NaNoWriMo Progress
Day 20 and I’m not on track for the 50K word count, but I’ve at least done 8,800 or so words that probably wouldn’t have been written this month otherwise, given the things life has thrown my way. So I’m … Continue reading →

NaNo … not in a month though
Have started NaNo and as I might have expected, life has been intervening. Have only managed to get a bit over 5,000 words done. Still, mustn’t beat myself up as even that is a victory at present. Despite the NaNo edict … Continue reading →
