The weekend was rough, and even into this week. I wrote every day, but some days were 4 words and some were 22 words. That was all I could manage, and I didn’t even open my laptop.

I’m gearing up for a big marathon this weekend! Stick around to hear how things are going.

Keep it up, fellow writers!

Keep it up, fellow writers!

Halfway there! ❤ We can do this! Don’t lose heart. This was not my best day, not in terms of writing, emotions, or anything else. But, here we are. I wrote some words and used some of the crappy parts of my day as challenges my characters are facing. Thanks for reading!

#NaNoWriMo Day 10

I made great progress today! I spent four hours at a write-in and I managed to push to halfway to 50k! I’m excited about my progress, but I know that things are going to slow down now. :/ My personal life is getting busy, so we’ll see what happens! I know that I can make it to 50k before the end of the month, but we’ll see how well I hit my stretch goal.

Keep it up, fellow writers!

#NaNoWriMo Day 7

One week in. How are YOU doing?

I am definitely not as far along as I would like to be to reach my goal. I was hoping to get to about 50k by the 15th, which puts me essentially on track. I have another week to get there, but it’s a very busy week and I’m not even at 25k, which is where I would like to be. So, we’ll see what happens! But I’m determined to get it done!

#NaNoWriMo Day 3

Are you doing NaNoWriMo? I am!

  • Goal: 104,200 words
  • Words today: 4536
  • Total words so far: 6980
  • Words left: 97,220

I had a surprising amount of time to write today as my plans changed. It worked out well. I know where my story is going now! It totally took a different turn, with suspense and intrigue. I am excited to bring this story to life. So even though I spent several hours working on it, I didn’t get as many words as I would have liked because I spent some time outlining what I had already done and noting things I need to go back to. Progress!

Keep it up, fellow writers!

#NaNoWriMo Day 1

Are you doing NaNoWriMo? I am!

  • Goal: 104,200 words
  • Words today: 1758
  • Total words so far: 1758
  • Words left: 102,442

My words were all scraped from my brain at midnight (or, well, just after), meaning I got less than 3 hours of sleep and had to work today. I had hoped for more words this evening, but that is definitely not going to happen.

Tomorrow!

Keep it up, fellow writers!

#NaNoWriMo – And we’re off!

Have you ever done NaNoWriMo? It’s my favorite time of year.

Pumpkins and falling leaves and many, many words!

I am dedicated to updating you daily (I hope) on my progress throughout the month. So, stick with me for a wild ride!

Goal: 104,203 which brings my lifetime November total to 750,000.

The most I’ve ever written in a month is 100,005 words. For reference, my wordiest day was 26,000 words in November, but I wrote 50,000 in 24 hours in July. So hopefully by Thanksgiving, I will have about 50,000 words and then I’ll boost that number the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Thanks for being my faithful readers! I look forward to a fun month!

TMI Tuesday

So here’s the thing… I keep forgetting when it’s Tuesday because my writing group changed. So, a day late, but still here!

1. Do you like tattoos? Do you have any tattoos?

I love Tattoos and I do have one. And I am considering more!

2. How did you pick your online profile name?

My husband and I picked it. He chose the initials J. R. and I decided what they were going to stand for.

3. What’s one saying you try to live by?

You cannot pour from an empty cup.

Without sounding selfish, I have been working really hard for the last few years on making sure that I take care of myself as well as my family.

4. What was the last bad meal you ate? Why was it so awful?

I ate a slightly burned grilled cheese recently. I like my grilled cheese under cooked, as opposed to overcooked. But, it wasn’t that bad. I just can’t think of anything else that’s bad that I ate.

5. When was your last bad sexual encounter? Why was it so awful?

Ooo, this one takes more thought. There have been some less than stellar ones lately, but nothing that was awful. But what made it not so good was that I just didn’t connect emotionally with the person.

Bonus: Tell us something random.

I love random number generators. I have, in fact, used a table and random number generators to choose meals (among many other things), including character characteristics!
