#NaNoWriMo – Down To The Wire
31,537 words. 530 so far today. That’s good, on track for my most productive writing month ever. But it’s not quite good enough. With six days to go, that total count means I need about 3100 words a day to …

Chugging Along
I guess I should update everyone again on how things are going. First, NaNoWriMo: Yeah….not so hot. I am sitting at 28,480 words as of this moment and have gotten about 1,000 words down today. I fully expect to go …
October Results

Happy Birthday To Me
Well, today (the 9th…it’s still the 9th here on the east coast of the USA) is my birthday. As a special birthday present to myself….I really and truly finished Masters. For real this time. I got the last of the …
