So over the course of the month, I got 50,128 words in on Adrift. Also, 22,508 words worth of NaNoWriMo Essays in on the blog, for 72,636 total (and actually a bit more, cuz I kept writing today, but whatever).
There are sort of two stories going on in Adrift. One is the scifi thing, and [...]

#NaNoWriMo: Fleeing the Sinking Ship
The NaNoWriMo boat is sinking. Some folks saw the writing on the wall early on and got off the ship when they could. That’s fine: they’re safe, but they didn’t get to see some of the cool things we did.
And we’ve seen some mighty fine things, haven’t we?
Speaking just for myself, I saw ships [...]
#NaNoWriMo: In which I am the Mean Parent
I almost never tell my daughter she’s smart. (I do, sometimes, when I forget not to and it just pops out in response to something unexpected she came up with.)1
That’s not because she isn’t – by all accounts and early testing, she’s a bona fide smarty pants and will no doubt excel at her chosen [...]
Updates for the week of 2009-11-29
Lots to create today. Words to write and words to read and record with new microphone. All that is very likely the next six hours or so. #

#NaNoWriMo: “Finish for me.”
When I’m in the doctor’s office filling out those first-visit forms, and I get to the section that asks if I have any history of mental illness in my family, I check “Other” and write in “My sister runs marathons.”
She tells a story about one of her fellow marathoners who ran most of the way [...]
#NaNoWriMo: Cracking the WIP
Morning, guys; how’d that Thanksgiving writing go? Eat a little too much or not enough?
Me? Oh, I’m writing this WHILE running on the elliptical, if that tells you how much I need to get done today (and how much deliciousness I shoved in my brown-sugar-n-squash hole yesterday).
*wastes five minutes trying to get a shot of [...]

#NaNoWriMo: In Which You are a Turkey-day Ninja
Happy Thanksgiving! (To all the USians, that is – to everyone else, um… well… it’s Thursday. Woot.)
I have no advice for you today. Today is a day of family and friends and good food to eat, so just take the day off, relax, and worry about NaNoWriMo tomorrow.
Seriously. Don’t worry about it. It’s fine. You’re [...]
