NaNo Approacheth!
It’s time once again to start making plans for November… of course my plans rarely survive contact with the 1st, it’s still fun to try! 🙂
Since last year’s post-a-day worked well for [Placeholder], I’m going to try it again with the new book. I’m also going to follow on the heels of Chasing Falling Stars and write a pre-NaNo book on the setting and charactors for the novemeber novel.
I ‘m tentatively naming it [YANS] (yet another new story), because my track record for working existing stories is horrible. But that means I need to think about what sort of book I’d like to read…
This is my 10th NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and as such I have decided that I am going to be a proper Pantser this…
NaNoWriMo starts in 25 days, Jeff Goins Intentional Blogging Challenge starts wednesday... and I want nothing more than to break open a fresh new set…

The general game-plan for April’s Camp is to release an eBook every three days: 10 books x 1,000+ words each = 10,000. Of course I also plan on exceeding that goal (if I can), so this is just the very roughest of an outline.
Since I’m trying to focus on writing/editing this month that means I have to get the cover art done in the next nine days… woo? *flails about madly*
The books that will get me to that minimum goal are as follows. I’m trying to get the SSPs done first so I can spam them into the Smashwords Store and then follow up with actual stories. (more…)
The Plotting Begins!
10,000 words is the smallest goal you can pick, so that’s where I’m starting off!
Since I have a habit of losing Camp NaNo’s with stunning consistency, I figured this time around I had better stack the deck a bit. Not only am I starting with the lowest possible goal, but I’m also working on smaller projects that I’ve already partially completed.
But the twist is that I am only going to count words that are in a new finished eBook. No drafts, no WiPs, no world-building that’s basically just filler. (more…)
November is rapidly fading into the distance and my wordcount has been pretty much stagnant save for small rallying attempts on Saturdays. Writing 50,000 words…
I had plans to plan, I really did! Great glorious plans that would have turned NaNo into a 'paint by numbers' where all the plotting…
