NaNoWriMo - Days 5-8



I decided not to update daily since really my updates consisted of "Yay, I wrote", but since I haven't NOT written, that's just tedious. :)

So, days 5 - 8 --- yep, kept writing. When I started this book (Book 3 of my my Bijou Basin series) I only knew 2 events that would happen and nothing else. Diehard pantser here. So I've been surprised by a lot of the book as it plays out. Different side characters coming into view in this one, some emotional stuff. It's been all good.

And of course, it's been naughty. Oh so naughty. It is an erotic romance after all. FMC2 got to fulfill one of her fantasies and it was wonderful for her. :D

On Day 8 I surpassed 30,000 words. I joked with Hubby about wanting it pass 50k by Nov 12th so I can dive into Disney+. Don't know if I'll make it, but it'll be close.

Plus, I'm eager to finish my edits of Book 1 and let it fly into the world.

But, you know what?! I need some more interaction here. I know that blogs aren't as popular as the quick social media, but with my long-windedness, I prefer it. Still, I need to know if you all are enjoying these posts. So, if you've read this far -

If I get FIVE comments below, I'll post an excerpt from Book 1 here on the blog, with a shorter part on Twitter.

But I can get more than that, right?

If I get TEN comments below, I'll post an excerpt from Book 2 here on the blog, with a shorter part on Twitter.

And finally, though I don't think it will happen - prove me wrong?

If I get FIFTEEN comments below, I'll post an excerpt from Book 3 (my NaNo WiP) here on the blog, with a shorter part on Twitter.

**NOTE**: I have a few trickster fans... you know who you are, so Comments must be from 5, 10 or 15 different people. No cheating. I have my eye on you Mirren Cates.


Any of you want to see some excerpts? Let me know below if you do. And, to be good to you, if you can't sign in to leave a message, you can leave a comment on the Twitter post promoting this. Feel free to let me know if you'd like a tame or NSFW excerpt too.




For NaNoWriMo the goal is to write 50000 words in the month of November.

NaNoWriMo - Days 3 & 4




It was a crazy few days, first with two days of headaches for me, then with router issues driving us nuts. My Hubby is going to go exchange it tomorrow, so hopefully no more issues.

Sundays I reserve for days off because of FOOTBALL (Go Steelers!) but with the internet out, I wasn't able to catch up with messages and emails like I'd planned during the games, so I ended up writing some. Both Days 3 & 4 were enjoyable days of writing as I found my groove in the story. I'm a pantser, so I only knew two events that were happening in the book, but nothing about how they would work or anything. The first, was the first thing I wrote, though it will be later in the book. The second thing will be earlier on, the first big thing of the book, and I've been writing it Days 2-4.

Day 5 is starting out with some Overwatch (anyone else play) to get a last few Halloween boxes, then back to writing in a little while.

NaNoWriMo - Day 2




Day 2 of NaNo started off with a monster headache for me. :( It woke me up early and tylenol and eating didn't abate it. It kind of sucked. So I went back to bed, though I didn't really sleep much, maybe dozed about 20 minutes during the 2 hours I laid there. The headache still lingered. Such a pain!

Finally it got a bit less and I was able to write a little. Not as much as Day 1, but a huge amount over nothing, which is what I thought it'd be with how the day started. Internet issues kept me from posting this last night. Our router sucks and I can't wait to get a new one. For now, I'm plugged directly into the modem.

NaNoWriMo - Day 1



Day 1 of NaNoWriMo is in the wraps. I had two solid sessions of writing today. I don't write linear and for the first time (this is book 3) I have no idea how this book will start. With the first book, it all started with a writing prompt, and went from there. The second book began with a party my MCs were throwing. And now, for the third? Crickets. It'll come to me sometime! :) In the meantime, I got a full chapter of writing in plus most of another.
