Night Gal vs Morning Gal

Mur Lafferty — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 13:40:21 +0000

Remember in Calvin and Hobbes when Calvin created a machine to clone himself so his clone could do his work while he went out to play? But when the clones came out, they were all as irresponsible as Calvin, thinking THEY should be the ones to play while HE did the homework.

A while back, [...]

NaNoWriMo Stumbles and Lulls

Mur Lafferty — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 15:15:42 +0000

Day 3. Day 2 was tough, as I had a column due, had to get my kid early from school because she was sick, then had to hit the doc and the pharmacy, then puppy training class, then we had game night. I had a migraine and was loopy on meds come 11pm. [/excuses]

BUT. [...]

And so it begins…

Small NaNo break, Podcasts you need

Mur Lafferty — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:11:17 +0000

I am taking a small break from NaNoWriMo this weekend. Working on two novels is taking too much out of me, and I need to finish one before I really dive into the other one. Come Monday I’ll be approx. 5k words behind. I gotta be ready to take up that slack. I’d feel bad [...]

NaNoWriMo Reality Check

Mur Lafferty — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:04:49 +0000

I follow a lot of agents on twitter, and apparently many of them look forward to December with trepidation. That’s when “novels” that are 50K or so, rough, unedited, and sloppy, hit their desks.

I find this unbelievable. Not that the agents dread it, and not that it happens, but that so little common sense [...]

NaNoWriMo – it’s on

Mur Lafferty — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:49:22 +0000

November 1-

Status- Well, October didn’t go as planned. I allowed the manuscript edits of Project Underground to intimidate me so I didn’t start till late in the month. And once I started, various hiccups during the last week, not to mention planned AFK time for Halloween and our 11 year anniversary, derailed what work [...]
