NaNo tomorrow!

EEEEEEK! NaNo starts tomorrow! I feel so unprepared for it this year. I guess that has a lot to do with the fact that I’m still not done with Book 2 (doubt I will be, but I’m gonna work on it all day anyway), I barely have any notes for Book 4 written up (and most of what I do have is crap that’s gonna get tossed), and I still need to go back over my itinerary for the NaNo meeting at the Continue reading →

Paper shuriken

It was fairly slow this afternoon at work, so I decided to get ahead with my NaNoWriMo projects for the write-ins we’ll (I’ll) be hosting at the library. I’ve already decided to have a different writing activity each week, and so far, I’ve got three different writing activities that I want to do. I don’t have any particular order to the activities yet, so I’ll have to work on which one to Continue reading →

Third notebook

I just started the third notebook for Book Two about a half an hour ago. Woohoo! This weekend, I ended up writing about seventy pages. Mind you, the pages are about 5″x7″, but still, seventy pages is nothing to sneeze at (unless you have allergies or a cold). I’m now in the transition period between the middle third of the book and the final third of the book. Since I Continue reading →

A fair amount of writing

I’d say I’ve gotten a fair amount of writing done this weekend. I wrote about eight pages Thursday, nineteen Friday, another ten or eleven yesterday, and so far today I’ve written about five and the day’s still young. Another twenty-five pages and I’ll fill up the notebook I’m currently working in and will have to start another. Yippee! I’m taking a brief break from the book right Continue reading →

Book 2 update

Well, I thought I’d take a break from reading comics to get back to the novel for a while before Rook pops up later tonight. I have to say that while I haven’t gotten as much written so far these past couple days as I’d’ve liked, I’ve still gotten a fair amount written. Yesterday I wrote six and a half pages, and so far today, I’ve written eight. I’m going to try and finish a few more chapters Continue reading →

I’ve found Simon

Well, technically, I didn’t find Simon; the genealogist at the library found Simon. She found Simon in one of the books in the genealogy room at the Jasper Public Library, listed as Joseph and Mary’s (spelled Maria) infant son. No, I’m not talking about my little brother (who’s hardly little at six feet tall) but Simon Ringwald who came over from Germany in 1843. Neat, huh? I meant to Continue reading →

Vacation starts now!

So I’m taking a (really) short vacation from work this week so that I can make an attempt to focus on Book 2 and try and get more of it written before NaNoWriMo starts up. I figured I’d also take the time to look at my notes for Book 4 since that’s the one I’ll be writing come November. I pulled up the document for it, and I suddenly remembered why I hate titles: I suck Continue reading →

Getting ready for NaNoWriMo

Well, I’m getting pretty excited about NaNoWriMo starting up soon. I’m hosting the write-ins at the Jasper Public Library, and I’ve got the signs up already to get people thinking about it. Our director’s husband may join us; he likes to write a lot and is a hilarious guy to be around, so it’d be cool if he came. I mailed information packets out to all the county high schools, middle Continue reading →

Mobile Rant: 2009-10-09

I attached little “tombstones” to the book stands to make my own cemetery! You can also see my little clay eyeball better too, and the paint job on the door was great.
