I started doing NaNoWriMo in 2012 and to date, it is the only year I have ever won it. Last year I think I got a little over 10k with some short stories and the year before that was even worse with me trying to continue with an existing novel. I hadn't intended to … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2015 Update #1

Fiction Friday: Riddle Me This
While I have been keeping on track with my writing so far this year (two days in, woohoo!), the parts I have been writing have not been very interesting or well written so I won't be sharing any of that. Over the Christmas period, I exchanged what I had so far with some friends and … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Riddle Me This
WIPMarathon (Dec-Jan) Check-In #1
Last check-in word count + chapter count: I started WIPMarathon with 75,325 and on Chapter 13 (I know, I have incredibly long chapters, it's something I'll figure out in edits). Current WC + CC: I'm currently at 77,467 so only managed 2,142 words so far this week. I have managed to finish Chapter 13 now though which I have … Continue reading WIPMarathon (Dec-Jan) Check-In #1
WIPMarathon Intro (December-January Edition)
OK, so NaNoWriMo did not go so well for me this year but I had so much fun doing WIPMarathon in August that I'm giving it another go! I look forward to reading everyone's progress. Marathon Goal: My ultimate goal is to finish the first draft of The Remnant Keepers. But, seeing as that is such … Continue reading WIPMarathon Intro (December-January Edition)
Another idea!?
And right before Nano too, how inconvenient! As much as I want to tackle it straight away, I am determined to finish my current project by the end of the year (hopefully during Nano). But I figured there was no harm with sharing the cover I made and a vague synopsis of the plot... … Continue reading Another idea!?
WIPMarathon Check-In #4
The last check in! I came to the Marathon a bit late because I had exhausted myself for CampNano and couldn't bring myself to do another deadline/goal writing month. But I eventually got talked into it and have really enjoyed it. I just got my 15k word count which I am pretty happy with and … Continue reading WIPMarathon Check-In #4
WIPMarathon Check-In #3
Read more about the WIPMarathon here. Other Check-In posts can be found here. Last Word Count: 7810 Current Word Count: 11202 (57k overall) WIP Issues this week: Oh the meandering. I'm at that point where I really don't feel like I'm advancing anywhere. I'm just letting my characters have a chat and getting to know their backstory … Continue reading WIPMarathon Check-In #3
WIPMarathon Check-In #2
Last Word Count: 4k-ish. Current Word Count: 7,810 (54k altogether). WIP Issues this week: I have had to set up my Y-File for this project. The document where I catalogue all the issues I have noticed cropping up as I write. There are many bullet points there already which is a bit demotivating but I … Continue reading WIPMarathon Check-In #2
WIPMarathon Check-In #1
Current Word Count: I actually completely failed and keeping count but, on reflection, it seems to be around the 4k mark. WIP Issues this week: The curse of the never ending chapter. Seriously, it just felt like it was going on forever and had no end in sight. When it gets like that, I start … Continue reading WIPMarathon Check-In #1
WIPMarathon Introduction
OK, so my friend Laura is taking part in this WIPMarathon and has persuaded me to join in as she knows what a procrastinator I am and that I work better when there's some pressure involved at meeting a goal/deadline. I'm a little late to the game but hopefully that won't matter too much! Marathon … Continue reading WIPMarathon Introduction
