THE WINNERS’ CIRCLE! — NOV. 25
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And now for a bit of excitement for me…I just uploaded my novel to NaNoWriMo, and entered the winning circle! Yay!

YAY! THE FINISH LINE — NOV. 22
Good morning and welcome to my creative updates. My NaNoWriMo challenge has officially reached the Finish Line, with 51,374 words as of yesterday.

CREATIVE UPDATES — DAY SIXTEEN
At Day Sixteen in the NaNoWriMo Challenge, I’m very excited about my progress so far. Of course, there are some who are way ahead of me—one has even reached 50,000 words (in my group of buddies); but my count is not too shabby either. I’m at 35,502 today. I’ve been adding 2,000 + words [...]
DAY ELEVEN — ONE MORE DAY — NOV. 11
Today has been very exciting for me. I don’t usually do updates on Thursday—no explanation for that, but that’s how it’s been—but today has felt like a Friday for some reason.

Good morning, and welcome to The Friday 56, now hosted by Freda’s Voice. Here’s how it works: Rules: *Grab a book, any book. *Turn to page 56. *Find any sentence that grabs you. *Post it. *Link it here. Today I grabbed a library book that was sitting on my table. I need to read [...]
DAY TWO — NOV. 2
As Day Two of NaNoWriMo begins, I am excited! Not only have I exceeded my goals for two days running, but I am feeling the fleshed out skeleton of the story coming together for me. I mentioned in a previous post that I’d bandied about several ideas, and the one I settled on will [...]
ANTICIPATING NANOWRIMO — OCT. 31
Here I sit, eagerly anticipating the next month and its creative challenge. In case you don’t know, NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow! That’s National Novel Writing Month, and in 30 days, we must create 50,000 words. After bandying several ideas around in my head, I’ve zeroed in on something that excites me. I’ve seen some wonderful [...]
A NEW CREATIVE JOURNEY
Okay, it’s official! I’ve entered the NaNoWriMo Challenge! For better or worse. As I play around with ideas and characters, I feel that old excitement surge…does this mean my creative juices are flowing? I sure hope so, because I hate to start something that I cannot finish. 50,000 words in 30 days doesn’t sound [...]
