November Update

So, what happened to me during November, you ask? Well, here's your answer!

NaNoWriMo: A Journey. A Battle. A Victory.

Happy December 1st!  Can you believe we're almost done with the year?  It seems like this second half went by super fast.So, as you can see, I attempted NaNo again (click here to find out what that is).  And yes, I did win.  But, it was a hard win.  This NaNo was quite difficult to …

Write Into A Box

As a writer, I tend to read tips and tricks on how other people write, and stay productive. Write X amount of words per day Write the ending first Use character worksheets Now, as any writer would do, I have tried multiple tips and tricks to try and make writing life a little easier.  But …

I Am Of The World Of Writing

Writing is hard. It is.  Really.  And don't let anyone tell you any different. It's especially hard when you're...well, me. I am an introvert, and I process the world much differently than other people.  Being an introvert, I find that I get drained, mentally, quickly and easily.  Most of the time, this is because of …

Sarah D’Anne’s Origin Story

I know I have shared this story before, but it never hurts to revisit it. I descibe my journey by saying, "I wrote something, Mom liked it, so I became a writer." And for the most part, this is true. But let me go back a little farther. I was an only child to a …

Why I Quit NaNoWriMo, And Writing

Happy belated Thanksgiving!  How was yours?  Mine was fun, I spent the day house hopping with one of my coworkers.  She invited me over to her dad's sister's house, then over to her mom's side of the family.  All of them are really cool people.  Lots of characters!  I had some good corn pudding, I …

Really Not Going So Well

Yeah, this whole NaNo thing is really starting to get to me.  I've never this much of a problem.  I'm starting to get discouraged.  But, I know I'll make it.  Everything's fine.  It's alright. I'm mainly telling myself that, because you already know it.

NaNo Update?

Well, NaNoWriMo is...slow going.  I know, it's only the second week, I still have a couple more left.  I still have hope!  I can do this!  I wish I had more to talk about, but writing has been consuming my life...no, change that to work has been consuming my life.  It seems like that's all I do. …

Dawn Of The Second Day: 48 Hours Remain

"Sarah, what happened to the first day?" Well, technically, this is the second day, because tomorrow would be the final 24 hours before NaNoWriMo starts, and if you get the reference, then you'll...get the reference and understand what I mean. Anway! Lots has happened, actually.  Mom and I went on a bridge, we put a …

What Do Writers Do Again?

Well, happy October!  NaNoWriMo is next month!  I can't believe it!  Yes, of course I'm participating, why wouldn't I?  Oh, because the last couple of years have sucked and I didn't like my stories?  Hey!  Last year's story is good.  I just don't know who died and why, that's all. I actually do like last …
