I started off November kicking butt. I had a really strong first week and a half on NaNo before real life set in, as it always does. I have continued to kick butt on all the lecture writing, to the point that I’m down to one lecture (which I hope to be finishing this afternoon). […]
Well October’s Novel Push Initiative has officially CLOSED. The numbers were truly impressive with a total collective word count of 177,266! That’s two full length novels in 30 days! I think we all did a good job establishing better, more consistent writing habits over the course of October. Of the lot of us, the […]
November 1st is on the horizon. I have my plan. The ultimate goal for this coming month that will help to save my sanity over Christmas break and the following the semester. I’m going to finish those lectures and the novella. And maybe do some work on the Draft 2 outline for HiS. I’m not […]

I just finished participating in a Novel Push Initiative being hosted by Merrilee Faber at Not Enough Words. For 3 weeks, I wrote every day, even on the weekends when I usually don’t. My final word count was 13,746, which is not shabby for 21 days of writing. I had a couple of marathon days […]
