BakkaLady's Blog (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1612339-BakkaLadys-Blog I'm up with the word count for the day, but it was really slow going. I feel like I'm struggling a bit with the narrative, but hopefully I will be able to work through it and the writing will get easier. Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:47:45 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/675278 Just thought of this and wanted to share it. Yeah, I know I have a weird sense of humor sometimes. And before I get any angry comments from military supporters, my dad was a Marine and I am very proud of him. This in no way means I don't support our troops. I love the soldier, hate the war. However, any Windows fanatics who want to bring it, feel fre...[Read Full Post] Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:37:30 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674813 I wrote about 2300 words today, but it was really tough going. I'm basing the main character of my novel off of me, and part of my life that I'm incorporating into that (loosely) is my grandmother's hospitalization and death. She died about 5 years ago after an extended and heartbreaking illness, and I really don't think about it that muc...[Read Full Post] Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:13:17 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674812 Finished my daily quota I set for myself. The second chapter is running a little longer than projected, but it's my book, so I'll do what I like, damnit! Anyway, I'm at a little over 6500 words and am really enjoying how the story is developing. My hubby, who is also participating, is writing what sounds like an awesome fucking story about a ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:49:03 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674665 So today was the first day of NaNoWriMo and I'm on par with the projected word count. I did happen to realize, however, that since I write at night, I actually should have started after midnight yesterday :P To fix this, I'm just writing at least 2000 words a day until I catch up. I like having impetus to write like this. It doesn't give m...[Read Full Post] Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:48:52 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674317 Ugh! I got about 4 hours of sleep today and now I'm working a graveyard shift...Don't really have much to talk about other than how, when you're tired, it seems like the things you do most naturally (like writing) become so tedious and awkward. I would have to say being tired is the hardest hurdle to get over for me when writing. What's y...[Read Full Post] Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:24:12 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/673842 I'm really awful at keeping up with a blog, so if I don't write for weeks at a time, that's why. I'm also bad at first posts for blogs, because I never know what to say. I'm a writer, about to turn 30 in a few days, and I focus on poetry and sci-fi/fantasy fiction. I haven't been active on WDC very long, but I like it so far. It g...[Read Full Post] Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:14:40 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/673591
