You can do it!
I finally managed to come from behind after nearly a week of no writing over the Thanksgiving vacation. Since Sunday afternoon, I wrote almost 15,000 words and hit the 50K mark today. I didn't know if I could do it at all, and I surprised myself by finishing a day early! This is awesome because it's the first NaNo I've finished since 2003! My novel ( Read more... ) -
In spite it all, I made it
I crested the 51K mark tonight and between illness and losing my computer I didn't think I would make it. I'm grateful for all the encouragement I got along the way. To those of you down to the wire, keep trying. It can be done. -

I Did It!
This was my first year doing NaNoWriMo. Earlier this year I finished my first novel, an urban fantasy that took me three months for the first draft and is currently on its sixth (and final?) polished draft to get ready for agent querying ( Read more... ) -
I knew this wasn't going to end well...
23:59:59 (11:59:59pm) tonight marks the end of NaNoWriMo and I still have 46,534 words to write!
That's right, 46,534 words that I haven't written yet.
It was my first attempt this year, and even though I've failed, it was such a busy month this year, and, well, I've made too many excuses for why I haven't finished, when, logically, I could have ( Read more... ) -
Woke up and it wasn't a dream - I made it!
Hit 50 thousand and change last night and went to quickly validate in case it was all a dream. Sprinted 11 thousand plus words last night fueled by many cups of coffee and I think I might have been hallucinating towards the end there. There are still large gaps where I've written: "Somehow, get from here to there with ... a herring!" But it's a ( Read more... ) -
Saddened, Yet Still Determined!
I won't be able to hit the NaNoWriMo deadline this year. I've had too many other commitments, too much stress, and my job also added to the mix of not being able to finish. I still have 3K-some-odd words, which is where I was at...ah, let's see...two weeks ago. -facepalm ( Read more... ) -

Some Issues Have Derailed My Nano
I was kind of behind going into Thanksgiving with plans to catch up over the long weekend. Thursday went OK. But on Friday night my grandfather died. I didn't get all that much done over the rest of the weekend. Now I'm at 34140, and I have to make up all the homework I didn't do over the weekend which is a lot, and I basically don't stand a chance ( Read more... )
