NaNoWriMo Day 8, 9, 10 & 11

It can't get any worse. Can it? I'm currently 13,002 words behind. Nothing is worse then knowing you have the time but can't seem to get motivated to write. I've decided to invest in Write or Die for the desktop. If you don't know what it is, it is basically a program which asks how many words do you want to write in how many minutes. If [...]

NaNoWriMo Day 2

I didn't get a chance yesterday to post about the first day. Between having to work around the house and going to a baby shower, I was not able to met the word count for the day. Today is not any better, but at least I do have a day's worth of words in. I just need to spread out the day I'm missing over the entire month. I'm hoping life [...]

Plotting Tonight!

I'm hoping tonight will be a great night. I've decided to use index cards to outline for NaNoWriMo. This is the first time I've used this method. I have three different colors. One for characters, one for plot, and one for miscellaneous information. I just need to find a case to keep them in. But I need to focus on outlining my novel for next [...]

A Day Late

This post is a date late. I was researching a new book idea. I really do hate when I get another idea. I postpone every other book i tried working on. I'm hoping to balance the two out. I'm really enjoying the new idea. The biggest problem right now is finding a new for my main character. Now for my novel I am actually writing, my new word [...]

New Domain

Hi Everyone! I have a new domain name, mmzcreates.com I'm going to enjoy having my own domain. I'll be adding more context to the site as I learn what I'm doing.

Chapter 1 Finished

I'm proud to say I have finished my first chapter in my novel. I'm so excited. It will be edited like crazy once I get there, but at least it is finish. On to the next chapter!

Another Update

I'm proud to say I have been writing on my novel. I've decided to try my hand writing a young adult novel. I have the idea planned and hope to write up to five books. A very grand idea, but there isn't something stopping me from writing it. The only person who can is myself. I'll post again in a few days.

Update

I've been real busy and have not worked all that much on my book. And more than anything, it's being worked out in my head then on paper. You do what you have to do when time is and paper isn't available. I'm hoping to get in some time this weekend, but my sister-in-law is almost ready to give birth. So lets see how it goes.

It's been a long time.

It's been a while since I've written on here. Finishing up school got in my way and my inability to stick to one story line. I really can't focus on just one idea for very long. I keep changing my mind or thinking of something else that holds my attention. It's starting to get on my nerves. I'm done with school and this is the path I want to take [...]
