For those of you in America enjoy the overeating and too much time with your family.
And for you guys who are doing NaNoWriMo, down your food as fast as you can, kiss all your relatives then lock yourself in a room to write.
A Late NaNoWriMo Update Tuesday, Nov 25 2008
NaNoWriMo Update bubble wrap, Chris Baty, John Steinbeck, NaNoWriMo, NaNoWriMo Update, NaNoWriMo username 10:04 pm
I have been writing. I haven’t hit the 40,000 word threshold yet, but I am taking Chris Baty’s challenge to write 45,000 words by Friday.
Anyways, I added a link to the Fun Stuff page (trust me, it is one you want to check out). I have a ton of links I need to sort through but that can wait until December.
I will be adding a letter that I found from John Steinbeck later this week, so be prepared.
Anybody else as behind as I am this week? Well we need to support each other through to the end, so leave a comment with your NaNo username and I will try to send you (and vice versa I hope) some words of encouragement.
We will finish.
Updates? In The Middle of NaNoWriMo? Friday, Nov 21 2008
Blogtastic 911 Writers Block, Aspiring Writer, NaNoWriMo, update 1:25 pm
Heck yes! I added a link to the Fun Stuff Page and one to the Aspiring Writer page. They are good ones, so check them out.
Have a Writer’s Block 911? Try this page.
(Not the greatest but a very cute premise. If any of you can create a better version please give me the link.)
As for my writing … well, I am working on it.
NaNoWriMo isn’t Over Yet? Sunday, Nov 16 2008
NaNoWriMo Update canyon, NaNoWriMo, NaNoWriMo Update, pot hole, trial, word count 5:56 pm
No its not. I was going strong catching up with my word count when I was involved in a head on noveling collision. The story I am writing ended up having a trial: I know nothing about trials! I am struggling to keep going. This is such an important moment in my novel, I can’t just cut it. And I can’t skip over it because I have no idea what is supposed to happen next.
So I am still behind, but the huge canyon I had dug myself into is now only a pot hole. So a few more difficult days and I will be caught up. Thank goodness the trial I am writing is so huge, because all of my missing words will be found there.
So that’s what’s up. Anyone else have a similar issue to mine? Any advice?
PS – I added a link to the Serendipity: Plot Twist Generator on the Aspiring Writer page.

NaNoWriMo Update Monday, NaNoWriMo, Tuesday, update 12:48 am
Week one is over with and I am pretty proud of myself. Sure I’m a few days behind, but I have dug myself out of the hole with a writing schedule. I predict I will be caught up by Monday or Tuesday depending on how tired/ busy I am.
Anyways, that’s what’s happening with me. I wanna hear from you guys, how have you been doing week one of NaNoWriMo?
