I write supernatural, urban fantasy. I am an '80s child with a '90s heart.

Well, I did it. On time? No. But I did it!

@MarkDoesStuff #NaNoPepTalk I was fortunate enough to see you on a panel at the James River Writers conference this year, and now you're sending out a NaNo pep talk! Thanks for words!!

@PhilHilliker I was browsing through West of Apocalypse (Bill Blume) and saw you created the cover art. Fantastic! I was so excited to see your name there!

Two things.

First, as I am reading my previous post MyNoRevisMo, I am realizing the name sounds as though I will do NO revising this month ...

No more Tweet Deck? Ah I see. It's a paid service now? Yeah, I liked Tweet Deck and all, but no. I won't be paying for that. Looks like Twitter (X) is becoming less necessary by the day. That's a NO for me.

Today's writing goal: break down the draft by beats to check the flow. Created a spreadsheet based on Save the Cat! to help me. Updated today and started the process. Excited to do more which is always a good thing!

Been looking for a SS on structure I made in 2021 Based on "Save the Cat! Writes a Novel" by Jessica Brody. I finished my draft in 2022 but lost my glorious SS. Found it today tucked inside a OneNote Notebook. Explains why "search .xlsx" didn't find it.

I am also now on Mastodon. There is a writing community there as well, albeit a bit trickier to find and follow.

Today's writing goal: Compare my draft against a plot structure in Excel. I finished the scenes I needed before moving forward with the editing process, so today, we break the draft down. Gotta make mess to fix a mess.

Today's goal: get passed the reason this scene is dragging. Just write it! Fix it later!

#amwriting #OverThinking #RateLimitExceeded

[Wendy Writes @Crafty_Crafton]

Well, guess I'll still hold myself accountable even though no one can read it.

Yesterday's goal update: I wrote 315 words on the second scene.

How is it the feed for #RateLimitExceeded is rolling along fine, but nothing else is updating?

[Wendy Writes @Crafty_Crafton]

Today's goal: just write. Write something, anything. I am not leaving this room until 1:00pm EST.

[Wendy Writes @Crafty_Crafton]

Well, I did start writing, but I tried in a new location. Let's just say I'll be moving back to my writing desk. I cleared a whopping 300 words today. Yeah, yeah. It's more than I had.

Writing goal today: start the second scene and know where it's going before I stop writing. Forward momentum!

Well... one scene drafted. Just one more and I can move forward with editing the rest of the draft.

Writing goal today: rough draft two scenes I need in order to move forward with edits in the full draft. And..... here we go....

@DNicholsAuthor I don't typically read the acknowledgements. I feel like they are for the people named in them, not the reader.
