Always quirky, sometimes sweet speculative fiction
Yesterday I passed the 30,000 word milestone for NaNoWriMo. This was in no small amount thanks to the local NaNo retreat I went on and the 12,000 word day I had on Saturday.
12,000 words! In one day!
Oh man, I wish I had more days where I could sit down and do nothing but write. It makes me want to be a full-time writer even more.
Also, stickers are still an amazing incentive, even in your thirties ;p
Thanks to the Brisbane municipal liaisons and all their effort organising a fantastic weekend.

That’s so awesome! Congratulations! I have never had a 12,000 word day, but now I’m thinking it might be awesome to attempt to hit a word count day high. Good challenge 🙂
Faith recently posted..Happy Halloween!
Thanks Faith, the only downside is will I ever have another day that prolific? I do feel a bit like Wonder Woman after pulling that off though.
