What are we talking about today?

I'll get back to theme days once I find a groove of posting regularly. In the meantime, most of my posts are about some variation of books, bikes, buses, or Broadway. Plus bits about writing, nonprofits, and grief from time to time.

This blog is mostly lighthearted and pretty silly. It's not about the terrible things happening in the world, but please know that I'm not ignoring those things. I just generally don't write about them here.

I WIN!

I gave myself a real fright this year, thinking I wasn't going to make it. But with 25 hours to spare:


Heck yeah, zero excuses. Here's what my stats look like:



If you look closely, you'll see there are only six days when my word count peeked over the par bar even a little bit. Today will be the seventh day (ha, ha), since I'm past 50K already. I still have one final chapter to write, and I hope that nabs me another thousand or so words before midnight. This will be the first time in my three years that the story is done when the month is done. 

Will I revise? No idea. I'll make that decision after my grad papers are all finished and I'm a little bit bored. (HA! Unlikely...)

Did you do NaNoWriMo? How did you do? Or did you do something else super-fun in November?

Woo! Good for you! I notice you did almost 9500 words on the last day--very impressive. Go take a break and let your fingers rest for a little while :)

Thanks! :) I'm taking a break from writing for fun... to write my grad paper.

Congratulations!

I failed big time. But I don't even feel bad about it. My heart just wasn't in it this year.

Hey, as long as you don't feel bad about it, it's all good. :) Well done for doing it!

Definitely no Nano for me. I'm a slow and steady type of writer. Hopefully either style pays off for both of us!
