Last Week, In Review

Another week and another several thousand words!

NaNoWriMo went a little bit better this week. Most likely because I got out of the house and spent many hours at a coffee shop typing away. Though I am not anywhere near the goal for today (26,372), I am getting there. Currently at 14,067- last week I did 13,829 of that. So this last week has been my best, by far.

On the other hand, I didn't do my daily challenge of 500 words a day, too busy with everything else.

My short story "Scattered Souls" that was published in Shadows and Light has been nominated for an award. Final decision on whether or not it fits into the Heroic Fantasy, is still pending. But its still great that the editor thought enough of it to send it for the Ham Size Fist Award.

I was also accepted into the Fictioneers this week. Which a group, or "club", of fiction writers.

A new project was offered to me, as well. A collaborative zombie novel! There are 14 authors, each will write two chapters. So far there isn't a title, but the first two chapters were written this weekend. I will keep you posted as to title and release date.

Very exciting and rewarding week! Here's to another one just like it, or better.

Happy writing to all of you writers out there.

Last Week, In Review

Here it is Monday, again. I'm finding my weekends full of my family and pets, with very little time for me. I wrote a whole 347 words for NaNo and 9399 words for challenge. I submitted two more short works of fiction, making my total awaiting response: four. Though I am making progress on the "Pandora" project. Here's hoping you all have a great week of writing, keep those pens going and those fingers typing.

Last Week, In Review

The first week of challenging myself to write 500-1000 words a day, did not go as well as I had hoped. A total of 7918 words of fiction were writen by me. Many thousands of words of non-fiction as well. But non-fiction doesn't count. You may think that I did over a 1000 words a day, but there were actually three days I didn't write at all.
Yesterday was the kick off of NaNoWriMo 2009! And I didn't write a word for that either.
Here's hoping that this week is better and different. To any and all who are doing NaNo and/or daily word challenges- best of luck and keep at it.

NaNoWriMo

After much consideration, I've decided to try this for the first time. I have no idea what to expect, but it will be a learning experience no matter what. I was prodded by online friends as well as the librarians at the library I volunteer at. So here's to a novel in the month of November.
