November is here, the winners of the Celebrating All Things Spooky contest have been contacted, and now it’s time for NaNo…

Well, it’s not NaNoWriMo anymore. Like the past two years, I’ll be doing my own “Personal WriMo” and writing a 50,000 word draft in the month of November!

This year, I’ve decided to work on a gothic horror romance… surprisingly not a genre I’ve written a novel in despite how much I like that sort of thing.

I’ve already go the first 3200 words written, and I’m excited for this one!

I’ll track the progress here so you can see how it’s going.

(I’d like to track it in the site header as well, but when I tried that, it wouldn’t display no matter where I tried to put it, so I’ll need to figure out what’s going wrong before I add it.)

What about you? Are you doing any sort of NaNoWriMo replacement this November?

It’s Time for Personal WriMo 2025!

October is finished, this year’s Celebrating All Things Spooky contest winners have been contacted, and… there’s no NaNoWriMo this November.

Last year, I had already decided not to use the official site and did my own Personal WriMo instead, and this year the official NaNoWriMo isn’t even there as an option.

But that’s okay. I’ll just do a Personal WriMo and track it right here once again!

I also have it displayed in the header again, although… I’ll try to see if there’s a way to make the font more readable. At least the progress bar is there.

I’m off to a good start, with just over 6,000 words written at the time of posting this.

Last year I wrote short stories, but this year it’s time for another novel! I have an idea for a romantic mystery novel that I’ve begun work on, something a bit different from my usual stories. Will it hold up for a full 50,000 words? I certainly hope so!

Are you doing any sort of NaNoWriMo-esque challenge this November?

Announcing My Personal WriMo 2024

It’s that time of year again!

Celebrating All Things Spooky 2024 has come to an end, with a close race to the finish for this year’s contest. The winners are in the process of being notified, and that means it’s now time to talk about NaNoWriMo.

Or, in this case, what I’m calling Personal WriMo.

I’ve decided not to use the actual NaNoWriMo site this year, so instead I’ve set up a personal word count tracker right here on my site. You’ll be able to see my progress throughout the month by checking this post.

(I may put it in the header if I can get it to play nice with my Operation Backlog Completion progress bar. We shall see.)

This year, I’ve decided to work on short stories throughout the month, so I technically won’t be writing a novel. However, the overall goal is still the same – 50,000 words to be written in the month of November. I’m especially hoping to get some new pulp fiction stories written.

Speaking of my stories, I mentioned at the start of October that I hoped to bring my Lovecraftian horror novella The Book at Dernier to additional retailers, and I’m happy to say I got that done. You can now buy the ebook copy at multiple places, including Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.

All right, that’s all I have to say about my writing for now… and don’t worry, we will definitely be talking about the exciting Xenoblade Chronicles X news on Monday!

Are you participating in NaNoWriMo or an equivalent event this month?
