NaNoWriMo Take Two

A few years ago, I tried to do NaNoWriMo. And I failed. I definitely did not hit my 50,000-word mark. Instead, I got 23,911 and 61 pages, which really is a decent accomplishment. And being a person who does not like to fail, I decided to try it again - as a total whim.

So, last time, I had a plan. I had ideas for characters and a very brief outline. That made life a smidge easier. This time, I decided to start it a day into the month with absolutely no pre-planning at all. I had a basic idea, but for the most part - I'm flying by the seat of my pants.

I'll be posting on my Twitter what my daily word count is. So far, I've actually caught up to where I should be, and once a week I'll be doing a check in here.

So here's to finishing (or at least getting more words than last time!).

Long TIme No Write

I have been really bad about keeping this blog updated. But, I've been even worse at making sure I'm quick writing along with you guys. And, what I've done has mostly been ranting, which while it is good for my stress levels, I don't necessarily want to post it online for public consumption. However, I need to make sure that I'm writing more. I shouldn't expect you guys to write when I'm not following the same practice. So while I may not post everyday, I do want to post at least once a week and make sure I write when you guys are. I want you guys to keep me honest, so feel free to harass me if you don't see anything up. I'll post the links on Twitter, so you can easily see if I'm keeping up my part of the bargain.
