Stay tuned for my mid-way photo...                              BURN BABY BURN!!!!!

Hot Diggady Dog it's Nano Time again!!!!

I just decided like and hour ago to participate in Nano this year. I know Right!  I wasn't planning on doing it this year. I wanted to work on edits for my current ms, that has proven to be a big challenge. Well I decided to use the motivation and fire that comes with Nano and finish the darn thing.


So, I'm off to do some more editing and revising. Are you doing Nano this year? Will you work on a new project or finish one you already started? Let's be buddies.

Uh-I'm back... I think

Hello fellow bloggers,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and salutations for any other holiday I've missed. Well, I haven't been heard from since Nanowrimo, what a journey that was. I was so excited to get started on nano I jumped in head first and landed square on my feet around the 13th of the month. I was super duper proud of myself  *insert pats on the back, and a great big 'ol way ta go for me*.

I set my goal for nano to write as much as I could while I was inspired and worry about the rest later. Well I was inspired the whole way through, it was like my fingers had motors on them. My brain was like the  gas needed to keep them running, and running they did straight to the finish line.

...fast forward to after nano the beginning of December and I may have only written 100 words since. It's not that the story wasn't still burning in me ( because it still is to this day), it's just that I couldn't find the time. Needless to say I haven't found the time.

One major thing I adopted during nano was outlining, I was a maniac at this. After all the prep work my story kinda  wrote itself. Even at this point I just need to basically fill in some major points to move the story along I could honestly be finished in a matter of days *looks over shoulder to see if anyone read that last line*

Moral of this post, I am mad crazy busy and a little more stressed then I'd like to be, I am on a coffee hiatus
( whose brilliant idea was that again?) that has caused my blood to thin, which causes my fingers to freeze. Which makes it hard to type (vampire-ism is not my best mood). It's tax season (translation pull all my hair out place it in a pile on my desk, and demand by way of growling that no one touches it until April and I can sew it all back in).

However, I shall try to make a small, tiny blurb once a week to keep you abreast of my exciting fun filled celebrity inspired life *looking over my shoulder to see whose watching me type these lies*  while motivating myself to keep writing.

Until my fellow bloggers I bid you adieu *is that spell correct~ you get what I mean tho right okay*

Uh-Oh Nano!!

The anticipation is way to much. I am so excited and anxious to get started.

         Usually when I'm this excited about anything I start strong but half way through I fizzle out.

So, how do I keep this from happening and ruining my Nano-x-perience. I have plotted, mapped and 

outlined my wip. I've been meeting with my writing group and talking through plot problem and character 

development. Perusing the blogs getting all the info I can from  veteran wrimos.

         So what do you guys think, is that is enough?

            The best advice I've gotten was from fellow blogger Kelly Lynn  on Defeating Nano she says to 

write,write,write. Stop by and read Kelly's post, tell I sent you.


          Good luck to all participating in nano, tic toc are you done with your plotting, or are you a pantser? 

What great advice have you gotten for nano tell me about it in the comment section. You know I need all the 

advice I can get:)

 

More Nano Stuff!

More nano stuff, I will probably soon bore some of you with  nano if you choose to skip these post I'll totally understand. That said moving right along...

I was browsing the blog-a-sphere as I usually do( late at night or in the wee hours of the morning), I came across a great blog and I must have spent hours reading her previous posts. I love her blog very informative so stop by check her out and tell I sent you click here to be transported.

She has this progress bar on her blog, which I thought would be cool for nano- now keeping with my I don't want to offend anyone by taking something from their blog lesson. I didn't ask or comment because there was a link to get you own, so I will assume she's cool with it.

At any rate, I thought it would be cool to keep one for nano, and for anyone watching that will be partaking in the nano madness. You can find the progress bar here, if you're at all interested.
