Words written: 971 Total words written: 24,386 Stories written: 4 Total words behind: 3,947 So that story that I mentioned yesterday turned out to be a flash fiction piece, much to my surprise, and it took far longer to write than I thought it would, so by the end of the day it was the… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Seventeen

NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Sixteen
Words written: 3,498 Total words written: 23,415 Stories written: 3 Total words behind: 3,252 Good progress today. Finally finished that space whale story. Needs to be trimmed down quite a bit, but I think there’s a good story in there, even if it’s still in the rough. So now that I know I can come… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Sixteen
NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Fourteen
Words written: 2,709 Total words written: 19,917 Stories written: 2 Total words behind: 3,416 Well, the third nanowrimo story isn’t finished. That’s the bad news. But the good news is that I made some progress on winnowing down that gap between where I am and where I should be, and if things keep going at… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Fourteen
NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Thirteen
Words written: 1,520 Total words written: 17,208 Stories written: 2 Total words behind: 4,459 I am so totally lost. Every time I sit down to write this current story, it goes in a completely different direction. At this point, I’m just following it wherever it goes. Didn’t get as much writing done as I would… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Thirteen
NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Twelve
Words written: 862 Total words written: 15,688 Stories written: 2 Total words behind: 4,312 Another day of very little progress. It feels very weird to write a story that I haven’t spent much time planning or thinking about first. I suppose this is what Dean Wesley Smith would call “writing into the dark,” but personally,… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Twelve
NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Eleven
Words written: 626 Total words written: 14,826 Stories written: 2 Total words behind: 3,507 Today was just one of those days when Writer Joe just didn’t show up for work, so Publisher Joe went ahead and did a bunch of chop wood, carry water type stuff instead. Got a lot of work done, including about… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Eleven
NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Ten
Words written: 2,820 Total words written: 14,200 Stories written: 2 Total words behind: 2,467 I finished my second story today, and it’s pretty dang terrible. But that doesn’t matter, because it’s nanowrimo! On to the next one. I was having a hard time coming up with a story idea that I actually wanted to write,… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Ten
NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Nine
Words written: 2,130 Total words written: 11,380 Stories written: 1 Total words behind: 3,620 Still running behind, unfortunately. It’s going to take some effort to catch up, let alone build a buffer for the Thanksgiving holiday. I expect I’ll finish my second story tomorrow. It’s a decent one, though it probably needs to be reworked… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Nine
I Have A New Book Blog!
So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what reading goals I want to set for 2021, and I decided as a part of that to keep a regular book blog where I post all my book reviews and keep a regular reading journal. The first post is now live, and you can check it… Continue reading I Have A New Book Blog!

Words written: 2,827 Total words written: 9,250 Stories written: 1 Total words behind: 2,417 My first story is done! It is so terrible. Really needs a massive rewrite, but not now! On to the next one. Since tomorrow is a Sunday and I don’t write fiction on Sundays, I’ll be taking the day off. Still… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Day Seven
