NaNoWriMo 2021 Day 1
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…
NaNoWriMo Prep Day 1
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…
NaNoWriMo Prep Day Zero
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…
NaNoWriMo 2021
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…
NaNoWriMo comes to an end once more
Congratulations to all of my fellow NaNoWriMoErs who hit their target this year. Commiserations if you didn’t reach your target, but don’t worry. I failed for far too many years…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – day 29 (oops, I did it again!)
Well, I made it. Despite taking several days off, including an unplanned additional 6 days sick, I reached the finish line once again with a total of 50,270 words. I…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – intermission: days 22 – 28
We had a very busy weekend with Monkey Dust playing both Friday and Saturday evenings. Two very late nights on the trot automatically mean two very late lie-ins the next…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – days 20 & 21
I didn’t mean to take another day off. But yesterday I did a new assignment and by the time I got home something else happened to distract me from my…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – days 17, 18 & 19
The weekend just gone was planned time off. I had 2 of my 5 days off together, as I prefer to have days off at the weekend than midweek. Saturday…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – days 15 & 16
Oops-a-daisy! I seem to have had another inadvertent day off. I’m not beating myself up about it, though. I’m currently very busy and next week is looking busier. And anyway,…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – day 14
I’ve not had much time again today, as I’ve been pitching for some new and different jobs as well as continuing with the existing work I have in. I only…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – day 13
I didn’t get around to NaNo until quite late on this afternoon. I’ve been in correspondence with various people, including editing and proofreading clients as well as the publisher of…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – days 9, 10, 11 & 12
I hit my weekly target by the end of Thursday evening. I’d planned to take Sunday off, but as things transpired, I had 3 days off! But as I’d hit…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – day 8
So now I’m thinking, if I can do this in November for NaNoWriMo, why can’t I do it the rest of the year as well? My daily target is 2,000…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – day 7
I was quite tired yesterday following the shenanigans of the previous evening, but by 5pm I’d completed my day’s work quota. I’d added more than 3,000 words and I reached…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – day 6
It was a long day yesterday. We visited Mom last night – she was great and in fine form – and we were set to be home at a fairly…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – day 5
We were going to visit my mom on Saturday and then stop off at Sherwood Forest, or similar, on the way back as it was going to be such a…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – days 3 & 4
The plan always was to work yesterday, and take today off as my first day off. Then the plan changed because the weather was supposed to be nicest yesterday. We…
NaNoWriMo 2018 – day 2
Day 2 and I’m still planning a bit while writing a bit, although my word-count did go up quite considerably this morning. NaNoWriMo is my first “job” of the day….
NaNoWriMo 2018 begins
And so it begins again … I was a little late to the party this year. For the past few years I’ve been ready to go by the end of…
NaNoWriMo 2017 – so how was it for you?
For the third year running, I tackled NaNoWriMo, making it a priority instead of an also-ran. For the third year running, I tackled it using Scrivener. For the third year…
