2012 Book Wrap Up

It's been a long year for me with lots of mammoth reads including a few from Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series and Cronin's second book in the Passage Trilogy.  So without further ado, here's the 2012 book wrap up (with December's books included in the mix). Books Read:  52 Rivers of London … Continue reading 2012 Book Wrap Up

It’s over, over, over, over and done!

I am DONE with my NaNoWriMo novel.  I hit 50k this evening, the ultimate goal and, while my story is nowhere near finished plot-wise, I've hit the 50k and I'm going to stop for a while.  I need to take a break from intense writing, at least for a while.  I may pick back up … Continue reading It’s over, over, over, over and done!

Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 17

I'm like, <this> close to 35k... it's almost scary.  4,000 words today...  I've been listening to a compilation CD today called Appalachia:  Music From Home which has been a huge inspiration.  I'd forgotten how much I loved old bluegrass and gospel, like Ralph Stanley's "Gloryland", which has actually made a feature in my NaNo novel! Ladies … Continue reading Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 17

Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 15 and 16

I missed last night, partially because I decided I was ahead enough to have a social night.  And also partially because I just wanted a normal night without word sprints and blog posts. Anyhow, I've cracked 30k.  Only 20k left to go.  We're getting there! If you’re interested in getting in touch, tweet me at @stephanie_khani or @londondiaries1.  … Continue reading Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 15 and 16

Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 14

Ba-bam, there ya go, folks! Nearly 28k today.  Hurrah for that. The ultimate plan?  30k by Friday afternoon and then 35k by the end of the weekend.  40k by Thanksgiving and then into the homestretch for the final 10k by the following Tuesday.  Ambitious?  Yes.  Best laid plans, and all that.  But I'm nearly there!! … Continue reading Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 14

Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 13

I've surpassed the 25k barrier.  I'm halfway there, 2 days ahead of schedule.  Give me strength. No image tonight.  I'm tired and dinner (a salad, belch) is ready.

Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Days 9, 10 and 11

I know, I know... I said I was going to do this every day but by the time I've had five minutes free over the last few days I've been too tired or distracted to put up a post.  I've hit the 22k mark and I'm very happy with that!  I'm just over two days … Continue reading Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Days 9, 10 and 11

Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 7

Not as productive on the word count today but still ahead of the game after having passed 15k.  I'm at a write in tomorrow night so that should give me a bit of a boost.  I'm really too tired to work too much more on the novel tonight. If you’re interested in getting in touch, … Continue reading Adventures in Madness – NaNoWriMo Day 7
