Flash Fiction Friday is back, yay! A soft start this time, not a prompt but just a… piece. Tomorrow I’m helping mom at a Christmas market, and thinking of that made me think of a lady I’ve seen at that market who looked like she was going through some rought times but, last year, seemed much improved. I’m not happy Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Improvements
Titles says it all really. The past week has been largely unproductive, which has been nice but also a bit frustrating. My vegging has been equal parts taking it easy after nano, and just putting off doing that planing I mentioned. So basically, that’s what I’m doing the coming week: planning. And getting back to my flash fiction. I haven’t Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Vegging, as promised.
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!

The bookmarks also arrived Continue reading Giveaway – 4 Days Left! – Prints and Bookmarks are Here!
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
In this very special rendition of Worldbuilding Wednesday, I’m going to give you a step-by-step guide to how I made the tetonic plates for my conworld Erziyye. This guide is meant to help with designing scientifically plausible (and neat-looking), but not scientifically accurate maps. Some worldbuilders (like myself) enjoy the idea of having fairly detailed geological information on their maps but may Continue reading Worldbuilding Wednesday – Step-by-Step for Tectonic Plates
That’s right, NaNo is here! Day 3, in fact. How did that happen? Quick, belated blog post today. Last week I: Prepped, successfully for NaNo! Started NaNo! I met my goal on Day 1 and 2 and it’s looking good for Day 3, so here’s to a good month. Posted about currents for Worldbuilding Wednesday! Finished the Blog Ahead challenge Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Bye Blog Ahead, Hello NaNo!
