Profile

I'm an aspiring writer and a passionate reader. I have not always loved books, but I have always loved stories. If they were not in my own head, they were in the movies I watched, the pictures I studied and the songs I loved.

If I am not frantically writing, struggling to edit, or lying face down somewhere trying to do one of those things, I am usually reading, binge-watching some animated series, seeing a musical, or playing board games with a group of nerds.

How I Smashed My NaNoWriMo Goals

What is NaNoWriMo? NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, which occurs in November each year. It’s a program designed for writers (or would-be writers or never-before writers or anyone who wants to give it a go) to aim and accomplish the goal of writing a novel in a month (or 50,000 words of it). By signing up, you can use the website to set milestones, record progress, and interact with other writers on the same journey. Goal-setting and Storyline NaNoWriMo creates a great opportunity for writers to reach a word count goal. For some, it means dedicating some time to that their current Work-In-Progress, for others it’s a chance to write something new they’ve been thinking about, for some it’s an opportunity to try writing something for the very first time, and for a few it might be a chance to challenge oneself and start November with a prompt and a story they’ve never thought about before and just START WRITING. The Experience My first (and only)...

Getting Back to Writing After a Long-Term Hiatus

Journal Entry #1 10 th January, 2019 Fortnight at a Glance The last two weeks have been very fulfilling. After a very long break, I am finally back to working on my current project. It has been almost two years without writing and not much reading. It’s not that I did nothing, it’s that I went from writing every day to writing something maybe once or twice a month. My project was in the final stages of editing and yet I couldn’t bring myself to work on it and I’d never felt less like a writer because I simply didn’t want to do it. I worried my passion had died. In the last two weeks, however, I got back to it. I’ve been writing/editing every day and, best of all, I am enjoying it again. I read so many blogs and articles about getting back after a hiatus, all with good advice, but I was so disheartened about writing that I couldn’t even summon the energy to do the steps to get back at it. Very similar to my reading habits. It took a bit of pushing on my end...
