Last Minute Preparations

NaNoWriMo - 11 hours and counting… (CST)
Software Review at bottom of post.
First, Happy Halloween! Hope those that celebrate have a fabulous time tonight trick or treating with the kiddos. This is not one of my more favorite holidays, so instead of sitting here and dreading the night, I have been keeping myself busy. Which brings [...]

It’s About to Get Crazy Around Here

NaNoWriMo - 1 day and counting…
There is one day left until NaNoWriMo’s big kick-off. In fact, tomorrow I am sure I will not find much time to blog or keep up with Freelance Writer’s Exchange. I am sure that my posts will be much shorter for about a month, though I do have some longer [...]

Fall Y’all Bloggy Giveaway

NaNoWriMo - Still 3 days and counting…

Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer is doing it again! Do you remember the Dog Days of Summer Giveaway with over 500 giveaways?!?! It was amazing and quite successful! But now it is time for the fall version of the great giveaway!!! Shannon is hosting this carnival on [...]

Mad Click Monday 10/29/07

NaNoWriMo - Still 3 days and counting…

I participate in Mad Click Monday on my other blog, but have yet to implement it over here. I decided I wanted to add it to this blog, because I have a different set of readers and I am hoping to spread the word. Plus I absolutely love reading [...]

Getting Prepared

NaNoWriMo - 3 days and counting…
Did you see that? Only three days left until the craziest, busiest month of the year. National Novel Writing Month has taken the Internet by storm, and I actually think this might be the most people who have ever planned to participate. But I will let Chris do the final [...]

Writing vs. Blogging

NaNoWriMo - 10 days and counting…
There seems to be a common myth lately, when it comes to people who write, and actual ‘freelance writing’. In fact, it seems that people who blog, might just be under the false impression, that they too are considered freelance writers. While this might be true in a non-technical sense, [...]

Go For a Test Run

NaNoWriMo - 11 days and counting…
This morning I decided to do a little test to see how long it would take to get 1,500 words. I decided to get started on a series of books I have wanted to write for awhile. They are geared for children my daughter’s age - between 8-10yrs old. The [...]

Delicious Halloween Treats

NaNoWriMo - 12 days and counting…
Hey, I know I don’t normally post anything not related to writing on this blog, but I thought I would share a few fun Halloween things we did last year and then a few we found this year.
Ever year since I was a child, there were three things we did [...]

Did I Write That?

NaNoWriMo - Still 13 days and counting…
As an avid writer, I tend to do several pieces of writing on a daily basis. When I am not doing my article writing, I am working on one of several various stories, essays, character sketches, plot or storyline scenes, free writing or even creative writing using creative writing [...]

And The Plot Thickens…

NaNoWriMo - 13 days and counting…
I am forced to admit that I am hardly prepared for NaNoWriMo which takes place in exactly 13 days! Except that if I am really honest, perhaps I am overly prepared.
I have at least a half dozen plot or storyline ideas going through my head, circling, swirling and generally beginning [...]
