brb going camping.

Stop. Mocking. Me. Okay, so I’m not really going camping. That would be silly. We all know Hildred doesn’t go outside without whining a whole lot about it. Besides, camping sucks. There’s like…bugs. And no electricity. And it’s during those grossly hot months.  And you’re expected to squat and pee. NO THANK YOU.  Instead I’ll…

Wow, it’s been about two weeks since I last updated this.  Normally, especially during nano season, I’m right on top of things, but this year alone has done a huge toll on me mentally and emotionally, to the point that even writing is unable to give me an outlet to my more destructive tendencies. But…

Yesterday I got my Nano stuff in the mail. Most of it was gifted to me, so I only had to pay for the posters. I like the one poster, it’s made of great quality, is really colorful, and has all the goals for each day on it. The other poster is a standard Night…

Well, ten days in (I haven’t written today yet) and here are the current numbers:Total Words Written in October: 13,307Average Words Per Day: 1,331Behind By: 3,363 Not too bad when I finally look at the numbers like that. My original goal was to write the standard 1667 a day, but I switched that up to…

After recently declaring that I intended on finishing the manuscript for CROSS//Rebirth by November so I could purely work on the next installment and get its first 50k words in for NaNoWriMo…I’m kinda failing already.  Well, not totally. So far for October I’ve written 3322 words, but that still leaves me behind and blahblahblah.  At…

Feel the writin’ burn. Well, it’s time. National Novel Writing Month 2010 season is here! Just to get things out of the way, if you would like to add me as a writing buddy, here is my profile! This year is a bit different for me. Not only do I plan on working on a…

Nanowrimo is drawing to a close and I’ve got about 3k left to go. Not too much to worry about, especially with a relatively empty night before me. However, it is a bit daunting to see so many of my nano buddies crossing the line now…of course I would like to blame getting sick TWICE…

Hey kids, guess what…only one more week before NaNoWriMo ’09 begins! Now I’m not exactly the most…level person when it comes to NaNoWriMo. In fact, I unsympathetically joined the ranks of the rebels long ago when I first started participating in NaNoWriMo in 2007. The rules stipulate something about starting a story from scratch or…

“I saw it in a dream.”

September 15, 2009

| Categories: CROSS//, Dreams, General, NaNoWriMo, Writing

So it’s no secret that I have crazy, wild, and totally inappropriate dreams. These dreams in themselves are amazing story fodder: I know, when I was in fifth grade I wrote a compilation of all the interesting dreams I had up until that time. I even had sex dreams starting back when I was eleven…
