The NaNo Waltz

The NaNo Waltz A NaNoWriMo Parody to “The Christmas Waltz” By Lauriloth ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inky pens in hand Lightbulbs gleaming inside Inspiration coming alive NaNo's on its way, It's filled its days With words, words for you and for me It's that time of year When the writers go mad Every one you see Seems to say Happy NaNo May your word count goals come true And this month we write In thirty days time Hopes your fifty thousand Words come too Happy NaNo May your word count goals come true And this month we write In thirty days time Hopes…

NaNo Cometh

That time has come upon us again. That time of blood, sweat, and tears. That time that our eyes burn out of their sockets from long time exposure to our writing devices. That time that our brains fizzle out from ideas overload or abandon us altogether as we push those minds of ours to give us the inspiration we need. That time that our associates give us odd looks because every time we look at a calendar we scream in terror only because October is almost over. That time is NaNoWriMo. Yes indeed. NaNo is almost here and the writers…

A Little Bit of This, a Dash of That, with a Pinch of Other Stuff

I’ve been in a bit of a blogging rut as of late, which is probably evident in the fact that I haven’t posted in a month and a half. I’ve been suffering from blog post block, which is like writer’s block but with blog post ideas. Add that with a touch (okay, okay, a lot) of laziness, and my blog is off to the land of abandonment. I blame the summer. (Are you saying I should blame my own laziness? Pft. That’s ridiculous.) Upon summer days, comes, what I like to call, the “don’t wanna’s”. I don’t wanna do this.…

It’s Alive! …For now.

Wow. What a terrible blogger I am. I haven’t posted anything since Christmas? Shameful, I know. I am alive though! My ideas for posts have just run completely dry lately; but I need to post something thus I’ve decided to update on…stuff. This post is very random, you are warned. First of all, Happy New Year! To me, 2012 is an awesome number. Why? *shrugs* I have no clue. I just like it. I also like new beginnings and the start of a New Year in general. It’s enjoyable having a fresh start and new goals to reach for. As…

Green with Env…er…Excitement!

Ecstatic!!! That is how I’ve felt today since 4 PM. Utterly ecstatic. Why? Because NaNoWriMo is officially OVER! Ending this month at 100,050 words and I am finished with NaNoWriMo 2011. Remember how I said I was going to try to write at least 2k words absolutely every single day this month? Well, I did it! I’ve never written every single day for 30 days in a row before. I am quite excited. On the NaNo site they have little word count widgets you can put on your website or forums signature or wherever you want to show off your…

Working Muse, Excitement, Flowing Writing…

…I don’t understand. Just suddenly, a few days ago, my writing became easy and I’m having so much fun doing it. What is happening? I’ve made a promise to myself to write 2k words every single day this month. To make myself actually do it I always write 2k before I let myself even touch the internet. This is hard…very hard. But it gets the 2k written every time. Unfortunately, I am usually just trying to get those words finished as fast as possible and get on with my life (a.k.a spending the rest of the day on the internet,…

Spinning Merrily in the Winner’s Circle

As of today I am an official NaNoWriMo 2011 winner. My thoughts? Yep. This afternoon I hit 50k words and, to be quite honest, am most ecstatic. I still plan on writing all month. My goal was to write at least 2k words every day this month, and I plan on sticking to that. Maybe I can just be slightly more relaxed now. Though I’ve been a bit more stressed out than last year’s NaNo, this one thus far has been quite enjoyable. I’ve hit the part in my story that I’ve been waiting for and I think it might be…

Halfway There and Going Strong

Side Note: I’ve decided I am going to try and update my NaNo progress here on my blog regularly and bore you all with it. Maybe it will help me actually post on this poor, very often neglected blog of mine, and it is initiative to keep writing. Plus, I am never really thinking about much else in November, so I don’t know what other things I can blog about. So you shall be bored with pointless updates this month! Yay! Despite promising myself I would not go as crazy and spend so, so much of my time writing this…

Sleep? That Exists in November?

No sleep, little to eat, fingers already crying out for mercy, and eyes literally burning inside their sockets (if their still inside their sockets properly that is). First day of NaNo equals success! I stayed up until *cough*2 in the morning*cough* last night because I was determined to write 2k words before I went to bed. I managed it, not easily, but it happened. I got a later start than I would have liked today, wonder why? *coughity cough* But I had an ideal day for writing the entire time. A lovely Fall day, the house entirely to myself, and…

When the Insanity Begins…

In only 1 hour for me the clock will strike midnight marking November 1st and the insanity will begin. What insanity you ask? Why, National Novel Writing Month of course! If you have no idea what I am talking about you can check out a post about it here or the official site here. It is a tradition for many participants to start writing the moment that clock hits 12 AM. Being the crazy person (or person-ish thing) I am, of course I am going to stay up late! It is one of the most exciting parts of NaNo—counting down…
