There are no accidents as they say. So it is no accident that I got an e-mail from Red Room about NaNoWriMo after a friend and I discussed how we need to make our writing a priority.
We are both two rather busy people who live in two different and rather busy cities. As we had this discussion via...

"I've just finished day 2 of NaNoWriMo, and as is my way with any big writing project, I'm keeping a log.
My writing log is just a file where I store the word count for the day along with the running total. I also include a few thoughts or impressions of the writing session and a sense of...

Here it is November first and I'm having a raging internal argument about NaNoWriMo 2008. I had just about decided that there wasn't a novel in me, and then I discovered Red Room 10 days ago. Thanks a lot, Red Room.
Is anyone else having this internal dialogue?
-I just became a member. Can't I...

As a member of the Red Room (something I am actually quite proud of, which shows the direction my life is currently moving), I received an e-mail "inviting" me to WRITE A NOVEL IN NOVEMBER.

I've heard people say most newspaper writers have unfinished novels in their desks. I'm guessing the only reason that so many are unfinished is because the don't have a yelling, red-faced, spit spraying editor telling them to finish writing.
I'm going to try to do this NaNoWriMo thing. I hope my...

In spite of these tears that will not stop, it is a beautiful morning. The sun spills golden light across the meadow grass, where a dozen ravens have spread out to search for food. Off to one side, both a magpie and a stellar's jay are perched in a lone ponderosa pine, watching. The sky over the...

Hello fellow writers,
I'm sure everyone is geared up for NaNoWriMo and have cleared their schedules as much as humanly possible in order to accomplish such an amazing feat. So now the question is, do you have your story planned out as well? I am going to be continuing my second novel Through the...

This sounded like a fun challenge, and I do mean challenge. I've barely gotten through a few short stories, due to my attention span and time constraints. But I like the "no excuses" mantra and today, I'm abandoning all excuses. We'll see how far I get into November before I die of a...
