Song of the Week

Phoebe Bridgers, “Motion Sickness”

Happy Monday! It’s the last week of NaNo! One of the first books I ever read, when I was learning to read, was The Little Engine That Could. I feel a bit like the train in that book: “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!” It’s amazing I still remember that mantra after so many years, and don’t remember stuff like…algebra.

I’ll be finishing up Chapter Two of The Well Below the Valley here on Wednesday. I hope you enjoy it; my players certainly did! They were thoroughly spooked and missed almost all the side plots in Chapter Three, they were so determined to stop the cult.

Some bad news in the Twitch department: my internet connection here isn’t strong enough to be able to stream live. It can more or less upload footage, but can’t do it in real time, which means that I won’t be able to interact with anyone in the chat. Streaming is going to be on hold until I can figure out how to fix it.

I hope everyone has an excellent week!

NaNo Update: For the first time this month, I’m actually not behind

37,590 words! I just have to keep this up for another week.

NaNo Update: All Words are Good Words

It’s been a rough week, and I’ve decided to count basically everything I write this month toward my total, regardless of what project it’s for. The good news is, I’m at 24,550 words today, which means I’m almost caught up! There’s a decent chance I can actually complete the challenge!

This was supposed to be a Friday update…

…so you can probably guess how well NaNo is going for me.

I’m at 8,265 words, which means I’m only about halfway as far as I should be at this point. I’ve also moved myself, my husband, our cats, and nearly every single thing we own across town. This week has felt like several months.

I’ve still got three more weeks in November, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to catch up a bit. I may not get to the 50,000 word goal, but that’s okay. I’m still building a good writing routine and making progress on my projects.
