Late Update

I admit I’m a bit lost. But things are good. In fact, the reason I’m a bit lost is because things are good! I’m well over 80k in my WIP. I’m expecting it will top 100k, and if it’s a … Continue reading

Just Thinking Out Loud

For NaNoWriMo this year, I returned to Kingdom Come. This is a planetary colony where happily committed polyamory is a normal way of life. I’ve succeeded at NaNo twice with KC stories, and last year when I used a different … Continue reading

On the First Day of NaNoWriMo, My True Love Gave to Me…

It’s the first week of NaNoWriMo and I’m OK. Just OK. Not great, not even comfortable, but OK. At the dawn of day 5, my word count is a nice even 7k. I was above the line until yesterday, then … Continue reading

Icky-Poo

The only upside I can fathom to being sick is that I hope to get over it BEFORE NaNoWriMo. I’ve given up on one story I wanted to finish this month. The deadline’s just a couple days away, and even … Continue reading
