NaNoWriMo | Camp NaNo. Get Lost. Write.

hafsah March 16, 2015 Uncategorized0 Comments

That’s exactly what I need. To be told to Get lost and Write. Because, seriously, there is no way on earth I’m going to be able to edit those awful 50,000 words I wrote in November unless I do NaNo again. Oh I tried, in our Facebook group, NaNoWrimo for …

I set up this blog last year as a change from my old blog where I was only reviewing books and period dramas. I wanted to dedicate a space for my own writing; I felt that blogging about about the work of others was holding me back from my own …

NaNoWriMo| Musings of a Winner

hafsah December 17, 2014 Uncategorized0 Comments

Yes, I won NaNoWriMo this year! It’s been over two weeks since the climatic moment and this blogpost is the first piece of writing I’ve done since. I’ve needed that break as I’ve been writing like a crazy person (perhaps that’s just what writers do?). Actually, that’s a lie. I would have …

NaNoWriMo 2014

hafsah October 27, 2014 Uncategorized0 Comments

It’s NaNo month already?! The last year has literally swooped past and here I am again… National Novel Writing Month starts in four days and I am literally shaking in my boots. Which is crazy, because this my third year of NaNo and it should really be routine by now. …

NaNoWriMo 2013

hafsah October 29, 2013 Uncategorized0 Comments

It’s that time of year again: National Novel Writing Month starts in two days and unlike last year’s spontaneous decision to join the night before, I’m much more prepared this year. That might possibly be because I’m writing the same novel as last year. Or rewriting, should I say. The …

NaNoWriMo | Update

hafsah December 7, 2012 Uncategorized0 Comments

And so the National Novel Writing Month came to an end on Friday 30th November. I didn’t even come close to the 50,000 word count but I already knew it was an extremely ambitious target. I did, however, hit the 20,000 word mark and I am so pleased with myself …

I signed up for NaNoWriMo!!

hafsah October 31, 2012 Uncategorized0 Comments

…that’s National Novel Writing Month, if you didn’t know. The idea is that thousands of writers and would-be writers across the world write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days in the month of November. Sounds crazy, right? The truth of the matter is that I need a huge kick …
