• a lot going on

  

  Almost a week into NaNoWriMo and I’m already behind in my word count! But that’s okay-I got a lot going on this month! Coming up on Saturday, November 12, 2022 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm, I’ll have a vendor table at the North Woodside Community Centre for their annual Kris Kringle Craft Show! I…

• the “in” scene

  

  Today, I’m thinking about chairs and if they exist. Also, I ordered a new notebook, hoping that it’ll be the inspiration I need getting into the third Patch Project book. I have yet to find the “in” scene that’ll unlock the story, help it flow a bit better. A lot of my writing so far…

• ideas when they surfaced

  

  After two weeks visiting family, I’m back in my office, listening to Cobra Poems, drinking coffee, and making plans. I didn’t get much writing done while I was away. I got back in the habit of carrying around a notebook and scribbling out ideas when they surfaced: waiting in the car, falling asleep, or early…

• metaphorical cup of coffee

  

  So, the floor desk I wrote about last time has been replaced by a more standard set up; being over 30, it turns out it’s uncomfortable to sit on the floor for more than twenty minutes at a time! I have a table and a swivel chair now, which is helping me get more on…

• first draft complete

  

  After four months of research, interviews, writing, and editing, I am happy to announce that the first draft of my novel project is complete! Finishing a draft is kind of arbitrary. I mean, I could’ve kept working on the manuscript for weeks, months, years, and still not have declared it complete. Luckily, I had deadlines…

• novel update

  

  First of all, open a new tab and watch today’s Google Doodle illustrating the events of the Apollo 11 moon landing 50 years ago. It blows my mind that humanity has set foot on the moon. Also comforting to know that there’s hot coffee in space. If you’ve been wondering where I am of late,…
