A day by day account of my 2014 Nanowrimo journey.
NaNoWriMo for those of you who don't know is a challenge to write 50,000 words in a month. That month is November, and for over ten years writers have been gathering together to attempt this feat.
I first heard of NaNoWriMo in 2013, I managed to complete the challenge that year and the draft I wrote will form part of the second Portal Wars book. More importantly the challenge kickstarted my writing, showing me what was achievable if I applied myself to the challenge.
This year I will be drafting my new book Cleansing River, and hope to share a slightly edited version as I progress through the month. I am aiming to complete the entire story this time round but will be happy with writing 20,000 words if life gets very busy. After all its the taking part that counts not the winning.
For more information about NaNoWriMo have a look on their website.

The only thing she knows is true anymore is that the dragon needs to die... (An adventure in High Fantasy, Magic, Dragons, MuseFic, Meta, and other fancy things.) ~*~*~*~*~ This is the daily(ish) posting of my 2017 NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) fantasy novel. Since last year worked out well, this year's attempt will also be a combination of MuseFic and proper rough draft. The story will be completed at the end of November... even if the story isn't really complete! ;)Complete

Illogies Un
A few seasons ago, I participated in NaNoWriMo with the goal of writing a story a day for the entire month of November. I was able to do this and ended up with well over 50,000 words for the month. This book ended up with around 43K words, but it is missing a few stories. I didn't want to put anything that goes with "Pearls of the Mother" in the "Illogies." Each day I sat down to write, I had a different mood or something else I was thinking about, and I let that guide my writing process. I think a couple of these may end up with follow-on stories or maybe even books of their own. I hope you enjoy these; I know I do.Complete
The Path Of Glory (Annabeth Chase x Male Reader)
"You will be glorious. You will be my glory." Y/N's life was quiet before that day. What day? The day a giant snake tried to kill him. Then it became really weird for sure. First, a lightning bolt was stolen. How is that even a thing? Y/N didn't know either yet he found himself on a quest to turn it up. After that, a tree went sick, and more than from a cold. Y/N couldn't even enjoy the winter holidays that followed since a goddess found herself in danger. Then he fell into a labyrinth. Finally, he fought in the infamous battle of Manhattan. Oh, and did I say this is only the first act of his story? You think I'm talking rubbish, don't you? Well, come on, follow me on the story of Y/N! Discover what he did and what he got out of it. Percy Jackson doesn't belong to me, this story has been written by Rick Riordan and is his. I use it only to create my own. #1 in reader (22/01/2022) #1 in xmalereader (18/02/2022) #1 in thelightningthief (12/03/2022) #1 in quest (04/04/2022) (25/05/2023) (27/08/2023) (03/08/2024) (01/09/2024) #1 in annabethchase (03/05/2022) (23/08/2022) #1 in annabethxreader (31/07/2022) (25/10/2022) (04/09/2023) (01/09/2024) #1 in olympians (04/12/2022) Thank you!Complete
Creator: Friend or Foe?
This story began as a NaNoWriMo 2012 work, with no planning, and even less idea of plot. I learned from that experience that I am not a 'pantser' -and spent about 20 painful months trying to turn my stream-of-consciousness 3-stories-in-one into one coherent novel, following the timeline and events in the Book of Genesis. I discovered that that is not a great way to build a plot. I ended after 5 more drafts, at about 60k words. There is another draft on my blog, slightly longer, a bit more experimental. This is only meant to be a marker of progress. I hope some may find it enjoyable, useful, and even helpful. If interested in the 6th draft: https://shiradest.wordpress.com/2014/12/20/martin-luther-king-rabbinical-commentary-poster-inspired-a-novel/ Peace, ShiraComplete![The Calm and the Storm [#NaNoWriMo15]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/44446264-256-k745324.jpg)
The Calm and the Storm [#NaNoWriMo15]
Atticus Deane was just a boy; a broken, misguided boy. It was an accident; no one told him how to play life's game. He had to make up his own rules, but where did that get him? In an abusive relationship with his older brother and all his bad friends. That wasn't what he bargained for. But Atticus left that life behind; he was rebuilding a new apartment and doing the same with a new life. Well, trying. Atticus and his brother never got along after their parents left. He never spoke a word to his brother if it weren't mean and cruel, which was why a request to join in on his big brother's 'fun' and 'games' was a surprise to everyone, much less himself. But when things are taken way too far, Atticus is suddenly running and ends up at the doorstep of an unusual compound that sparks something in his instincts. Taking refuge away from the poison of others, Atticus knew that he couldn't hide forever, but he'd do anything to be left alone so he didn't have to hide anymore. Unfortunately he wasn't the only resident in this newly-found dwelling, because this newcomer wanted the exact same thing that he did.Complete
