Guys! I won NaNo! Feast your eyes on these sweet final stats:75k, can you believe it? I almost can’t. It makes sense because I hit 50k on the 20th, 2/3 of the way through. But at the same time… I’ve never totaled more than, say, 52-53k during NaNo before so basically I feel like Superwoman. As for the draft, it’s Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Giving it 150%!
That’s right, guys! On Friday the 20th, I won NaNo! Well, I won the 50k bit anyway, not the “finish your draft” bit, got a bit of a ways to go with that. That is a super-yay in my view, because this is (as far as I can recall) the only time that I’ve won NaNo before the last day Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Early Win!
Guys, I am having the best NaNo ever! Today is day 16, and I am a 37.5k. That is, 3/4ths to 50k, and 10k over par! I’ve had 3 4k days so far! Wooh! I feel awesome. I mean, check out these stats: I could cruise through the rest of the month if I wanted to. Buuuut I don’t! There’s plenty Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Way Ahead, For Once!

This past week’s been an odd one. I’ve forgone my usual productivity schedule on account of NaNo. The main reason for that is that I seem to be quite heavily dependent on Twitter word sprints to get things done (as I’m having trouble focusing) and as such it makes more sense for me to be writing when there’s sprints happening Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Sprinting Along

That’s right, they’re here!! Behold! Aren’t they pretty? Potato-quality photo aside, I’m really happy with the quality! The books arriving was just one aspect to a really good week. I had some good personal news, got some great progress with some life my projects and enjoyed quality time with my boyfriend, my parents and my bestie and her (hilarious) 18 Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Let There Be Paperbacks!
Normally I like to forget that it’s Wednesday and end up doing my worldbuilding post on a Thursday, but this week I thought I’d mix it up a bit by forgetting it was Monday and doing my weekly update on a Tuesday. Yay, variation! So what have I been up to? Well, I have: Poked my MS. It has poked Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Whoops, Tuesday!
