Post XXIX: NaNoWriMo 2007

Posted by R. A. Michaels on November 1st, 2007

I had originally not intended to participate in this year’s National Novel Writing Month, but one of my inner voices reminded me that going for the third win would help me in putting more of Mejen Knight’s story on paper.  So, I am throwing out the awful first draft of Knight Commissioned I had rotting [...]

Post XII: NaNoWriMo Post-Mortem

Posted by R. A. Michaels on December 3rd, 2006

I thought I did pretty well during the National Novel Writing Month. I was shooting for 100,000 words as the Evolution Writers site had thrown down the gauntlet for its members to give it a try, but it turned out that I didn’t need 100k words to tell my story. Just a hair [...]

Posted by R. A. Michaels on November 25th, 2006

As you could probably tell from the graphic in the previous post, I won NaNoWriMo 2006!

Inspired by the many, many police procedurals I catch on television, Red Planet Greed [...]

Post V: Flipping the Block

Posted by R. A. Michaels on August 23rd, 2006

Writer’s Block can be incredibly frustrating. As a writer, one must always come to grips with the inevitability of being blocked. It happens to everyone and it’s more common than we wish to admit. A writer who tells me he or she has never been blocked ever is either not a writer [...]

Post II: Ex Populus

Posted by R. A. Michaels on August 17th, 2006

I’ve been working pretty hard these past few months after taking such a long break from writing right after winning National Novel Writing Month. I think writing so much in such a short amount of time might have sucked all the creativity right out of my brain and I needed some time to recharge. [...]
