NaNoWriMo 2019
There’s Something About Writing 50,000 Words in 30 Days Last year was the first time (out of three or four tries) I “won” National Novel Writing Month, and I’m getting ready to do it all over again. You can read all about my 2018 excitement, progress, and overall experience in this post, and keep reading for how I’m approaching NaNoWriMo 2019.

When Refreshing Blog Posts: Some More Lessons
I published the first version of this blog post three years ago, after two years of blogging.

NaNoWriMo 2018 | Conclusion
Happy December, friends. And an especially happy December to every one who participated in National Novel Writing Month. We made it!

On the other, I’m extremely proud of myself for making it happen, and am almost completely overwhelmed with feelings.

NaNoWriMo 2018 | Week 2 Update
November is now over halfway done, thus, we reached the halfway point for NaNoWriMo this past week. I am currently a bit behind on my word count, but after I’m done with this post I’m going to get some more writing in before the day is done; in other words, I have the time to catch up.

Well the first week (plus a couple of days) of National Novel Writing Month has come and gone. I don’t think an update post really warrants a long introduction (the point is in the title, after all), so let’s get into my progress, hurdles, and learning curves of the past ten days.
