Thursday Thirteen #5 - Thirteen Great Writing Prompts (that could take you anywhere)

I don’t normally participate in the Thursday Thirteen over at this blog, though I have in the past a handful of times (read this is my 5th one). But I will if it goes along with whatever topic I am interested in at the moment.
I just put together a rather nice handwritten collection of writing [...]

How Did I Do That?

Praise God. No really. Without Him, I am certain I would not have accomplished this:

I seriously cannot believe I wrote that much in one month. I mean obviously I typically write much more in a month, but not all on one book. That’s all I mean. I could have written more had I not have [...]

Out of Town

Just a quick note to let you all know we will be out of town from today until Sunday. I am hoping to have wireless, but it might not happen.
In the meantime, the trip is a much needed vacation to work on my Nano Novel and another book I am working on. Both taking place [...]

Figuring Out Words Counts and Number of Pages

This seems to be a question I see asked frequently, and every so often when someone figures out that I write, they ask me directly.
I have done extensive research on many different genre’s to figure out the average word count that a novel that fits in that genre should have. This is not what we [...]

And The Novel Rolls…

I had to almost laugh when I read that post below. I was so excited to be at 21,000 and guess what. I’m almost at 33,000 at this point. My novel just keeps rolling on and I love it!
I’m ahead of where I need to be. Technically I am on the Nov. 20th word count, [...]

NaNo Check In

I am so incredibly proud of myself. I am already at a whopping 21,000 words. (well more than that, but I haven’t updated lately). I wound up changing an entire section of the book, but it had to be done. The way the characters were interacting wasn’t jiving up based on the scenes already, so [...]

Phones - Business or Pleasure

When I sit down to write, I usually turn off my cell phone and ignore the home phone. That’s what answering machines and voice mail are for. I tend to glance at the caller ID so I don’t avoid a potentially problematic phone call from the school just in case.
I did come up with [...]

How To Books and NaNo Words

Thought I’d would do a quick update. First, good news is that as of this very moment I have 19300 words written. Bad news is, that apparently I have 700 words to go before I am actually caught up, though I am certain I can do it. (Not to mention that pasting my novel into [...]

Funny Sponsored Posts

Awhile back I signed up to do some sponsored posts, but I rarely accept them because they don’t fit in with the theme of my blog. This is a freelance writing blog, so anything I accept is going to have to fit the theme of my blog to make it something I don’t mind writing [...]
