Even though it is still relatively early, I think that I’m finished writing for day seven of National Novel Writing Month. My goal was to hash out twelve-thousand words and it was a bit of a struggle. I’m feeling a bit run down and just want to spend some time with my wife and daughter before the weekend closes out and we are back to the daily grind. After yesterdays successful day, I sat down this morning and realized that …

My day six contribution to National Novel Writing Month has come to a close and I feel absolutely invigorated with having chalked up 10,589 words. When I sat down to write this morning, I was a bit down on myself for having fallen behind. With a late start to the day, I didn’t have high hopes for getting very far.

Tonight marks the end my day five contribution to National Novel Writing Month. While I should be thrilled to have written 7,863 words so far, I am bummed out that I am behind.

I’m keeping pace with where I should be in terms of a word count this far in but I am not gaining any ground. Sitting down to write every day is proving to be a challenge. I hope to find the …

As expected, my day three contribution to my National Novel Writing Month project was less than I would have liked. Having such a rocky day yesterday left my writing in disarray. I spent a solid hour pruning yesterdays writing and only managed to add about four hundred words to the chapter I was working on. Even though my word count was less than desired, I was happy with the end result. I moved on to the following chapter later in …

I have clocked out for day two of National Novel Writing Month (MaNoWriMo) with a tally of 4,141 words. I’ve got a long road ahead of me, and I’d love to write more tonight, but I’m not feeling it and just have to walk away and come back fresh tomorrow. The writing itself wasn’t overly difficult, however, the circumstances surrounding the writing were. Like any day that I work from home, I rose this morning at 3:30am and hit the …
