Yes, it is. And that means it it NaNoWriMo time. That's National Novel Writing Month for those who are unaware. I am doing NaNo this year, which means I am spending most of my time writing. Reviews may be a bit spotty this month, since trying to get 50K words in 30 days does end … Continue reading Friday Review: It’s November!
Sorry about the lack of post yesterday. I am still trying to shake this cold/bronchitis thing and Sunday was not a good night. I came down yesterday morning, got a cup of coffee, and fell back to sleep on the sofa. Woke up to cold coffee and a late morning hour. So, I spent most … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: A Day Late
The BaldMan spent a good portion of Sunday installing the Sonos Connect and hooking up the Advent speakers in my office. Now I can listen to music (or whatever) without the constant hisssssss hisssss from the stupid speakers I had hooked up to the computer. Iz nice! It's October already? Geez, where did September go? … Continue reading Monday Musings: I Can Haz Good Sound!
National Novel Writing Month is just about finished. We are heading into the backstretch and through the turn to the home stretch and finish line. I hope you are on track for where you want to be, whatever that is. This time around, I have been doing quite well and will probably hit my 50K … Continue reading Monday Musings: So, I Wrote Fifty Thousand Words. Now, What?
This week, I am going to outline my method for getting NaNoWriMo done. If you are not familiar, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is when writers from all over the world attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in thirty days. I've done this every year, except one, since 2008, and hit that 50K each … Continue reading How Do You NaNo? This Is How I Do It
We are at the start of National Novel Writing Month-or NaNoWriMo to us, that gloriously weird month in which a lot of people set out to write 50,000 words of a novel in 30 days, from November 1 to November 30. (If you want to know more, here is the link: NaNoWriMo) I am going … Continue reading Monday Musings: Planning a New Project (How I Do It)
It is Labor Day Weekend, so I took yesterday off from blogging. I hope those of you who got to enjoy the long weekend had a good one. To those who had to work, my thanks for being there so the rest of us can relax and enjoy. This weekend is the traditional end-of-summer weekend. … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: Summer Wind-Down, Garden Fail, Weekend Food, Writing Updates, and There’s Nothing Good On TV Now
We managed to get a lot of stuff done outside yesterday. It was not a bad day, and the rest of the week looks pretty good, also. The BaldMan mowed the lawn for the last time on Saturday, and took the mower deck off the tractor. Yesterday, we put the chains on the tires and … Continue reading Monday Musings: Outdoor Work, and NaNoWriMo
November has started, and that means a lot of things. Halloween is over, we are off Daylight Savings Time, Thanksgiving is on the way, and Christmas is careening around the corner. But that's the small stuff. For many of us out there, November 1 means the start of National Novel Writing Month, that lovely insanity … Continue reading Monday Musings: NaNoWriMo, Here I Come!
A few years back, I wrote a story. Okay, that's not all that unusual, as I have been writing stories for as long as I can remember. And I guess it was a bit more than a "few years," since I found a copy in my files dated 1998. It was a long short story- … Continue reading Monday Musings: Reaching The End, and Feeling a Bit Lost
And So On...
