The THIRD week of FallFic is done. Which means just 1 week and 3 days remain! I hope this first week of November has treated you all well! Mine has been spent enjoying continuous gorgeous weather, taking lots of walks, and, of course, WRITING. So much writing. I'm changing up my usual daily log this week to instead share all the behind-the-scenes insanity goodness via my Know the Novel tag! And as there will no doubt be much babbling to come, let's skip any further introductions and JUMP IN. Join the linkup HERE! THE WRITING OFDAWN'S FRACTURED LIGHT How’s the…

A most happy November 1st to you all! November means so many exciting things, two of which include: Writing and Know the Novel Part 2! For many, today marks the beginning of NaNoWriMo and all the writing frenzy that comes with it! For myself, it's the halfway point of FallFicFrenzy, my own little writing challenge (which has also included frenzied writing, thus the name *winks*), and it blows my mind two weeks of mad writing have already taken place! What a wild ride it's been. But worth it every step of the way. Whether you're embarking on a new novel…

My FallFicFrenzy writing challenge begins at midnight Friday night! *cue the shrieking* Which means in less than a week I'll be slipping away into my little writing hollow and may not emerge for a good number of weeks. But, of course, I must first introduce what shall be consuming every waking hour for the next while. I'll be answering the prompts from my Know the Novel tag which opened its doors last week and I'd love for you to join. More info in the actual post. *points to link below* Find out more and join the linkup HERE! I rather…

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…

Somehow NaNoWriMo 2021 has come and gone in a blazing flurry, which means it is time for me to spill all my (many) thoughts on NaNo and writing Night's Shattered Stars in general! Hopefully you guys aren't totally sick of hearing about this thing. *nervous laughter* Rest assured, this will be my last post rambling about this NaNo! Today I'll be answering the questions of my Know the Novel: Part 3 tag to show you just how insane I am give you an inside look at all my thoughts about writing this chaotic thing that claims to be a novel!…

IT. IS. DECEMBER! With laptops, pens, and coffee cups in hand, we have survived the insanity of NaNoWriMo! And now it is time to share how the mad month of writing transpired. Yes indeed, today I bring you the third and final part of Know the Novel! I hope you've all been able to take a nice deep breath now that December is here. NaNoWriMo or just writing a novel any time can be intense and exhausting. In fact, it pretty much always is. But when there is a story inside us, it is always worth the long, tiring, stressful…

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…

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…

ONE WEEK, GUYS. Just one more week and then it's NaNoWriMo time!!! But before we dive into the month-long writing insanity, I want to actually, you know, introduce you to my NaNo 2021 novel! This will be my twelfth NaNoWriMo and just...my mind can hardly comprehend that fact. I have grown and learned more than I could probably ever fit into a single blog post over the course of my eleven NaNos. It's been such a vital tool in my writing journey. I will never forget the magic and wild rush of that first NaNo and how it propelled me…

Happy, happy October! We have officially reached NaNoWriMo prepping month which means it is time to bring back the annual writer's linkup: Know the Novel! Um. Okay. But. How is National Novel Writing Month ONE MONTH AWAY??? PURE INSANITY. Not gonna lie though, I've sort of been counting down the days since the end of last NaNo. (Yes, I am that crazy.) NaNo 2020 may have been my favorite NaNo of all time and I truly cannot wait to dive into yet another year of late nights, too much coffee, and, most importantly, mad writing! I know so many of…
