Starcat’s Favorites: Inside the Creative Cave
As much as I (used to?) talk about the cold time of year not being my favorite, I’ve come to appreciate this season we’re entering. It’s the ideal time for holing up inside the Creative Cave. Besides writing (which gets intensified during NaNoWriMo), I have some other favorite creative pastimes. My favorite hobbies include papercrafts […]
New Habits: NaNoWriMo Days 20-24
NaNoWriMo, November 2020, DAY 20 – 2137 words Dear Diary, Today BlackLion and I ran our second Writing Sprints Session on Discord with a couple of my book coaching clients.

Sure, I could have done sprints on my own (or with whoever else was on […]
Robots Need Words Too: NaNoWriMo Days 1-4
NaNoWriMo, November 2020, DAY 1 – 0 words Dear Diary, Recently I looked back over last November’s blog series I wrote about doing National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo).
