Another National Novel Writing Month has come and gone. Maybe you pushed through and collected your intangible little badge. (I did. Nary a free drink nor swooning supermodel in sight so far. I have been lied to.) Maybe life got in your way and you got distracted. Maybe you stopped caring about your book. Maybe [...]
Nanowrimo Mood Wallpaper, Final Week
by 1 Comment
The final entry in the wallpaper series is a bit tardy, and I apologize for that. It should come as a surprise to no one who participates in Nanowrimo that time can… get away from you a little. As a result, there are a few days missing from the weekly wallpaper, but this one chronicles [...]

by 1 Comment
Break your writing into manageable chunks with a brand-new wallpaper for Week Two of Nanowrimo, covering the next seven days.

New Nanowrimo Wallpaper

Guest Post on WrimosFTW: 10K in a Day
by 2 Comments
I have a guest post over on WrimosFTW! about how I wrote 10,000 words in a day for Nanowrimo a few years ago. These days, such an accomplishment is pretty banal; to get noticed by Nano, people now have to write 20,000 words in an hour on the back of a bus ticket while wearing [...]
The Hailstorm Approach: Prep for Nanowrimo in Seven Days (or Less)
by 19 Comments
So you decided to participate in National Novel Writing Month this year. You’ve kicked around a few ideas and sworn to make an outline. Then things got busy. The kid got sick. You just had to find out if Elise was going to get kicked off Hell’s Kitchen. Your World of Warcraft raid group decided [...]
Even More Nanowrimo Desktop Wallpapers
I wasn’t going to unveil these for a little while, but then I figured, today’s as good a day as any. These five new Nanowrimo wallpaper variants don’t have any humorous intent, but they do have the mounting word count for November. Enjoy!
