and re arranged plot points for dramatic effect and pacing issues.   The reader shouldn’t feel too beat over the head with death and misery, as I broke it up with some good B…

  • Nano 2017 Day 2 Report

    So it started earlier than usual. That smooth voice in the back of my head, reassuringly told me to “take the day off”. I’m off today from both day job of mine (yes, you read that right… TWO day jobs on top of Nano.) It started only a minute after I opened my eyes this…

  • Nano 2017 Day 1 Report

    Day one was more than super easy for me (it won’t last- trust me…). As I am a Nano Rebel this year, and focusing on chapter revisions vs. word/pagecounts day one was a breeze writing-wise. Thankfully I revised this chapter a long time ago, and only tweaked it here and there. Act one and part…

  • The one word to DELETE from your vocabulary this NaNoWriMo

    This past year I have learned the most important word to Delete from my Vocuabulary. This year as I sit watching Netflix ( Big Mouth- BTW most factual representation of those pre teen years I have seen to date.), there is a slight drizle and chill in the air.  To non-writers or non-aspiring writers ,…
