I’ve noticed a lot of these going around, and I figured it wouldn’t be the world’s worst idea to write one up, a time capsule of sorts so I remember what I’m grateful for now, if not all of these things come around next year. 1. My familyI love my family to death, and this […]

I have come to an important decision regarding my Nano novel. Namely, that when I am finished with the 50,000 words, it is going to be put aside. I actually made this decision a few nights ago, and it’s been a struggle not to stop writing since. After all, there’s revisions on The Recruited to
So, here’s how the two events I was crowing about in my last entry went down. Humans vs. Zombies: I stayed human until–wait for it–Tuesday. Morning. Pretty pathetic, huh? A girl got me as I was on my way to my first class, when I was looking for people on my other side. On the

Friday! And more rewrites! Read More »
So, much to my own shock and surprise, I’ve already rewritten chapter one of The Recruited, which is the first novel in my Nowhere to Hide trilogy. It literally got done on top of my character journal entries last Friday night/Saturday morning. I think I wrote over seven thousand words on Friday, which resulted in

Since the start of this school year, I have been doing an independent study project with a T.A. and member of a graduate writing program to workshop last year’s Nano novel in the hope of making it ready for publication. (Just thought I’d like to mention that, unlike many Nano participants, I did outline this

The new Nanowrimo website is up and running! I suppose I don’t need to elaborate upon how excited this makes me. I may decide to update my information tonight, just to avoid putting off doing homework. (Who am I kidding, I’d be updating because it’s fun!) I have an outline for this year’s story, minor
