Happy Tuesday, gentle readers! Today I'm just checking in to wave hello and let you know what I've been up to. On the yarncraft front, I of course finished my gnome(s) of the month. This month's pattern was Gnome Pun Intended (Ravelry link). While I have knit this pattern before, the gnomes in question were … Continue reading March Updates
Happy December, folks! So glad to be on the other side of November, in which I managed to complete my 12th novel for National Novel Writing Month. This year has been all kinds of challenging for me on the writing front and Nano was, alas, no exception. More than once in the past twelve years, … Continue reading A Nice, Round Dozen
“Yes, sir, Mr. Kerns. I can get that project started day after Labor Day, no problem. It will be done in plenty of time for your grandkids’ Christmas visit. Uh huh. Yes, that’s fine. Okay. Thanks. I will. You too.”Jacob hung up the phone and made a note on his computer, smiling to himself. The … Continue reading Nano Character Spotlight: Meet Jacob
Winnie sighed as she struggled with her luggage and pulled it off to the side of the terminal, glancing around the train station. What now? The scent of fried food reached her nose and she found its source, a no-name burger stand. She hadn’t eaten since breakfast and it was well past lunch. “Guess that … Continue reading Nano Character Spotlight: Meet Winnie
Nano has well and truly begun! While I'm devoting most of my writing energy to noveling, I thought it would be fun to give you a bit of a peek into the story. I've written pre-story scenes for each of my three main characters, and this month I'll be sharing them with you in the … Continue reading Nano Character Spotlight: Meet Silas
Hoo, boy. Where the heck did October go? I've got three and a half days in between now and November 1. Nano is so close I can taste it! (Or maybe that's the Halloween candy tempting me from the other room?) I am, at this stage, feeling mostly prepared. As prepared as I can get, … Continue reading Cue the Calendar Pages Flying Away
Remember last week when I had a big plan in place for my Nanowrimo story and was all set to get going? Ah, dear reader, the muses are fickle beings. After struggling and struggling to knock out a basic outline--and continually getting a start and middle but getting lost in the weeds before I could … Continue reading State of the Nano
Somehow, someway, tomorrow it is October. Which means that one month from tomorrow the annual month of writing with abandon that is National Novel Writing Month will kick off. Whoo! Whoo? I think for most participants, it really does elicit both reactions. That's certainly the case over here in Coriland, let me tell you. I've … Continue reading Nano Is Coming, Y’all
Howdy, folks! Been a while, huh? I hope you enjoyed reading The Emerald Idol. Now that I've wrapped that up, I want to dive back into more regular posting over here. I'm going to shoot for weekly posts on Thursdays about whatever I've got going on, and then any writing I want to share will … Continue reading What I’m Working On: All the Things
Whew. May at last. April was a busy one, writing-wise. I made really good progress on my ongoing revision project. I'll have more on that for you later this week. I also took an online course from Writing the Other on research skills. It turned out to be sort of disappointing--not because it was a … Continue reading State of the Writing: Camp Nano Postmortem
