It's December! Which means it is time to jump into Part 3 of Know the Novel! Though it's been a few weeks since I wrapped up my novel, I'm still reeling from the process and am excited to take some time today to reflect (and flail a little). Being as how this was my first year to create and do FallFicFrenzy and my first time in thirteen years to not participate in NaNoWriMo, things felt a tad different. But different by no means is always a bad thing. In fact, all the changes brought a world of unexpected blessings, and…

A full month of FallFic has come and gone, you guys! And though it doesn't officially end until November 15th, I am here to share how this fourth week went down. Hint: 'Twas good one. I'm kind of in complete and utter shock that a full month has passed us. Like??? It feels like it just started. While at the same time I feel like life has only ever consisted of words and coffee and nothing came before that. But it's fiiiine. Words are being written and that's what matters! ALSO. This fourth week proved to be the best FallFic…

Words have been written, caffeine has been consumed, and the first week of FallFicFrenzy has been CONQUERED. It is absolutely wild that an entire week of writing has gone by. It has simultaneously felt like 3 days and 3 years. But, ya know, when you disconnect from your own life and are basically living and breathing the chaotic lives of your characters, time can get a little wibbly-wobbly. Also sleeps gets ignored but it's fiiiiine. *drinks more coffee while making deranged giggling noises* As I always did with NaNoWriMo, I'm logging each day of writing so you, dear readers, can…

HAPPY OCTOBER!!! *flings leaves in the air* I don't know about you, but October is the start of my favorite time of year. There is something so utterly magical about these last 3 months of the year. The arrival of fall, the holiday season, and for many of us...WRITING! With the coming of October, NaNoWriMo prep season arrives. Though if you saw THIS POST you'll know I'm not officially doing NaNo this year. But I am planning on writing a whole book this fall. In fact, I'm starting THIS MONTH instead of on November 1st! And I'd love for you…
