NaNoWriMo Prep 2019!

October 9, 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

June 15, 2019

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…

100 Word Story: Harmony Forest

September 17, 2018

The green trees stood proudly in the sea of bright young grass. No human footsteps had ever crossed the path, no harsh boot prints had pressed the flowers. Only the squirrels skittered happily, gathering their nuts gratefully from the giving trees, who graced their arms down to them to let them pick enough for a…

Guest Post by Anna: Cali and the Lovedove!

July 11, 2018

Once we were taking Cali on a walk. Cali found a lovedove. Then Cali chased it. And played with it. They were friends. They played together for one hour. And they jumped onto a tree. And then Cali had to go home. But Cali was sad. So we made Cali a stuffed animal of it….

Story Musing

June 30, 2018

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

June 28, 2018

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? …

Poetry: Scared

May 26, 2018

Scared Scared, when the wind blows tight around my neck And the lightning crackles Making tall shadows dance in the midnight black And the glass shatters And the walls move closer around me The floor shakes The lights fall The rain storms on The thunder booms Out threats This is scared.

Poetry: Free Sunrise

May 21, 2018

Never Forget What I saw that one day The sunrise Golden Brighter than anything And I won’t listen anymore Cause I’m free, Freer than ever before When I run to the snow, Where the sun still shines And the shimmering lake Has little ducklings quacking to the rhythm of the sunrise And the beats of…
