NaNoWriMo Day 17/18

Oh yeah!  Who got ahead for tomorrow.  Nothing was getting in the way of me and Harry Potter so I finished my writing for tomorrow tonight.  Still a little bit ahead. I got inspired by some of the advice that Holly Black put up today to the NaNoWriMo’s. The piece of advice that hit me [...]

Reviewing Virals by Kathy Reichs

From the second I heard that Kathy Reichs was writing a kind of sci-fi/thriller book, I was so excited.  I was also interested to see how she transitioned to writing a young adult series.  The Temperance Brennan books are absolutely brillant. When I read them I honestly think that I learn a lot.  They are [...]

NaNoWriMo Day 06

Done and done.  Well for the day at least.  Luckily last night I got ahead so today’s writing was pie.  Hitting the 10,000 mark felt really good. It made me laugh thinking about how back in college writing a 5,000 word paper seemed daunting at times.  So far this has felt fairly easy. Hoping that [...]

NaNoWriMo Day 05

Writing is still going good.  Being ahead last night made todays writing a lot easier.  I’m slightly ahead now too and might continue to write tonight. When I came up with the idea for my book, there was one particular scene that came to mind.  This is the one I’m starting to write.  It is [...]

NaNoWriMo Day 03

Close call this time but I made my word count! Struggled a little bit today mostly because A) I was extremely tired from having a long shift on my first day back from vacation in combination with being tired from Bayside/Senses Fail last night, and B) I kind of wanted to go out to the [...]

NaNoWriMo Day 02

Two days down.  I’m still on goal which is awesome.  It was harder today because I was in a rush to get to the Bayside/Senses Fail show early but I still made it though. Continueing on the writing a past and current story line, I wrote more about the past.  It seems to be going [...]

Reviewing Glass House & The Dead Girl’s Dance by Rachel Caine

I’m going to try to make this a quite review. So since Rachel Caine is due to be in Portland the end of October, touring for the newest book in The Morganville Vampires series, I decided to pick up all the books and attempt to get through them all before the new one.  There is currently [...]

Wall Street Journal bulks up on books…

Book reviews that is.  I just ran across this story so I thought I would share. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100909/ap_on_bi_ge/us_wall_street_journal_book_review To be honestly, I haven’t read a newspaper in some time so I can’t really comment too much on their lack of reviews but I do think it is a good thing that they are adding more.  My [...]

Oh sweet editing

          So I am getting close to being done with my second and well technically third edit.  I printed my first draft out and hand edited it.  From there, I both put the hand edits on the computer and re-edited as I went.           What I’m realizing now is that I have a long way [...]
