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 […]

Announcing My 2020 NaNoWriMo Project!

November 4, 2020November 4, 2020

Hai Writers! Hopefully, this will be my year! Despite all the craziness of 2020, we all have things we’ve been looking forward to this year that will never fail us. One such reliable event is the National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo. An event that runs online for the entire month of November with participants from all corners of the globe! For the fourth year in a row I will be attempting the challenge with _ other writers to write […]

Writing & Insecurities (SW#66)

September 24, 2020

Hai Beautiful! Writing is scary! I wanted to write this post ever since I changed my mindset regarding my writing. Recently I stopped telling myself that “ignoring your WIP is not the same as giving up,” and “you can’t be scard of a writing project!” and started trying to understand the reason why I was indeed ‘giving up’. Once I’d identified what the hell I was so damn scared of, I was able to start working on ways to make the writing […]

Outlining WIP 2 plus dealing with writers block and Procrastination 2020 SW Header - Outlining WIP 2 because writer's block smacked me in the face and procrastination seems like the only option instead of facing my problems (SW#65)

Hai Beautiful! Okay, that title may be a few letters too long… It’s about time I update you all on my WIP progress, methinks. Although, embarrassingly, I haven’t been writing lately and posting this novel has added that pressure that I thought I was ready for, but as it turns out, I don’t think I am. If you are new or haven’t yet seen any previous writing posts, I am pleased to inform you that I am writing another ‘novel’! […]

Hai Beautiful! Don’t stop writing! All updates on this story will be under the tag: His Diary. I’ve started writing my second WIP and I am really excited to share it with you all (even though it’s only draft one). I want to apply all my learning from my last attempt at writing a novel to this one and go on a journey where my writing grows and improves before your very eyes! Albeit, slowly, but improvement shall be seen nonetheless […]

July 30, 2020

Hai Beautiful! Today Is A Good Day! Holy sheit! I literally do not know where to start with this entire post, but I want to mention quickly that if you are not the blog-reading type, I will be posting a video all about my novel on my YouTube channel, Jasper and Spice, on Saturday! Okay, I haven’t yet filmed the video and I know! I know, I’m leaving it to the last minute but I’m hoping that the swelling in my […]

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 […]

Here’s what happened in the last update… At the end of last month, I was reaching 65,000 words We chatted about songs that were on my writing playlist I thought […]

69k On My WIP Bby! (SW#58 ;)

June 17, 2020

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 […]

Chatting About Blogging & Being Paid To Blog (SW#57)

June 10, 2020

Hai Beautiful! Agh… Here goes nothing! I am not a big creator by any means but if someone reads my content and enjoys it, then I am happy about it. I know I will not be paid for the hours I put into my content on any platforms and over the 5 years of blogging I have come to terms with that. I’ve seen something going around Twitter recently where for some reason bloggers are speaking up about how much […]
