Day 30: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 16, 2013

Oh, wow…day thirty! You know what that means? It means Christiney and I are one-third of the way through our writing challenge! Eep! But it also means that, for one month, we’ve been very dedicated to our books! So that’s exciting. Today, thankfully, we (Mum and I) got so much done! We went through the […]

Day 29: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 15, 2013

I’m too tired to exist right now. But I didn’t want to go to sleep without posting. I’ve had a good day. Busy. A little crazy. But good. Nothing got done for the book but I am going to BED.  Today, I had TWO big deadlines for clients, a meeting, and I babysat for three […]

Day 28: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 14, 2013

This post is less about the book and more about me. (Although I will say, I didn’t actually do much for the book today.  And you know what? I’m OK with that.) So today was not unique in many ways: I was busy, I was tired, I didn’t accomplish as much as I’d hoped to. But […]

Day 27: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 13, 2013

Goodness, are we really almost a month into this now? Man, the time flies… Today, I did very little for the story.  Some research, some chatting with the co-author/mum (co-muthor? mum-author?), but that’s about it. Does reading about the Higgs boson particle count?  I bought a book about it.  I have an entirely different blog […]

Day 26: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 12, 2013

Today: Character motives.  Character desires. Also, denying those desires. Because CONFLICT.  And PLOT.  And also REASONS. Today’s writing made me feel really bad for my kids (i.e. the characters…who are teenagers).  They’re going to go through all kinds of bad stuff. But you know, they’re going to come out of it alright.  Mostly.  Well, some […]

Day 25: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 11, 2013

I am almost caught up with where I should be, and that is awesome.  I get hot cocoa for that.  Good Evey.  Good. Today I worked on minor characters, some of which aren’t as minor as I’d originally thought.  A lot of my background/history has changed since my original writing of this story, so there was […]

Day 24: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 10, 2013

Today, I did a an exercise where I describe my main characters’ homes, which was surprisingly fun and informative.  It’s kind of funny–my 90 Day Novel book is mostly about books in a contemporary setting (she doesn’t state that, but her exercises make it pretty clear), so I have to adjust a lot of the exercises […]

Day 23: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 9, 2013

Oh, man, today was GOOD.  To explain it clearly, though, first I have to backtrack a little. I covered this a little in yesterday’s post, and also in a comment on that post, but I need to explain it here: I am writing this book backwards.  Kind of.  I had the idea for years, and […]

Day 22: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 8, 2013

OK, so yesterday was definitely an off day for me. I didn’t just fail on this–I failed in basically every area of my life, haha. I mean, nothing detrimental, it’s just that basically noting got done yesterday. At all. And you know what? It’s OK, because I had a great day today Today was all […]

Day 21: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 7, 2013

Instead of writing, I went to the movies. Prisoners was awesome, check it out. I am three weeks into this thing, and I’ve done about two days of work. The holidays aren’t even in full-swing yet. I am scrambling to figure out how to get more time for writing. I think I just need to […]
