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 →

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.

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.

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 →

Kaylirr’s Yin & Yang Part 3 – Conclusion (Draft)

This post was supposed to be the conclusion to Kaylirr’s story. I was however unable to create a good story out of it.

I am revisiting Kaylirr’s story in the near future, but he will be a part … Continue reading Kaylirr’s Yin & Yang Part 3 – Conclusion (Draft) →

You’re the inspiration

You’re the meaning in my life, you’re the inspiration. I don’t think I’m the only one who experiences this feeling. Writing is my passion. I love thinking of stories, writing about things I like, creating worlds, stories and characters. But when it comes to actually putting those on paper, I struggle. For years I would … Continue reading You’re the inspiration →
