NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 10
I cannot tell a lie… no writing was achieved, it wasn’t even attempted on Day 10. I’ve lost momentum, perhaps you can tell, after all these posts normally go live a lot earlier. I think I’m even more dedicated to maintaining these posts than I am to writing my novel. I really want to share […]

NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 9
I thought Day 9 was going to be another total right off. I’d listened to the ‘So You Want to Be a Writer‘ podcast on the way to Sydney, planning to work on my novel on the train ride home. This did not eventuate. The train was jam packed and once I finally got a […]

NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 8
MY first total and complete flop! That’s right, it’s only day 8 and I didn’t write a single thing. What I’m realising now is that I need to stop blowing off everything when Mat comes home for lunch and I need to stay up later. I need to MAN UP, basically. November 8 2.5hrs […]

NaNoWriMo 2017: Day 7

NanoWriMo 2017: Day 4
Day 4 was one of those days you might as well not count at all. The words I got down were negligible but I did get them down. I think this year, for me, NaNoWriMo is about getting back into a writing habit after a very disrupted sort of year. So really, any amount of words I’m […]
