Plaques
So… my plaque for completing the NanoWrimo contest showed up. I think I’m more excited about that, than I am about the Nano shirt! For some wild reason, I assumed that the wood would be just painted and not engraved. But… touching it and smelling the thing. It gave me a feeling I never thought… Continue reading

I Want It All
…and I want it now. Is that too much to ask for? I pressed myself so hard last night until I squeaked. But… I nearly edited 10 chapters in one day. So… Oh, I mean 10 chapters of Navigating the Curve. I’ve already written down notes on continuity issues I’m finding. A downside? I’m going… Continue reading

Same Four Walls
It’s December! I can’t believe it. The month blew by so fast… I’m still in shock over how quick everything went. Maybe NanoWrimo worsened my concept of time? Anyway… On AO3, I have the corrected chapters of C&R up, along with two new chapters of it uploaded. I realized an hour ago that I edited… Continue reading

Juggernaut
So… that stack of chapters to edit? Yeah… I’m already working on one of them. Amusing because just yesterday, I was talking about how I was not going to touch the stories at all. Oh well. I feel pretty good about the edits going in. I have some microwaveable sushi going for it in the… Continue reading

Tears & Thorns
I had a frustrating and horrific nightmarish time in the bathroom. Nothing more on that later. I’m once again a little behind… but that’s moreso due to the size of my lesson. As for my editing… I was hoping to have all five new chapters for NtC up, and I wanted to have all 7… Continue reading

What Sticks Out The Most
Fantastic news! I completed NanoWrimo today with those additions to NtC totaling just a smidgeon over 50,000. I get asked what was won. Here’s what Nano gives you: A chance to buy a t-shirt with the year on it and a chance to buy a placard celebrating your success. You pay for those items… shipping… Continue reading

Need To Know
Unfortunately, just finishing up another bit of medical research. I like to aim for as realistic as I can in my writing, so now I think I have more of a solid idea as to where I am in NtC. But… I’m tired. I’m almost at the word count I was supposed to hit for… Continue reading

Mad World
5156. That is my current world count for today. I plan on attempting to squeeze out at least another 1K before bed. Or maybe I’ll be up late writing… I have no clue. This contest has taken a lot more out of me than I ever expected. I’m extremely sleep deprived… and confused about whether… Continue reading

Far Away
The finish line is closing in. I can feel it. Since I am utterly without sense, I plan on spending tonight and tomorrow working to update NtC. I want to see how close I can push it to the finish line for NanoWrimo. I also realized I could have combined C&R and NtC together to… Continue reading

Water From The Moon
@1:01AM, November 20, 2023 Once again, we’re pulling a near all-nighter. I also just realize that I forgot to take my nerve medication. Doggone it! After this brief snippet, I’ll go do that. I went ahead and plowed through the first chapter of C&R III. I’m uncertain if I’ll keep it as a short or… Continue reading
