After I’m done with this #nanowrimo I think I’ll take a week away from writing. Hitting word count deadlines is stressful. I hate deadlines. They seem so final. I want to write another drunk warewolf story before I dive into my WIPs. #writing #nanowrimo

The more of your story your characters live and write, the less writing you have to do during the first draft. #writing #character #nanowrimo

Word count is up. The story has some rough spots/edges, but overall, I like what I’m doing. Or I should say I like what my characters are doing. They’re in the driver’s seat. That, for me, is always a good thing. That means they are real people. #writing #nanowrimo #characrter

Overheard: “Can I get some iced tea and Old Bay? No lemon.” #food

Hm. Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter on tap? Why not. #beer

It’s lunch time.

“She was bludgeoned to death with a loaf of bread.” “But why?” “He kneaded to do it.” #writing #throwawayline

It’s day 9 of #nanowrimo. I have to go over 37K words today. I also have errands to run in addition to writing. It’s going to be full/hectic day.

“What do you do?” “I kill people for a living.” “…” “I’m a writer.”

Good morning. Stay centered. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I’m done writing for the day. Another bout of writing tomorrow. I plan on hitting 37K. I also plan on doing something to decompress a bit.

Another good day of writing, but it started slow. I’m over 33K words. The story and characters have thrown more twists at me than I had anticipated. It’s fun writing. I hope it turns into a fun read. #writing #nanowrimo

I need a break.

It’s time for a break. It’s slow going today. #writing #nanowrimo

Happy Abet and Aide Punsters Day.

I plan on writing myself out of the corner I wrote myself into yesterday. It wasn’t the corner I believed it to be, but it just feels as if it is. My story already has a built-in way out, I just had to discover/remember it. I love when a plan comes together. #writing #nanowrimo

Good morning. Bring your passion. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

There are no small lives, only small minds.

Nibbage. #fountainpen

Time to meditate.

Phew. Time to fall over. I’m over 29K words. I may have written myself into a minor corner, however. I need to figure out how to resolve it before I continue. #writing #nanowrimo

Even imperfection has a purpose. #life

It’s time for a break.
