I have 33,006 words written as of today. I feel like I’m at the end of a marathon that I’ve been sprinting through and I didn’t save any energy for the end. I’ll finish but this is the struggle.

Beta Readers!
Hey Guys! So I’m going to a conference at the end of January. There will be agents there to pitch to by appointment. This obviously means I need to finish my manuscript. I’m curious if anyone would be willing to Beta read for me. I’d be looking for four basic observations: moments when it isContinue reading “Beta Readers!”
NaNo Update
I ended writing at 24,004 words. It feels so successful! This is the point in the project where I become convinced that it’s not an interesting story and switch to a different project or something along those lines, but this time I have a deadline. Things I didn’t plan for are happening and things I thoughtContinue reading “NaNo Update”
NaNoWriMo Update
The novel is coming along great. I’m all done with the first act and almost done with the second act. I’m not writing linear, but I’m not jumping around that much.

I’m finding it to be useful in story development as well as word count. I also don’t pauseContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Update”
NaNoWriMo Update
Last night I ended at 9057 words. I feel so excited. As someone who has never paid attention to word count before, this is a great learning experience. I’m not writing linearly, which is not super common for me, but the story is coming together. Making 50,000 words by the 30th of November, seems veryContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Update”
NaNoWriMo Update
I finished yesterday at 5086 words. I wrote about 300 words this morning before work. I’ve been sick, so I’m hoping to have energy to write on my lunch. But I might end up taking a nap. I know there are some haters out there for NaNoWriMo, but I’m really enjoying this. I love whatContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Update “
