NaNoWriMo

  • RoW80 Check-In: November 13th!

    “She said they would talk, but, only a few moments after Kadue had started to gentle stroke her hair, she had fallen into a deep, undisturbed, and desperately needed sleep. He stayed with her the entire night, helping her back into her shackles when the morning inevitably came.” I’ve said it before and I’ll probably…

  • RoW Check-In: November 9th!

    “The next few hours passed with a dull pain that Auferrix had shoved into the back of her consciousness, and when it was over, she felt drained and empty, a dry husk. She started to believe their words, that they would be doing a favor by killing her. In just a few days, this nightmare…

  • The Power of Determination.

    With my first week of my first serious attempt at NaNoWriMo, which was also a week where I easily worked over 40 hours without a day off, I’ve definitely gained some interesting perspective. Despite how busy I was, despite all my other writing challenges, I still managed to plow through and make all my goals.…

  • RoW80 Check-In: November 6th.

    “‘….Lucky you, a private audience and everything. The only others who earn such a privilege are myself and his whores.’ “What’s the difference?’” I always hate to admit it, but the end of Daylight Saving’s Time “Fall Back” is a godsend. It’s been a rough weekend for me on the side of work; I haven’t…

  • RoW80 Check-In: November 2nd.

    “‘I wish I could say that my offer still stood. That I was still utterly willing to break your bonds with the promise that you’ll come with me and we’ll get rid of the pig together, but I know you far too well now, Auferrix. I know better than that. It would never work between…

  • NaNoWriMo, Here We Go!

    I have been waiting for this day practically all October, and so it feels a little strange that it’s actually here. That’s right. It’s November First, a big day for us writers as it marks the beginning of the ever-popular National Novel Writing Month. For those of you unfamiliar with NaNo, the name of the…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 30th.

    “You can’t keep a serpent in a cage for long; eventually, it just slithers right through the bars.” This last week part of October has been an odd span of time for me; I feel a little like I’ve been riding a strange productivity roller coaster. I went through a funk for a little bit…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 26th.

    “Tenenshe’ean held the goard to her lips and it trickled into her mouth slowly. Still, she could not swallow quickly enough, and some of it dribbled down her chin, wasted. He ran his thumb over her chin to wipe it away and, swallowing hard and remembering to breath, Auferrix almost thought of sucking on that…

  • RoW80 Check-In: October 23rd.

    Since the last check-in for A Round of Words in 80 Days, things have been…off for me. I’m not sure exactly what it is, since I usually have such a great enthusiasm and energy for my writing, but these past few days, it’s like my writing wanted to just take a break. I think the…
