Um. UM. We are now entering THE FINAL WEEK OF NANOWRIMO 2021! I don't know if this NaNo has blazed by or if a time ever existed before NaNo. YA KNOW. NaNo is always timey-wimey like that. But I am definitely stunned we've just got one full week left! Like. The final month of 2021 is a mere week away? I can't even. For this week's post, I am diverting from my daily logs to join up with my Know the Novel tag instead. But don't worry, I shall be sharing quite a bit of what's been going down this…

Guy. GUYS. We have literally finished the whole first half of NaNoWriMo! Despite doing NaNo for years, it never, ever fails to shock me how fast it blazes by. I'm a little stunned the whole first half is just...done??? Where did it gooo? (Oh right, it passed me by while I was cackling madly at my computer screen for two weeks straight. AHEM.) But being as somehow we have ended yet another week, 'tis time for me to subject you all to yet another round of Christine's NaNo Rambles and Nonsense! WHOOOO!!! NANO '21 WEEK TWO MONDAY: DAY #8 Mondays…

And just like that week #1 of NaNoWriMo 2021 is DONE! I am a little (and by a "little" I mean COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY) in shock that we are already an entire week into NaNo and only have 3 weeks left to go. But words are being written, guys! I have no idea if they're coherent words on my part (I highly doubt it, in fact), but they're still WORDS. And it is a most fabulous feeling. Per the usual, I shall be doing weekly updates with a day-by-day look at my NaNo. And can we just talk about how…

HAPPY NOVEMBER!!! NaNoWriMo is HERE. And that of course means Know the Novel Part 2 has also arrived! I seriously cannot believe we have officially made it to NaNo. Last month was full of prep and anticipation (and maybe some panic and a good existential crisis or two) and here we are at last able to spew those words that have been building up onto the page! It's time to create some magic. If you missed it, last month I opened up Know the Novel, my 3-part linkup series for writers. And ooooh my goodness, did it bring me such…
