NaNo Lessons Four —

There Are No More Wants, Only NeedsI wanted to be lazy. I wanted to watch TV all day in my pajamas. I wanted to write something, but not my novel. Anything else besides my damn novel. I wanted to clean my room, to unpack my suitcase, to wash clothes. I wanted to organize my rope, […]

NaNo Lessons Three —

RoutineIt was important for me to create a routine when it came to my writing. Having a lightweight netbook helped me to carry around my novel wherever I went, but it also gave me the illusion of always being able to write. But I couldn’t write when I was working. Or when I was driving. […]

NaNo Lessons Two —

Watch The CalendarNaNoWriMo gave me a set amount of time to write the first draft of a novel: thirty days. I thought about working on an existing piece I’d started a while back, but no. NaNoWriMo is about one novel and thirty days. This gave me two things I needed. 1- A set deadline and […]

NaNo Lessons One —

I did it. I wrote a novel in a month. That was big and heavy and hard. Not surprisingly, having endured twenty-seven days of wordcount hysteria, I learned a few lessons along the way. The first, surprisingly, mimics one of the goals I set for myself at the beginning of this year.EnduranceNaNoWriMo lasts an entire […]

Three Notes On My Poly Adventure —

This one came as recommendation from a friend and I am loving it. The podcast is called Pedestrian Polyamory. Our hosts […]

Shadow Career —

Sometimes I hate my job. I know this is true of most people. I suppose it’s been true of just about every job I’ve had. There comes a point when all I want to do is scream at someone or to someone. I need to release my pain. I need to tell people how much […]

Little Moments —

“There were so many times tonight when all I wanted to do was grab you by your hair and push you down onto my cock.”“There were about a dozen times when all I wanted to do was drop to my knees, unzip your pants, and suck on your cock.”I was frustrated. The Meet & Greet had been […]

Poetic’s Spring Break —

I’m taking a vacation. I’d planned for this year to be amazing: lots of events, traveling all over. Though Winter Fire was my first event this year, it feels like my real adventure is just about to start. At 6am on Sunday, I’ll be flying on my first plane in eleven years. First I’m visiting PrincessA […]

More Important —

Hanging out with the roommates and their kids was more important than writing. I had spent a little time with the kids before work on Saturday, and had opted to fill my unexpectedly free Saturday night with adult activities. I wanted to spend time with them and the roommates. I wanted to hear their stories […]
