Moving Along

2008-11-19T04:14:13Z

I'm at 27K words, and moving along. I don't really know if it's any good, and I'm actually facing a rather bad moment because maybe I can't write... Let's hope this is PMS talking. Stay tuned.

Day Two (early)

2008-11-02T15:56:34Z

Ok, I know I'm fully involved in this novel for a couple of reasons: 1. I am irritated and annoyed with how I'm not making a lot of visible progress. It's like the water behind the dam is building up. I'm doing research and finding all sorts of co...

Word Count, Day One

2008-11-02T05:36:20Z

I'm at 7,269 for the first day, but since I logged it after midnight, it's showing up on NaNo as a two-day total. Meh. Don't care. Got everything outlined, have the three characters on separate courses that will quickly come together, and am begi...

QotD: Día de los Muertos

2007-11-01T13:55:22Z

Today begins Día de los Muertos. What are your rituals or occasions when you remember loved ones you have lost? This really bugs me. A lot. Offensively. This is NOT my holiday. I understand, respect and find the day and the traditions fascinat...

Cheerleaders

First

2007-11-01T12:43:54Z

There will be more entries today. This is just the starting gun (for me). We survived Oct. 31, with only 3 lbs of candy. Heh. I downloaded Scrivener, with the 30 day free trial. *YES* should be perfect. And I'm looking for the little synopsis I ...
