Apart from reading, I love writing! Anything writing related – short stories, updates on my books, etc – will go here.
A little while ago, I read Writing is my Drink by Theo Pauline Nester. It was interesting, but out of all the exercises that she mentioned, the 26 Minute Memoir was the one that intrigued me the most. Basically, you set a timer for 26 minutes and try to sum up your life. So here’s… Read More #26minutememoir
I don’t really know how to announce this, so I’m just going to come right out and say it – I’ve self-published my first novella! The Nutcracker King was one of the stories that I wrote for last year’s NaNoWriMo rebel project, and after one year of rewriting, fiddling with the sentences, and general procrastination… Read More The Nutcracker King – Published!
Today, I’ve validated my NaNo WIP and am officially a winner!! I’m not sure, but I think this is the earliest that I’ve validated the novel. I’ve normally validated only on the last day, so this is a pleasant feeling. This is the first year where I used an outline system, and I think that… Read More NaNoWriMo 2015 Winner!!
Ok, I’m a little late this week, but that means I have exactly one week to go. And right now, my word count is at 43,280 which puts me at almost three days ahead of the whole thing!! I’ve been averaging about 2000 words these past few days (except when I had the headache), but… Read More NaNoWriMo 2015: Week 3
And with my week 2 update, I can say that I’m back on track!! I’ve made it to 24076 words, which means that I’m slightly over the target for today! It’s been a tough week – I’ve managed to write a bit more than 1667 per day most of the time, but there were days… Read More NaNoWriMo 2015: Week 2
I have realised that this blog has turned into the occasional writing update. (Also, I need to update about how the editing went… all those months ago ><) But anyway, I’m participating in NaNoWriMo again this year, and here’s my Week 1 update: Word Count: 10,085 I’m 1581 words behind, as of today, and that’s… Read More NaNoWriMo 2015: Week 1
I’m not the type of person that falls asleep quickly. Sometimes, words come into my brain, and I have to write them down. I didn’t know where this micro-fiction/vignette should go, so I figured that for now, its home is here. Reflection Today I went into the mirror.My reflection tried to stop me, but I… Read More Micro Fiction – Reflection
Week 2 of NaNoWriMo is over! How is everyone doing? I hope you’re meeting the wordcount goals! I’m really happy with how my NaNoWriMo is going so far. I’m a few days ahead now, which means that everything is going ahead as planned. I won’t be able to write from the 19th to the 24th… Read More NaNoWriMo Week 2 Update
I am officially a 2014 NaNoWriMo winner! That makes it three years in a row! And I think this is the year that I finished the fastest, and with the most number of “vacation” days. I only started on the 2nd, and I took 5 days off last week to go on holiday. I’m really… Read More NaNoWriMo 2014 Winner!
The first week of NaNoWriMo is over! Happily, I’m caught up on the wordcount requirement, which is great because I didn’t start writing until the second. I should have taken a screenshot last night. My average was much higher :p I didn’t get to mention this before I started NaNoWriMo (my cousin was here, so… Read More NaNoWriMo Week 1 Update
