Nanowrimo 2012, pt. 2



We’re well almost done with Nanowrimo. How am I doing you might ask? Choose one of the following replies:
                A snort
                A weak or nervous laugh
                “Nano-whose-a-what’s-it?”
                Crying
This is my third attempt and as always I have fallen behind almost beyond recovery. Almost, I say. I had high hopes for making some headway this week during Thanksgiving Break while my family is happily making delicious foods and playing super fun video games or yelling at my dog to stop playing with their dog while I move from room to room to find the perfect quiet and nondistracting spot to catch up. No such luck. BUT, on the bright side, this year I have had more people excited about trying Nanowrimo at the library and a large part of that seemed to be because I gave them the option of choosing their own word goal. On another bright-side, (because there are multiple), after two library events of Nanowrimo and one event of Script Frenzy I feel that I might have material to write a paper. Yay for papers! Wait, what now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, guess I should actually do some real professional-ish type stuff.
But until then, back to my story! With maybe some fun reading on the side.


Stay tuned for a review of Daughter of Smoke and Bone by

NaNoWriMo 2012



Oh my gosh! It’s happening again!

Yeah, that’s write, we turned our heads, looked the other way and when we turned back it was November staring us in the face which means back again is NaNoWriMo! Attempt three for me and attempt two for Brenna. I hope we’re both excited to start this crazy writing-fest with tons of other obligations on our plates. 

 This year at my library I have advertised that participants can choose their own word goal which may have brought a few frowns from past participants but darn-it, I’ll do anything to get my Wrimo’s! And I also don’t think I can make the 50,000 word goal. Instead I’ve made a few goals of my own. I’ll be continuing my fantasy story that I’ve wanted to finish for ages and I’ll be aiming for a word goal of 30,000 which is about 10,000 more than what I usually write.

So batton down the hatches, double-charge that computer and get the ol’ portable hard drive ready – it’s NaNoWrimo time!
