So my #notnano #NaNoWriMo attempt has somewhat paused over the last week, partly because I've found myself mired in half a dozen contradictary timelines. But that's December's problem; first, I have a week to finish a draft...

Today's #WIPSnips is even less polished than usual because it comes from my November #notnano #NaNoWriMo story.

It looks like my accidental #NaNoWriMo #notnano #sidequest has become to try all the flavours of Monster. Slowly and in moderation obviously, anything else would be very unhealthy. Also I don't want to explode before Christmas.

My #FirstDraftFall or #NotNaNo #Novelmber (or whatever) antagonist is one of those abstract sorts so I'll use Death & the Dreamer's antagonist for this: He's a 300-year-old necromancer who steals life from other people to keep himself going but damn it, everything he does is for ❤️LOVE❤️ #Novmemeber

For those of you doing your first #NaNoWriMo here's some unsolicited advice: it's not so much about writing the next great classic as it is, working on the stamina to write a book.

Let me explain...1/3

Starting my #novelvember check-in thread here on my way home from the brilliant Writer Unboxed Unconference in Santa Fe. My goal this year is to touch my revision every day (starting with an action plan from my conference notes).
Good luck on your goals!

Night Clings To Me I dream of her. She's doing her no-gravity routine in some sort of glass dome. There are stars and not stars outside of the dome. The not stars scare me. I wake up as she tosses her head and her long hair comes free of its bun, and the last thing I see are the blonde strands fan out around her tumbling shape.

Okay. So #NotNaNo is going to be sci-fi. As it has been the last two years. I just love writing sci-fi.
And it's going to be in the flash fiction format (mostly).

Not NaNoWriMo, but NaFlaFiWriMo. 😹

Who's writing a November novel this year?

No gods, no masters, no centralized authority. Just words on the page and triumph in the air.

Rounding out November with 51k words. I've had a really successful month even if it's been mostly offline and out of sight. Planning to continue my #notnano with my friend @maddmilliner.bsky.social viewing their stream for a special December writing challenge.

He acabado en #NotNano o #Anuskiwrimo ,treinta días escribiendo a mano. Haciendo una media de palabras por página, habré alcanzado las cuarenta y tres mil de largo ( las contaré con exactitud más adelante ).

Estoy agotada y abrumada. Y muy contenta.

A screenshot of my November 2024 goal showing a sharp spike in word count on November 16th that takes me over par for the goal. Will I add another sharp increase? The day will tell.

Had a more productive than expected afternoon yesterday, adding 5K words (!! not normal for me) Hoping for another solid day to build up a buffer for this week! (Also hoping I get to the only one bed scene. 😘)

My current project is a fantasy romance set in a location that's loosely based on WA state's Olympic Peninsula. My first week's project-inspired recipe was portobello mushrooms stuffed with sautéed spinach, walnut & roasted garlic ricotta, & caremelized onions.

Not me setting up this account & immediately forgetting to post & be social & stuff. Anyways, one of my long-standing November writing traditions is to make some project-inspired recipes, so here is my belated thread, which will include photos.
