Know the Novel Part 3-Dead Magic

Tracey Dyck 14 Comments

Well, guys, I’ve been an inconsistent blogger over the past month and a half, popping in and out of here and skipping some weeks. But the biggest reason for that absence is why we’re here today—to talk about NaNoWriMo ONE LAST TIME! Because naturally, NaNo swallowed up November, and recovery + holiday busyness has made the first half of December rather full as well.

So! I’m using the final phase of Christine Smith’s Know the Novel link-up to chat about Dead Magic: how it went, what happens now, and what I want to say to YOU. (Read to the end! <3 )

Well, well, well, would you look at that! November is ALMOST OVER. It’s been a blur of words, and I missed my usual Saturday update last weekend. But to make up for that, here I am with Know the Novel Part 2—a frabjous linkup by the darling Christine Smith! (You can find Part 1 here and find out what my current work-in-progress, Dead Magic, is all about.)

Before we get started, I must confess: I WON NANOWRIMO.

Whew, the first week of NaNoWriMo 2019 is in the bag! I had noooo idea what to expect from myself. Not only is it my first time participating in the NaNo challenge, but I was wondering if I’d be too stuck in editor brain to even write a messy first draft—especially if I had to write it fast.

Well. It’s messy all right, but I’m actually proud of the progress made!

So today I’m borrowing a page from Christine Smith’s book (pun totally intended) and doing what she does during November: I’m going to give you a fun little recap of the first week. Partly because that’s all I have room for in my head right now, and because this is a way to share what’s on my writing desk with YOU!
