The Unlikely Author: Insomnia: Curse or Blessing?
http://theunlikelyauthor.blogspot.com/2013/05/insomnia-curse-or-blessing.html
A blog for all things writerly. Monday, May 27, 2013. Insomnia: Curse or Blessing? It seems to be the plight of many a creator to be an insomniac. Or at least a night owl. Is it really a plight, or is it a good thing? After all, most of the best creating seemingly happens when the sun is on the far side of the earth. Perchance the darkness allows us to focus. Maybe the enzymes produced after a certain level of tired are more suitable for creative thinking. I honestly don't know. View my complete profile.

The Unlikely Author: October 2012
http://theunlikelyauthor.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
A blog for all things writerly. Wednesday, October 10, 2012. The Witch of November. Thy name be NaNoWriMo. Nth is a mouthful). It's that time of year, folks. The undisputed, unrivaled, unparalleled, number one most anticipated literary event of the season. For those unfamiliar with the task, it is an international challenge put forth to creative writers everywhere - write a complete rough draft of a creative novel. If you win, you get tons of bragging rights. Obviously. This year, it's way different.

The Unlikely Author: The best laid plans....
http://theunlikelyauthor.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-best-laid-plans.html
A blog for all things writerly. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. The best laid plans. But NOT in this case! I tell you, my friends, I was worried there at the start. It got a wee bit rough. First of all, I was supposed to be off on November 1. Can you say, Perfect? I was going to write ALL DAY. Then the boss called, asking if I could work on Thursday instead of Wednesday. After the wailing and gnashing of teeth subsided, I cheerily said "Of course! She responded, "Great! More wailing. More gnashing. So, Satu...

The Unlikely Author: Shame on the Moon...
http://theunlikelyauthor.blogspot.com/2012/08/shame-on-moon.html
A blog for all things writerly. Friday, August 24, 2012. Shame on the Moon. Or just shame on me. either one works. Though I'd vastly prefer you blame the moon. Yes, it's confession time. The awful truth is. that my word count is STILL at 2978. I have not written a word since I sprained my wrist. a road block that has been a non-issue for about four days now. But enough on that dreary subject. On to more pleasant things! Such as. well. I discovered a new name for a character in my book! Shame on the Moon.

The Unlikely Author: November 2012
http://theunlikelyauthor.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A blog for all things writerly. Saturday, November 24, 2012. Good Run of Bad Luck. So, my friends, I hate to say this. but I think I've been defeated. At 22,000 words with 7 days left, you'd think I'd be full on forward. And I was. Until I got a busted eardrum. Oh, and I have to keep cotton swabs in my ear to soak up the constant seeping of red ooze. So I'm taking a step back, and I'll resume my writing after I'm fully healed. It was a fun run, and thanks for bearing with me! Final Wordcount: 22,720.

The Unlikely Author: The Write Way to be Creative
http://theunlikelyauthor.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-write-way-to-be-creative.html
A blog for all things writerly. Tuesday, January 8, 2013. The Write Way to be Creative. So, here we are. Start of a New Year, and no two finished novels to show for it. Not a promising start. But, focusing on what I did right. I set a goal, and I made an effort. After all, I did write 24,000 words in the span of three weeks. That is NOT bad at all! So what if life happened and I didn't meet my grand expectations. I still got a helluva lot accomplished! What if I'm just setting myself up for failure?

http://theunlikelyauthor.blogspot.com/2012/11/and-i-would-write-5000-words.html
A blog for all things writerly. Wednesday, November 14, 2012. And I would write 5,000 words. And I would write 2,000 more. Just to be the one who wrote 7,000 words til I couldn't write anymore.". Yes, ladies and gents, I wrote 7,000 words in one day. 7,100 to be exact. That caught me up. I crossed the 18,000 word mark on the same day as the other participants of NaNo who are on time. Of course, they are only writing one novel, but we won't get into that. What would happen if I did that every day?
