So it’s the final day of November and NaNoWriMo 2011 comes to an end. I crossed the finish line today with 50,452 words. This story worked my last nerve. It was like trying to drag an inconsolable child that often threw temper tantrums or tried to run away, forcing me to chase it down. The […]
Fantasy Gathering A dash of wizardry and dragons
Damodar sunk his sword into your shoulder and…
Yeah, I’m still doing that ‘trick’ where I have the “Dungeons & Dragons” DVD playing so that I can’t slip into the whole ‘tv watching’ bit when I keep stalling out on my writing. With it playing in the background and the remote out of reach, I can’t go channel-surfing. Helps a lot in keeping […]
Missed a day of NNWMing…
I seem to be struggling with something for the past few days. It started with a slight itching in the back of the throat and then went away the next day but it kept coming back in other forms. Now my nose keeps being stuffy and I just want to sleep all the time. Yesterday […]
Getting late in the night…
It’s sort of odd to sit here in the middle of the night when everything has crawled to a complete stop. I have no idea what to do. I’m not tired yet I am. Nothing’s on tv despite the fact that I have quite a few shows DVR’d. Everything’s muted or completely off, and I’m […]
Gingerbread Painting
Finally started on the Gingerbread Flower Shop and I expect this one to be a breeze. The other pieces still need a lot of detailing before I can start sealing them up for outdoor use. My writing is going ‘quicker’ as in that it’s not taking me all day long to make it to the […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Wonder
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Wonder The example image they provided for the photo challenge made me think of this sunflower picture that I took back in June. I loved how there was a spiraling pattern and how the edge was golden.
How quickly the tide changes.
I finally made an important decision today concerning my story. I wasn’t going to allow myself to visit this scene until the 15th so that I know that I’m at least halfway through the story. With how I’ve been dragging my feet, hating the story in its entirety, and struggling to make anything else happen, […]
Struggling to get away.
I’m struggling to get away from this monster that’s hassling me for words! Words! He says I owe him words! So bored of this story that I’ve been hammering out for NaNoWriMo. I seriously am. That’s what worries me. There’s no passion going into this story like the passion I had for last year’s story. […]
10,396 words banked thus far…
I think I have a routine down now. I struggled back and forth between painting and writing that I felt like I couldn’t get them both done. Now I have a notebook within arm’s reach so that when I’m painting, I can remind myself of the notes and what scenes I’ve thought up in order […]
Chocolate. Doesn’t stay melted so easily.
Day Five of NaNoWriMo. Word Count: 8,693 It’s still going along slowly. Still scraping the bottom of the barrel to grab the next scenes out of nowhere but still hoping I’ll break down a wall and find some adventure waiting to be told. 😉 My three gingerbread folks are finally sealed and done. Painting the […]
