NaNoWriMo 2012 I didn’t make an update about NaNoWriMo when it first started on November 1st. When I participated in Camp NaNoWriMo for June and August, I lacked willpower and interest to really sit down and write. So those two months were a major ‘miss’. I figured I’d participate in NNWM this year but to […]
Fantasy Gathering A dash of wizardry and dragons
So what’s been going on?
I finished the August session of Camp NaNoWriMo with 10,527 words. A lot more than the June session. I think I may have burnt out on trying to do so many NNWM sessions. I have read six books: JK Rowling: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Harry […]
Camp NaNoWriMo – August session
Tomorrow starts the first day of the August session of Camp NNWM. I plan to participate but I wouldn’t be surprised if I fart out pretty quickly too. I guess the heat and humidity makes it difficult to buckle down and there’s also that lingering cough since June too. Ugh. hehe. So less than nine […]
NNWM June ends / Harry Potter Books 1 to 4
“How did you do on NaNoWriMo?” Me: NaNo? Oh, um… I quit after a thousand words or so. It’s true. I could not get myself to focus at all whatsoever on writing a novel through June. It was the first time that had ever happened to me. I don’t even know if I’ll participate for […]
So how’s that word count coming along?
So how’s that word count coming along? It isn’t. There’s always a new experience. Always. It’s fun. Isn’t it? I wrote 928 words on the first day and petered out. Day four, I wrote 188 words, bringing my total up to 1,116 words. Haven’t made another effort since. I seem to have zero willpower and […]
Camp NNWM – Day 01
I’ll have to settle on this as a first day word count. 928 words. A far cry from 1,667+ words for first day count. Am I upset or bothered? Nah. I don’t know if it’s because I’m coming down from November’s session or something but deep inside me, a voice keeps telling me to just […]
Bugs in the Camp NNWM Cabins!
A bit of silliness going on is all! We were assigned to cabins yesterday. Something went wrong so they re-assigned us this morning. Then something went wrong again and they re-assigned us for the third time. NNWM has tweeted that this go is for real this time. The first cabin, I was in with a […]
Camp NaNoWriMo 2012
So it’s that time again. Camp NaNoWriMo is coming up. Instead of running July and August like last year, it’ll be running June and August. I guess a month break in between since it was crazy when they suddenly went from July to August and a lot of people struggled with trying to confirm their […]
Pottermore.com Opens…
I’ve read all the Harry Potter books and have seen all the movies. So naturally I was curious as to what Pottermore.com would be like. I missed out on the whole “sign up early and be one of the early beta testers”. I found out that the site opened earlier today (or technically yesterday) and […]
