You can use homemade biscuits if you prefer, I do. You may have to cook them a bit longer.

Preparing For NaNoWriMo!

NaNoWriMo is starting in less than 7 days. Stressing about it. This is the 1st year I have participated. 50,000 words in 30 days seems to be a lot to me. Though I usually write 2000 words a day and 5000+ a day on the weekends.

What I've done to prepare:

  • Have characters bios done
  • The beginning and ending figures out
  • Several scenes ready on note cards
  • Notebooks full of causes and my thoughts on outcomes
  • Scrivener installed and info inputted
  • Twitter set for hashtags : #writing, #wordsprints, #writeclub, #FriNightWrites
  • Set up with Twitter groups for motivation: @FriNightWrites, @SprintShack, @WriteChain and many more
I am not an outline person so all this prepping is a bit stressful. If you participate in NaNoWriMo please feel free to as me as a buddy, my pen is jessmarkley.

I am Back!

Finally feeling better. Enough to start posting again.

NEWS:
This year I am participating in NaNoWriMo; in November I will attempt to write 50,000 words of a new novel. It should be interesting to do. I am hoping I succeed. I am now actively on Twitter @jesdeh2o. I participate in word sprints with several other writers on Twitter. If you want to push yourself with your writing come join the sprints @FriNightWrites, #WriteChain and several other. Look for hashtag #wordsprint, #writeclub #writingsprints .

I am now finally editing 'Inevitable Destinyz' and working on a series(not sure what it's called though). For those who haven't seen snippets of 'Inevitable Destinyz' it is a YA paranormal romance about witches and vampire come together and save their races. New novels are about lycans. Typical paranormal romance with adult content.

Most posts here will be about NaNoWriMo until December. Maybe peeks into my work as well. We will see.
