Anyone else feeling the NaNoWrimo Shame?

  Ready or not, it’s November. That magical month where writers join together in the creative fest known as NaNoWriMo. Raising their heads only to gulp another cup of coffee, or perhaps, a longer pause for turkey and a slice of their favorite pie.When I was first published in 2007, I had no idea what Nano was. Sure, I might have caught a murmur of this weird name and pursuit, but my attention was

A thank you to my readers.

 It’s been an interesting year for all of us. The impact of current events became so great I broke my own resolve to not share my personal on this, my professional social media.

Starting my month with some much needed motivation.

Camp Nano Reflections

Hey, I did it. :) My first baby step into the Nano 'verse. Granted, it was April's Camp Nano. It wasn't "real" Nanowrimo and I didn't write 50,000 words. But! I did sit down, plan out, wrote, and met my goal of writing 8,000 words on a new short story. Yay!! Is the story finished? Not quite. But if I've learned one thing over this whole writing adventure it's that the ultimate truth is:

#Camp Nanowrimo Update - it's a good news/bad news kind of thing.

The good new? Hey, wow! I hit my planned story word count!!!! The bad news? The story isn't finished yet. Whoopsie!!!
