*spoiler alert* I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan, and I was super excited when we got tickets as our Christmas present to go see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! I have loved Harry Potter since I was in kindergarten. When I found out that there would be another story about Harry, Hermione, and Ron,…

NaNoWriMo Prep 2019!
It’s almost November, and I’ve been doing a lot of prep for NaNoWriMo. Read to see how I’ve been preparing! Usually I plan a bit for NaNoWriMo (and sometimes don’t think of an idea until November 1), but this year I have been doing a lot of prep. Last Camp NaNoWriMo, I quit (read about…
Tips for NaNoWriMo
I’ve done NaNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo six times now. I haven’t won every time – I’m pretty sure it’s mostly fails. But I’ve learned a lot about how to win – or lose but still feel like you wrote well – NaNoWriMo. Read my other posts about NaNoWriMo here. What Even is NaNoWriMo and How…

Okay, I’ve hit 5,000 words! For Camp NaNo so far, I think I’ve been doing…okay. (FYI, I changed my goal from 30,000 words to 25,000 words) I have been writing about Johnny the Fairy Godbrother, and right now one of my characters is yelling at everybody else that they shouldn’t be hiding and that they…
Story Musing
This year for Camp NaNoWriMo, I will be most of the time in Scotland and some time in England. Luckily, I was able to find a story idea (exactly one day before Camp NaNoWriMo!)–an old idea but turned into a (hopefully) 30,000 word novel. It will be about this ten year old boy named Johnny,…
100 Word Story: Truly
The night is dark, but not to her. With her thick black fur and blinding white teeth, she is one with the night. Everybody feared her, with her black paws that hid long dagger nails, and her yellow-green eyes that could blaze through the night. But was she truly scary? Was her teeth so violent? …
