Closing in on the end (of NaNoWriMo)

I knocked down another chapter today, for 2547 words. I might have gone for more, but I wanted to give my hands a chance to rest. I suspect that the aches of Saturday, and feeling fatigued earlier in the week, were less exhaustion from writing than they were my fighting off a low-grade flu. Had […]

Logistics will slow you down…

I did manage to grind one chapter out today for 2602 words. I could have hit another one save for two reasons. First, I had to work out the last section of the book, both in terms of plotting and then logistics. Plotting was pretty easy. Going into the end of the book I have […]

Big shift Monday

I managed to get a bunch of stuff done on Monday, including two chapters for a total of 5092 words. In between them I made my Thanksgiving food run and managed to score a present for my 3.75 year old niece. I was kind. It doesn’t make a lot of noise, and should give her […]
