Nano Number: 10,215

Yes, I can do the basic math and reaching 50K words in a mere 18 days seems a bit hopeful, given my stellar pace.

I’ve gone and taken a big big swallow of my own big-headed advice to all you writing mommies and non-mommies out there.  I’ve signed myself up for Nanowrimo which begins on Thursday. 
As I’ll be writing myself silly for November, I’m going to scale back on this blog and let the Mail It Monday and Write [...]

Nanowrimo…3 day countdown!

Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) is almost here!  If you’re participating this year, I’d love to hear about it.  Of course, if you are a mommy and participating this year, I’m sure you’ll barely have time to sleep or eat, must less blogsurf.
I’m toying with the idea of jumping in this year, just to give [...]

Nanowrimo….do what in 30 days??

This is a quick post, just to remind you writing mommies out there that once again, Nanowrimo is approaching!
If you’ve never stumbled across Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month), the idea is this: write like hell from November 1 through November 30 with the goal of producing a 175 page novel.  It’s about letting go of the idea [...]
