End and Begin

Posted on December 2, 2012December 2, 2012 by Loni Townsend

Though NaNoWriMo is a challenge to obtain a certain word count in a limited time frame, to me it was much more than that. *Cue sappy music* I won not because my fingers hit so many keys to create a set number of separated letter groups. No, I won because I forged friendships I would’ve…

Spotify

Posted on November 27, 2012November 27, 2012 by Loni Townsend

I decided to join Spotify some time back, but I never really paid much attention to how wonderful a product it actually is. I love music, dance constantly around my living room with my daughter, and have been looking for a decent playlist making system. Well hello! Spotify is great for making a playlist. And…

Victory

Posted on November 17, 2012 by Loni Townsend

I reached 50K. I danced. I celebrated. I patted myself on the back at my great accomplishment. After that, I started thinking about what I had written thus far and realized I didn’t like a character I had chosen to throw in because I didn’t know how to get rid of her and she kept…

Halfway

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Loni Townsend

I have heard of writer’s block. A couple of my critique partners have told me they have it. A nasty thing from the sounds of it. Writer’s block isn’t something I’ve struggled with. Probably because I’m a pantser and my story has been bumbling around in my head for 15 years, scratching and clawing its…

The Cave

Posted on November 4, 2012November 4, 2012 by Loni Townsend

I had tried starting out NaNoWriMo by rewriting the beginning of RotT, just as an experiment to see how it compared. I found that I wasn’t very inspired and dropped that idea 700 words into it. I had already written about 20k worth of content towards RotT prior to November’s start, which doesn’t count towards…

TMinus

Posted on October 31, 2012October 31, 2012 by Loni Townsend

NaNoWriMo commences in T Minus 66 minutes. I have meeted *cough*(yes, I know met is the proper term)*cough* and greeted eleven other local participants and it was an interesting mix of veterans and newbies. From all walks of life, we converged in a pizza parlor with one passion shared among us. Writing. I took my…

NaNoWriMo

Posted on October 17, 2012 by Loni Townsend

Oh dear. What have I done? Was I crazy? I haven’t finished editing my first book. I’ve dedicated myself to critiquing. I have a child and husband at home. And now… I’ve signed up for NaNoWriMo. National Novel Writing Month has one goal. Write a novel, at least 50k words, within thirty days – November…

Welcome to my blog. I post here on Wednesdays most of the time, but you can find me on social media any day of the week. My topics include my stories and writing, life at the Town's End, creating and tinkering with graphics, things I learn and think might be helpful to others, and the occasional amateur photo. Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you around.
