I did it. I wrote a total of 50.009 words over the span of 30 days! Out of those 30 days, there were only 2 days where I did not hit the daily goal of 1667 words. That’s how strict this challenge felt. Once I missed the goal once I was pretty much going to … Continue reading NaNoWriMo was a success!

NaNoWriMo 2021 Update #2
We’re now 2 weeks into this challenge and through some unexplainable magic I’m still on schedule. I’m even a little bit ahead, assuming I manage to write enough words today. I’ve written 24499 words so far, and after 15 days I should be at 25000. So if I write a couple hundred today I’ll be … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2021 Update #2
Attempting NaNoWriMo
I’ve heard of NaNoWriMo a long time ago, but I’ve never had the urge to participate in it until recently. For those of you unfamiliar, NaNoWriMo is a yearly challenge where writers are challenged to write 50.000 words or more in the month of November. The idea is to focus on continuously writing without going … Continue reading Attempting NaNoWriMo
Writer’s Fatigue
I think everyone who writes, or does anything creative runs into this a couple of times. And if you don't, well, that's great and I'm definitely not jealous of that.I have a few posts lined up that I want to write, so it's not like I have a writer's block where I don't know what … Continue reading Writer’s Fatigue
The importance of attainable goals
I wanted to write a short post today. Part of what I was originally going to talk about was already mentioned in last week’s post, which you can find here if you missed it. As the title suggests, I think it’s very important to have attainable goals. I have a long history of setting goals … Continue reading The importance of attainable goals
Looking back on Covid
I know what you’re thinking, the coronavirus is still there, and we’re not quite there yet, and you’re totally right. But after almost 18 months of worry, pessimism and anxiety, I think it’s good to start looking forward again with optimism. As of posting this, I’ve had both shots, and in a week from now … Continue reading Looking back on Covid
5 Chapters later
So it’s been a while since I started posting chapters of the story I’ve been writing for a while: The Necromancer’s Daughter. This isn’t the first draft of this story and will by no means be the last. With that out of the way, this is a version I’m quite happy with. The first arc … Continue reading 5 Chapters later
I wrote 1000 words a day for 100 days straight
And this is what I learned. When I started this year I’d just finished my first year of having a reasonable amount of writing output. I’ve been writing stories on and off for the past (almost) 20 years, but ever since I started getting a bit older I’ve been struggling. As those of you who … Continue reading I wrote 1000 words a day for 100 days straight
Originality in Fiction
I have been writing stories for a very long time now. The first time I put pen to paper as a hobby was when I was only 9 years old. That’s almost 2 decades ago now, I think I’m getting old. Back then I had a little writing club with some of my friends. I … Continue reading Originality in Fiction

“She’s gone over to the other side, hasn’t she?” he asked sorrowfully.Ianari stood behind him, at the top of the riverbank, staring off into the distance with him.“She left not too long after she arrived. Said that she didn’t want to stay here and watch you grieve.”“I suppose it’s for the best. She wouldn’t approve … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter Chapter 4: A mind made up (old version)
