NaNoing again

Posted in Nanowrimo, People, Sad on November 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Surely it can’t be November 1st already? And yet somehow, it is… how crazy. I have started my novel with only a slight notion of what it is about. But – I’ve started, and that’s the main thing. 400 and something words typed while the small dude was having his morning porridge
I feel [...]

NaNo-ing busily

Posted in Internet, Nanowrimo, Site stuff on November 6, 2007 | 2 Comments »

I’m plugging away at my NaNoWriMo novel, it started off really easy but I’m slowing quite a lot now. I’m wondering if I was so keen to start this year that it made me write like a crazy person and get 6,000 in the first two days. Ah well! I’m at 13,000 words now, which [...]

November wallpapers for fellow novelists…

Posted in Internet, Nanowrimo on October 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I found a great link to some beautiful NaNoWriMo wallpapers today. I used the misty river one last year and was really happy to see it again! Thanks to ShatteredByRain for updating them for 2007.
I still haven’t fully formulated a plot for November, but I’m getting there. It’s starting to form in my mind but [...]

It’s that NaNoWriMo time again…

Well, almost! Starting on the 1st of November really, but I’m already on the forums again. I need to think what to write about this year! I have a few ideas for 2nd characters but no plot or theme as yet. Argh. I’m bound to come up with a plot and structure in a month, [...]

Won NaNoWriMo 2006!

Posted in Happy, Nanowrimo, Writing on November 29, 2006 | 5 Comments »

I can’t actually feel my own bottom, I’ve been sitting on my bed for so long, But I have won NaNoWriMo!
It’s a really nice feeling, particularly bearing in mind the last month or so and how it’s been. Talking of which, I owe this blog a VERY long entry, because I’m getting insanely behind, [...]

Just a general update

Posted in Love, Nanowrimo, Writing on November 8, 2006 | 3 Comments »

I broke the 20,000 mark today on my novel, which feels great! I wrote over 4,000 words today alone, but wasn’t expecting it to be easy. I think that’s because I allowed my characters to take over completely, resulting in a (second) massive fire and then a rather sweet scene where my MC gets to [...]

Mess (or lack of it)

‘Your room looks tidy’ my mum said just now, when she came in. ‘have you tidied up?’
I looked around. ‘Not really – I just haven’t had any time to make mess lately’ I replied.
Hahaha. And oh so true. My word count for NaNoWriMo is looking very respectable though. Which is nice…

Character & Plot Realism

Posted in Internet, Nanowrimo, Silly on October 18, 2006 | 2 Comments »

A classic example of why I love the NaNoWriMo forums – the Character and Plot Realism Q&A one is bursting with fantastic titles like:

If You Have Your Tongue Cut Out, Can You Still Swallow?
I need a fatal disease!
What kind of stunt would kill you AND the horse you were riding?
Is it possible for people not [...]

Dangle dangle, sudden carrot

Posted in Internet, London, Nanowrimo, Writing on October 18, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve found an incentive to complete NaNoWriMo 2006! The idea was mailed to me this morning actually, it’s affordable and yet something I want very much – a Moleskine City notebook.

Lurvely. They do a London Moleskine which is the one I crave, click the image above to have a peek.
