When I won National Novel Writing Month, I was super happy. So happy, in fact, I wrote this scene for the last scene in my novel: “Hey what’s this?” Rika asked, stopping at a particular news channel. On it, a brunette was standing behind a podium, giving a speech. AJ sat next to her on [...]

So, November rolls around and everything seems like it’s softly declining into the realm of December. The drugstores have lazily put Halloween and Christmas displays right next to each other, the irony of the juxtaposition not lost on the customers. November, Turkey Month, or that placeholder month between winter and fall really isn’t lifechanging. For [...]

Embarking on the journey that is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is like trying to domesticate a squirrel. You end up with some scratches and possibly a black eye or two, but in the end you uncover something valuable about yourself: your unhealthy obsession with seemingly friendly woodland creatures is a bit dangerous. So this [...]

Productivity. Progress. Working under pressure. Goal-setting. These are the skills that a month of novel writing will sharpen and perfect. Even if you’re not a writer, and you don’t plan on becoming one, spending a little alone time with your imagination for a month benefits you more than you can believe. As a novelist myself, [...]

During the creation of my 120 paged literature piece, I stumbled across an important question. Is there a website out there that lends a hand to all of us leap-year impaired souls out there who can’t for the life of themselves remember when it is a leap year? Why yes! http://isitaleapyear.com/

Writing a novel in thirty days is harder than you think. Fifty thousand words don’t write themselves, apparently, and I spent forever trying to type out my novel as I tried to keep my ankle elevated and iced. It was very difficult to type. So currently I have stranded my character in the middle of [...]

When I’m sitting here, attempting to type out a 50k word novel, the last thing I think about is peace while I’m trying to decide which character to kill off first. I rarely think about it as I terrorize anyone within a fifty feet radius of my writing space to give me a chapter title, [...]

November is here, and you can be sure that your very own Rika is spending many hours typing out her… interesting plot that includes segway chase scenes, herds of elephants, and a box. A square box. Don’t know what I’m talking about? NaNoWriMo, of course! Read about it here. Rika has put together a little [...]

National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo. It’s the month where us writers spend 30 days in a harried attempt to write 50,000 words of [...]
