Crunch Time!

Only three days left in the month of November and that means it's almost the end of NaNoWriMo. I'm currently at 42,000 words. Eight thousand more and I'll be a winner (plus I will have finished EXISTENCE *fingers crossed*) so please excuse me while I dive into my hovel and write, write, write.

Are you doing NaNo? What are you looking forward to in December?

At 4:46 this morning I hit 50K words.

For December I most look forward to the rewrite of my NaNo project, because I quite enjoy rewriting and editing. Also, if I can start in on the next project, that'll be good too!

Good luck with hitting your word count!

Hurrah! You've done far better than I have with writing goals - I had about 15,000 words I wanted to get written, and I have 5,000 left, and I have NO idea if I'm going to get them done or not. Here's hoping!

Congrats! I am positive you can do 8,000 words! I have tried Nano like 4 years in a row but never found the time or the motivation to complete the 50,000 words required so quickly. My ADD starts to act up in the middle of the month...

Anyway, break a leg!

Congrats! You'll make it! I'm so excited for you to be able to type "the end."

I did not do NaNo, but I'm looking forward to totally enjoy the Christmas season, and not running around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to get ready. Oh, wait. I guess I would've had to prepare better if I wanted that to be the case...

Keep up the great work with Nano.

I've just stumbled across this blog. Very cool. I'm a homemaker with little ones who is attempting to write as well. Sanity isn't even on the cards :)

You'll finish 8,000 words easily. There's still time. This December I'm looking forwards to the holidays and starting to revise my two NaNo novels. Yes, I wrote two 50,000 words novel. I'm crazy. But successful.

You can do it!!!

I have used NaNo to finish manuscripts or make good headway on them. So far, two of my three unfinished novels are complete, and I'm almost halfway done with the third one. :D

Did I get you with that click-bait title? I always fall for those dang things. Anyway, this is a regularly (or not so regularly in my case) scheduled update. First and foremost I'd like to draw your attention to a fancy new box on the right-hand side. Yes, I'm starting a newsletter. As of now it won't be more than once a month. I'd love it if you signed up! And oh yeah: There will be a free novella if you sign up! Eventually, because I'm still working on it. Quality, folks. Second, I've started a review group on Facebook. If you like receive free copies of my books in exchange for a review, please contact me! (email: author.jabennett @ gmail.com) Third, I've update my books tab with links, so check that out too if you get a chance. Until next time!

The Noveling Journey

cr: Diter Laskowski This past weekend I spent 10+ hours in a minivan with four small children. One of those children is only eighteen months old. On top of being squirmy, said child had started antibiotics for an ear infection only the day before. He can also scream very loud. As one must do with such an experience, I tried to find the positive. It was either that or breakdown and sob which wouldn't do anyone good. What I came to realize in the anxiety to and from my destination, was that I had been going about noveling all wrong. And trust me, it wasn't a negative thought. One thing I know about road trips is that if I want to get somewhere, I have to keep going. Stopping at Buc-ee's is really fun. It's great to stretch my legs and buy myself some beaver nuggets, but it's not going to get me anywhere. The longer I hang out at Buc-ee's, the later I'll show up. Writing is the same. Not for everyone, but for me it is. Social media is great. I actua...
