NaNoWriMo Week 4 Check In & 2012 Excerpt
Ack! *Muppet arms* There's only two days left of NaNoWriMo and I don't know about you, but I was in danger of FAILING. Then I chained myself to my chair and pretty much wrote 11k words in three days by mostly doing 15 minute sprints. This year's story was a real sh*teous work of art … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Week 4 Check In & 2012 Excerpt
Mortification Monday
Note: the entry below may be even more mortifying than last week's underwear episode. As much as I wanted to, I did not edit anything out. 2/23/94 Dear Diary, So much to tell-my major crush on Jimmy is still on! Though Tiffany scared him off with a note. In the note there were 2 … Continue reading Mortification Monday
Inspiration Playlist Volume 1, Track 4: “Bukowski”
This week's inspirational song is a wee bit darker than last week's School House Rock jam. "Bukowski" is probably my favorite Modest Mouse song. It also doesn't hurt that back when I lived in Boston, one of my favorite bars was Bukowski Tavern because it offered really cheap burgers and 99 types of beer, which is … Continue reading Inspiration Playlist Volume 1, Track 4: “Bukowski”

Hello Chickens Turkeys! We're well over 2/3 done with that NaNoWriMo Beast. Are you still alive? If you need some advice to keep rolling, I've got a few words for you: keep that butt in the chair! It might be sore, but you can do it! Some fools are already done and bragging about it. If they … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Week 3 Check In & 2011 Excerpt
Mortification Monday
Note: I'm about to share my most mortifying moment ever. I've only ever told one person about this and she laughed. Please be nice. 2/13/94 Dear Diary, I'm worried, upset, and bored. I'm worried about what happened in Sunday School. See, near the end I looked under the table and there was a pair of … Continue reading Mortification Monday
Inspiration Playlist Volume 1, Track 3 “Conjunction Junction”
Hello fearless writing friends! How goes NaNoWriMo? It took me about four 2500+ word days to catch up, so as of yesterday I was caught up with a sexy 27,000 words. Now I'm stuck again, but that's okay. I have a new jam to get me out of my writing funk. While brainstorming songs for … Continue reading Inspiration Playlist Volume 1, Track 3 “Conjunction Junction”

Hillary (7/29/00) Sipping mocha lattes on Broadway watching hippies, hipsters, and homeless men with our heavy hearts holding hands trying not to think about tomorrow next week next year holding onto each second wondering why we chose to walk this path all we know is that we're in … Continue reading Bad Poetry Friday
NaNoWriMo Week 2 Check In & 2010 Excerpt
We're nearly two full weeks into NaNoWriMo and I'm already 5056 words behind. I don't know about you, but this year NaNoWriMo is kicking my ass. It doesn't help that Scrivner is missing over 2000 words I wrote yesterday. It makes me want to cry and punch my computer in the face. My daily word … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Week 2 Check In & 2010 Excerpt
