Oh wow, it's the last day of the year/decade. I guess I should talk about how NaNo went and about all the stuff that happened in December before I jump into the year's end wrap up and all that. November For those of you who missed my last two posts about NaNo, I recommend going... Continue Reading →
How I’m Surviving NaNo2019
As I mentioned last post, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I was hesitant about doing NaNo again, cuz I find it to be a pretty hit or miss experience for me. Some years it's great for knocking out a rough draft and getting a story that's been in my head for a while down... Continue Reading →
Update and NaNo 2019
Hello. After the awesomeness of my September Writing Challenge, October was a bit more chill on the writing side of things.

Goals and Accountability
It's been a while since my last accountability post and since it's the start of a new month and I happen to enjoy writing such posts, I might as well start August out right. Now, just because I haven't been posting about my goals, doesn't mean I haven't been setting them. In fact, at the... Continue Reading →
Word Press Anniversary
Apparently, today is my sixth anniversary as a WordPress user, which seems as good an excuse as any to finally break out of my virtual hermitage and write an update post. So, where have I been? What have I been up to? How am I doing? All good questions. I even have answers to them.... Continue Reading →
The Have Done List
Like many people, I function as a result of my many to-do lists. I have one for each of my writing projects, one for household management, a create a new list everyday, and I frequently have a bigger picture list running for the week or month. But even though these lists help me remember to... Continue Reading →
December Postmortem
I set myself some difficult goals for December (difficult for me, at least, being the super introvert that I am). Let's see how that all went down, shall we? How'd I Do? Not great, at a summary, but let's break it down, shall we. 1.) Banjo. I haven't done as well with my banjo as... Continue Reading →
