What Happened During NaNoWriMo 2020?

December 9, 2020December 14, 2020

Hai Beautiful! I’m back to my usual blogging schedule! I last spoke about my writing in this post titled: Announcing my 2020 NaNoWriMo Project. It was actually the last writing post before I disappeared from blogging in hopes to make more time for writing. In theory that was a great idea and in reality, it helped me to reduce stress, but did I write more? In my NaNo Announcement post, I spoke about starting my second WIP (which I am still […]

Writing Withdrawals: What? Why? How? (SW#62)

July 8, 2020July 8, 2020

Hai Beautiful! It’s drama time!! Let’s talk about writing withdrawals. But first I want to know; Is it even a real thing?… *Does a quick Google search* In amongst the drug information pages, I found two pages. One had really helpful info (see the second article), and the other it turns out was about how to write withdrawal (and the symptoms) in your novel. As it turns out, if you place emphasis on certain syllables in the phrase ‘Writing Withdrawals’, then […]

Hai Beautiful! AGH I Love These Girls!! There was a trend floating around on BookTwitter for a while and I knew I had to get into it! People are using a site https://picrew.me/image_maker/296093/ where artists make character building ‘games’ in their own art style for others to build their own OCs. Before we get into this post, I want to say that all credit for this artwork/ picrew goes to the artist whose social media links can be found here: […]

Hai Beautiful! I’m Nearly At 70k! Usually, I would give you all a huge update at the end of the month (there will still be one, a very excited one) but I want to talk about my WIP today. I also have an exam tomorrow. So there’s that to procrastinate. But I’m also mature… 😉 When I saw that I had hit 69,000 words my first thought was “oh shit! I’m nearly at 70k!” and my second thought was “hehe, 69… hehehehhe.” Can you […]

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but this will be the first-ever full novel I will have completed in my entire life (as far as I can remember). For some reason, I have the worst habit of […]

No, I am not finished, but I am 20,000 words out and feeling so accomplished! I’m actually not mad about this and here’s why. In the month of April, the sixth month of writing this novel, I participated in the yearly event called Camp NaNoWriMo. It is an online event that runs from the […]
