So...I've been doing a lot of thinking this month. Both about the book I'm writing this year and my past experiences with NaNo, and I have come to the logical conclusion that NaNoWriMo isn't for me. Here are the four reasons why. 1. Inability To Process I am an introspective person. I think...a lot. It's … Continue reading Reasons Why I’m Quitting NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo 2018 Update: Day 8
We are a little over a week into NaNo. My writing has been going...okay. It isn't as good as previous NaNoWriMo's have been, but it also isn't horrible. I'm behind, but not too far behind. Here are my daily updates since Day 3. Day 4: Chapter 2 - 0 words Day 5: Chapter 2 - … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018 Update: Day 8
NaNoWriMo Book Tag
In the spirit of NaNoWriMo (since it is the beginning of November), I thought I would do a book tag revolving around the theme of National Novel Writing Month. And I found one posted a couple years ago on Youtube by Kristina Horner. 1. How many times have you done NaNoWriMo? Technically, two. I'm not … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Book Tag
NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 4 Update
We are four days into NaNoWriMo. Gosh, this month I seem to be so undisciplined when it comes to writing. I'll write a lot one day, and just skip writing the next day. I'm also not calculating how many words I should be writing each day. Math and me just do not care for each … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 4 Update
NaNoWriMo, 2018: Day 1 (Thank you, readers!)
NaNoWriMo is starting! I'm super excited but mostly terrified. Thank you for everyone who voted yesterday in my poll. I was honestly surprised how many people voted for #2, Peppermint Poison with a Pinch of Paris (it finished with about 53% of the vote). It was definitely one I did not think many would choose. In … Continue reading NaNoWriMo, 2018: Day 1 (Thank you, readers!)
Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 27 (I Completed the Challenge!)
I'm done! I've completed my word count. At the end, I really started struggling with my book. I'll probably go back and do some rewrites. But I'm done! I can breath a sigh of relief finally! Daily Summary Words written today: 1,646 Total words written: 51,292/50,000 (I did it!) Goal words needed: 43,551/50,000 Difference: 7,741 … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 27 (I Completed the Challenge!)
Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 26
I may or may not have gone to Barnes & Nobles today and bought way too many books...I will not confirm or deny. Basically, I was busy this morning and didn't get writing done until the afternoon. Again, I feel very irresponsible. I barely managed to get the minimum wordcount done, though I'm still writing … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 26
Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 25
Today was crazy. I took a trip with my family to the Mall of America in Minnesota, which took up all the morning and part of the afternoon. So I didn't even have a chance to start writing until just a few hours before this post has to go up. My point is that I … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 25
Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 24
I'm so close to being done, I can almost feel it! Since I'm going to have two days at the end of the month where I'll be doing BookTubeAThon, I'm hoping to finish my writing by the 30th so the two challenges do not overlap. It'll make doing two challenges not as crazy. And, if … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 24
Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 23
Happy Monday! I hope all my lovely readers had a great Monday. Most people hate Mondays, but I was always the weirdo who looked forward to it, whether I had school or work or nothing at all. In a sense, for me it was always the start of something new. Anyway, writing. I started out … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 23
