#NaNoWriMo – Creating realistic characters.
Subscribe to my newsletter and never miss an update! Welcome to November hell, aka NaNoWriMo, if you’re a writer participating in the annual masochistic practice. One of the things readers frequently mention to me is they love my characters, how “real” they are. There’s not any mystery to what I do–I write what my characters … Read More
NaNoWriNO (for me, at least).
“Are you doing NaNo this year?” I’ve been asked this question dozens of times in the past couple of weeks. NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) has sort of become a juggernaut for writers over the years. The goal is 50k words blurped into a file over a month. I’ve tried to do it a couple … Read More

No one’s going to kill you if you don’t get the book done, and the worrying and stressing IS killing your creativity. Write. The. … Read More
Write Your Ass Off: NaNoWriMo edition 1
Nope, not doing NaNo this year. Too busy, unfortunately. But I posted a list of some books I truly feel are must-haves for any writer’s library over on the Write Your Ass Off blog. I’ll put up a couple more lists over the next few days. http://writeyourassoff.blogspot.com/2014/11/nanowrimo-must-have-books.html
Nano…not.
They have graphics for the participants and winners, but does Nanowrimo have logos for those of us who not only missed the mark, but we never started? I mean, it’s not that I didn’t have time to write, because that’s why I didn’t have time to do Nano. Yes, it’s ironic. I was too busy … Read More
