  The Spicy Cauldron — Authority: 129
  Okay, so we all know bragging is not the most appealing of things to do. It’s only a one time thing, so bear with me okay? I’ve had my words so far validated by the text robot on the NaNoWriMo website and it returned this lovely image and a link for me to download my winner’s certificate. I also get access to ...

• Under Water With Only Five Days Left

  
  green | rising — Authority: 118
  Naming these posts is difficult. I’ve just been combining words and phrases for the topics being discussed into something that doesn’t really make sense by itself. This could be “my thing”.25,000 words down and 25,000 left to go. Hitting the halfway mark felt good, though I wish I did it about ten days ago. ...

  The Realm of Ryan — Authority: 124
  The word-count validation machine at National Novel Writing Month ’s website went up a few hours ago, so I got an “official win.” The real prize of writing a novel is the first draft of a novel, of course, but NaNoWriMo provides a silly little PDF certificate (and, honestly, this year I think NaNoWriMo admin ...

• Brain on Vacation

  
  WILD ABOUT WORDS — Authority: 127
  Try as I may, I could not get my brain to fully engage in writing. I sat at the computer three different times today for long stretches, but alas . . . my gray matter pooped out on me. I suspect my brain is secretly working out a plot problem, but then again, it might just be sipping margaritas on a cruise ship ...

  DarcKnyt — Authority: 422
  I know it’s in my nature to write.  To want to write, anyway.  But getting to the keyboard and actually turning something out has proven to be a challenge, and not in a good way.The why behind not writing has, therefore, been very mysterious to me.  No matter how I tried I just couldn’t [...]

• NaNoWriMo RE: Traditional Torture Thread & a Look Behind the Scenes at The Pearl Necklace

  
  EK's Star Log — Authority: 136
  Veteran NaNoers know that the best place to go to find unique and creepy was to kill off your characters if by heading to the: Traditional Torture Thread where authors tell how they torture their characters in their novels. I personally never visit the thread, seeing how I’m never at a loss of ways to [...]
