Reading Wrap Up This month I read 14 books, three of which were rereads but I had no DNFs this month. I’d hoped to read 15 or 16 this month but I was pretty busy with other hobbies during the month, so 14 isn’t terrible. My reading plans also changed around a bit because of … More November Wrap-Up: Reading, NaNoWriMo + More
Since we’re halfway through the month, I thought now would be a good time to check in and chat about how I’m doing with NaNoWriMo this month. Full disclosure, I wrote this on the 13th after I’d already done my words for the day so I could focus on my writing and other life things … More NaNoWriMo Midpoint Check In
It’s almost November and with that comes the best time of the year—NaNoWriMo. I mean, it’s also kind of the worst time of the time depending on how word counts are going, right? But we’re going for positivity this year, so today I’ll be sharing my plans for November—what I’m writing, what I’ve been doing … More My 2023 NaNoWriMo Plans
For NaNoWriMo this year, I decided I’d do this weekly updates/check-in’s mostly so I could look back at the end of the month and see how I felt about everything and what worked for me and what didn’t. I’ll talk more about what I plan to do with all of that at the end of … More A Mixed Start | NaNoWriMo 2022 Check-In #1
I can’t believe how quickly October has gone by this year. I swear yesterday was September and now we’re about to head into November and, of course, NaNoWriMo. I did my first ever NaNo in 2011 and I think I’ve participated every year, with varying levels of success, so I knew I’d be joining this … More Getting Ready for NaNoWriMo
With NaNoWriMo now officially just around the corner, I’m almost ready to start writing. With that said, I thought today’s final Preptober post would be a good place to talk through my goals, routine and the writing space that I’ve set out for myself for November. So without further ado, let’s get into it. Writing … More My Goals, My Routine and My Writing Space | Preptober #3
Looking over the different WIPs I’ve got right now and trying to decide on mini-goals for some of them for NaNoWriMo, I’ve realised that a lot of my stories have similar themes. They’ll have completely different characters and plots, but often the overarching themes feel kind of similar. So I thought I’d share with you … More I Keep Writing These Themes | Preptober #2
With NaNoWriMo not even two weeks away now, I’ve decided to get started on my writing-related posts now. I thought it would be good to start by talking about where I am with my writing right now and what I’ve been doing to prepare and what I’ve still got to do. So without further ado… … More Getting Ready To Write | Preptober #1
With every single day, we get a little bit closer to November and NaNoWriMo and so I’ve been spending a lot more time thinking about, and actually writing, my different WIPs. So I thought that in the lead up to NaNo, I’d start talking about my writing a little more on here. You might remember … More More WIPs? Oops! | Writing Update #1
You might have noticed that I didn’t do a post checking-in my NaNoWriMo status for the final week like I had been all month, nor did I post any sort of wrap up for it. Well today, I’m here to sort of do that but also to talk about what I learnt from this round … More What Did I Learn From NaNoWriMo This Year?
