1 December 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day… can’t remember…

26 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

Day 25, I think. And I can’t say Days 19 – 25, because I only seem to have done something yesterday, which was Day 25. So I’ll just claim that one. On Wednesday I submitted the final part of Ghostwriting

23 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

On Thursday evening I received a message via the contact form. It was from QueryLetter.com and it was to let me know that they’d given me an award. I receive a lot of spam via the contact form, so the

19 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

It’s been a whole week since I updated everyone on my NaNoWriMo progress. This is mostly because I took some time off. I took two days to catch up with and clear a ghostwriting instalment, and then I took two

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 11

12 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

By the time Day 11 arrived, I was more than a thousand words over where I should be if I’d done 1,667 words every day, and that was before I even did Day 11. Before then, though, there was gig

11 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

After struggling to get up for several days on the trot, I was finally at my desk by 10am yesterday, with all social media stuff done. I started the next book on my reading list for November, having finished the

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 9

10 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

Day 9 of NaNoWriMo was another day I went off down a rabbit hole. I’ve been trying to organise my reading, and so this time I was looking for a spreadsheet that collected stats and created nice, pretty charts without

9 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo, writer at work

This post was going to be a ‘weekend off’ post and it was going to post yesterday. Then I remembered that I also had a publication day post for yesterday, so the weekend off post was added to the NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 4

5 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

I had a late start for Day 4 of NaNo. A VERY late start. And I also had a lot of work to do. However, I still wanted to do my NaNo bit for the day and while it wasn’t

I’m in the exciting first few stages of writing and am already at almost 8,000 words after only three days. I hope I can keep the momentum and the rhythm going. I wrote 2,515 words on Day 3. 7,795/50,000 words.

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 2

3 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

I’ve been using my own 10-project planner for over a year and it really works. But it’s also really basic as well as being really high maintenance. While I was looking for a word-count progress meter (see below and in

NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 1

2 November 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

Day 1 of this year’s NaNoWriMo was actually yesterday, and today is Day 2. However, I’m a day behind on the blog posts as they’re usually a round-up of the day before (or days before if other posts have sneaked

22 October 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

I had a late start on Thursday due to working very late into Wednesday night. I finished one of the ghostwriting gigs, though, and by the time I got up on Thursday, payment had been approved and the contract for

NaNoWriMo Prep Day Zero

21 October 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

Prep Day Zero is actually all of the prep work for the prep work. For me, it’s reminding myself of the steps that work when I outline a project, and this week I’ve created tasks in my Asana project file.

NaNoWriMo 2021

15 October 2021 Diane NaNoWriMo

Yup, looks like I’ve signed up to do NaNo again this year. If there’s one thing walking to work and back every day does, it gives you time to think things through. I’m very busy doing a lot of work.
