Progress Report: NaNoWriMo Day 30

TOTAL # OF WORDS WRITTEN SINCE LAST PROGRESS REPORT POST: 30,069 I Won NaNoWriMo! Yay! What does that mean exactly? Well, I’ve got 50,000+ words written in THE CRYSTAL BOOK – and a sizeable amount of them are crap because writing for speed instead of quality will do that to you. But that’s OK. I’ve [...]

Just reached over 10,000 words! # I’ve crossed a bunch of things off my to do [...]

Progress Report: NaNoWriMo Day 8

TOTAL # OF WORDS WRITTEN THIS WEEK: 13,693 Wow, this is the most I’ve written in one week in, well, ever. At least since I began recording it over the summer. Happy Dance! Of course, I realize most of the words I’m writing this month will be tossed or rewritten when all is said and [...]
