This week you get THREE (well, technically still two) episodes of my old podcast that focused on National Novel Writing Month. Today, Thursday, I bring you part 1 of the pre-NaNoWriMo episode from 2008, tomorrow you get part 2, and on Monday comes the wrap-up from that year. The good news is that I had… Continue reading flick-a-brac #59 (Part 1 of 2) – NaNoWriMo 2008

flick-a-brac #16 – NaNoWriMo 2007 Wrap-Up
Why do you look so shocked? You were warned that this would happen: twice a week I am presenting the episodes of my old podcast that focused on National Novel Writing Month. On Thursday I will bring you the pre-NaNoWriMo episode, and on Monday comes the wrap-up from that year. Same “this sounds like a… Continue reading flick-a-brac #16 – NaNoWriMo 2007 Wrap-Up
flick-a-brac #13 – NaNoWriMo 2007
You were warned that this would happen: Starting today, and twice a week (though next week has a 2-parter, so it will be three times), I present the episodes of my old podcast that focused on National Novel Writing Month. On Thursday (and, next week, Friday) I will bring you the pre-NaNoWriMo episode, and on… Continue reading flick-a-brac #13 – NaNoWriMo 2007
HAPPY NANOWRIMO 2020!
It’s November! (Go vote.) Oh, yeah, and National Novel Writing Month began yesterday. I guess that’s a thing. That I have been doing for fifteen years. Of course, since I am writing this ahead of time, I do not know how my first day went. I hope I wrote a bunch of many words. If… Continue reading HAPPY NANOWRIMO 2020!
SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT MONTH
It’s October! Where the hell does the time go? (Of course, for the people “stuck” in quarantine, they’re all wondering how I’m saying it’s October, when it’s clearly March 200th or some such.) In the last month, there is not a whole lot to report. I have an announcement that I’ve been sitting on, but… Continue reading SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT MONTH
REVISITING GOALS
I like goals. I would not necessarily say I am goal-oriented in general, but when it comes to writing, there is something about setting my sights on a number of words written in a specific amount of time and trying to hit that number. It is one of the reasons National Novel Writing Month appeals… Continue reading REVISITING GOALS
THE MAY “UPDATE”
I wish I had something pithy or newsworthy to share this month. So far it is “life” as usual, minus the gaming stuff due to plague. Three people have bought my new book* so far. What is wrong with them? Of course, my one blog reader is already pestering me for a May entry, so… Continue reading THE MAY “UPDATE”
BOOK RELEASE IN THE TIME OF THE PLAGUE
Since my last bona fide blog entry, the entire world has changed. That seems like a hyperbolic statement, but it’s really not. Based on my admittedly limited knowledge, COVID-19 was still mostly contained on another continent with just the merest hint of landing on my shores. It was more an idea than any real threat.… Continue reading BOOK RELEASE IN THE TIME OF THE PLAGUE
LOOKING BACK ON 2019, AHEAD TO 2020
Here’s what happened in 2019 and what I intend to do in 2020.
ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER WIN
I know it’s bad form to brag, but it’s true. I won NaNoWriMo 2019 with 55,555 words. This is win #15 in as many attempts. This will be another long recap post. As before, if you want to skip the rest, you have the gist of it. For everyone else, let’s do this in handy… Continue reading ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER WIN
