So wow. Hi to all you NaNoWriMo people! There are…. Quite a lot of you.

Hello all. I really suck at this kind of thing, so bear with me. After a good deal of thinking, I've decided that I would really really love to attend the Office of Letters and Light's A Night of Writing Dangerously. And I need your help. To attend, I need to raise at least $250 … More A Request for Assistance, with perhaps provocative incentive
I know that this is the gear-up month for NaNo, and this is probably not the headline many are looking for. I also know that I didn't blog yesterday, despite promising to post every day this month. I didn't write at all, in fact. Because something more important was happening. Well, two things. One was … More Sometimes Writing Isn’t Important
We sign up for NaNoWriMo, we buy expensive pens, we write manuscripts, spending hours and hours every day in a dark corner with imaginary friends .

Goals are important. Sticking to them is even more important. I have not been blogging, and for that I am sorry, life is still churning me about and giving me a little too much to do with my brain and my time and leaves me with precious little at the end of the day to … More The 30,000 Word Stall, or, so lost I know I’m on the right path.

Me: Hey, God! Check this out! I’m totally making plans! God: Lol! Good luck with that. This month is starting to feel like the punch line to a long and drawn out joke. The pressure is on with this 12 novels project along with me characteristically biting off much more than I can chew, such … More Cosmic Accidents
Day Sixteen: Not enough of 50,000 I have been writing. I promise. But… Remember how I keep picking at that novel from January? How I keep working on it in my down time? Yeah… It has posessed my brain completely now. I am stuck on the characters and who they are and what the story … More Mid-May Catching Up with Facehuggers
Day Fifteen: 13,871 of 50,000 Hey guys. I’m still sick. I can’t believe it. I keep thinking that any day now, I’ll wake up and have energy again, will be able to go for a few hours without feeling like I’m not going to fall over. I don’t know about any of you, but when … More Still Sick and Scaling Back
Honestly, if Monty Python came by my house this weekend with their death wagon, I might have gone ahead and thrust myself on the top and begged to be put out of my mystery. What misery I was vaguely aware of through a fever of 103° F, anyway. I was unlucky enough to come to … More A Brief Update (aka I’m Not Dead Yet)
