NaNoWriMo

I started writing a post on this on Sunday, but somehow I lost it and it never posted. So now I guess I’ll try again. First, what in God’s name is NaNoWhatNow? I can just imagine my mother’s voice, “What is that silly bitch… Continue Reading “NaNoWriMo”

Making my own rules

Recently, I tweeted some pics of my printed book which included the start of chapter 6, and one of my maps. The tweet was very well received by Twitter and the writing community. I had one chap compliment me, but then proceed to inform… Continue Reading “Making my own rules”

Where have I been?

I must admit my posting schedule has slipped a bit. Between now and February, my work gets hectic with the Christmas rush, and as the boss, I tend to get swamped. Therefore I may not be posting as much as before. So what have… Continue Reading “Where have I been?”

Another update and a character release!

I’m sure anyone who actually reads my posts are probably sick of seeing me write ‘I’m almost there!’. Heck, I’m sick of myself haha! I’m still doing a lot of those little in-between jobs. Last night I applied for US tax exemption so I… Continue Reading “Another update and a character release!”

Longest 10 days of my life

I never knew 10 days could take so long!! I feel like time is dragging on, it’s killing me! I’m halfway there, 5 days to go until I get my manuscript back from my editor. I even made a countdown timer (which has made… Continue Reading “Longest 10 days of my life”
