Day 17 of NaNoWriMo

I think besides the ‘Write or Die’ tool one of the best things I’ve done zo far is not to calculate. Because when I calculate how much words I have to write every single day until I meet the 50k goal on November the 30th, I kind of paralize. It’s demotivating. Instead of this I [...]

NaNo Day 16 – Talking to me?

Finally day 16 of NaNoWriMo is over and I can’t wait to make my next video public. Just like yesterday it is uploading to Viddler while I am sitting here and write these post. For my followers I hope they don’t read my blog before they saw the video, because my wordcount is shown in [...]

Day 15 of NaNoWriMo

Today I made a very short update video regarding my wordcount. The reason is that I used my sparetime today to write on my novel, like I should have done earlier this month. I learned that for me the best use of the ‘Write or Die’- tool is when I choose to write 300 words [...]

NaNo Restart

[/caption] If NaNo wouldn’t have been a challenge until now, than it finally would be (and is) right now. Especially when you look at the wordcounts of all the fellow NaNo-writers.

Let The Craziness Begin

I just got e-mail van the Benelux-team of NaNoWriMo that I officially may start with my novel. It’s now a quarter past one here in the Netherlands and I am positive that I just can begin writing a story without any problem. Just start and see whats happening. No problem in fact, even though I [...]

NaNoWriMo Horror!

Just a couple of days to go and I still have no clue what to write.  But I would not be Mario if I wouldn’t find a solution for this. Maybe it’s an addiction to the Law of Parkinson (read ‘The 4 hour Work Week’ about it) that makes me procrastinate things to the last [...]

Kindle Questions From Holland

OK, Oprah got one for free and I have to admit I envy her (lol). Of course I don’t envy her. This kind of feelings are not implemented in my system, I think, but I am really curious about this Kindle thing and I am at this very moment trying to figure some things out. [...]
