I can't believe it's October already. It feels like I just finish writing one of these and then suddenly it's time to write the next one. Well, where to begin - I finished rewatching Gilmore Girls, I've been trying to catch up on a bit of reading and a bit of writing, but I've been … Continue reading PNP 2024, part 3 – Häxan, kapitel 3
So here we are again! It feels like the first of the month comes around quicker every month. In between dog-sitting for my parents and embarking on what must be at least my seventh rewatch of Gilmore Girls, I've somehow still managed to find the time to do a re-write of this. I really couldn't … Continue reading PNP 2024, part 2 – Häxan, kapitel 2
It’s that time again, folks - the wheel of time keeps on spinning, and it’s time to start our preparations for Polyglot NaNoWriMo! For those of you who read my last entry outlining my new posting schedule for the year, please bear with me while I recap for those of you who didn’t. As Polyglot … Continue reading PNP 2024, part 1 – Häxan, kapitel 1
I've been doing Polyglot NaNoWriMo now for more years than I'd care to remember. Every year, I tell myself it'll be different - it won't matter if I miss a few days here and there, I'll be able to catch up; maybe I only need to do half of it, that's better than nothing; I … Continue reading A Polyglot NaNoWriMo success story
It’s been looming over the horizon like a literary zeppelin for quite some time now, but now I can officially say… Polyglot NaNoWriMo 2023 has begun! I’ve spent the past week or so getting acquainted with my characters and writing a short skeleton draft (which is really more of a timeline of events), to prepare … Continue reading Polyglot NaNoWriMo: Tokyo Drift
Well then! Here we are, it's spooky season, it's finally arrived! Time to dust off your DVD copies of Hocus Pocus and start intravenously ingesting pumpkin spice lattes by the gallon. It can't just be me, surely? If you've missed my last two posts, then check out my post from August which explains in more … Continue reading Polyglot NaNoWriMo Preparation, part 3
Well hello there! Come on in, it's cold out there. Well, it's not really, but this whole thing works better if you imagine you're standing in a snowstorm and I'm in here with a blazing log fire and a mug of cocoa with marshmallows for you. Imagined it? Good. It's that time of the month … Continue reading Polyglot NaNoWriMo Preparation, part 2
Well hello there! As you may be aware, every November I run a little thing called Polyglot NaNoWriMo. This basically boils down to a creative writing exercise, where we try to write 200 words per day of a short story (or really anything) in a language that is not your mother tongue. The idea is … Continue reading Polyglot NaNoWriMo Preparation, part 1
Well, here we are again - at year's end, again. Another year, another Polyglot NaNoWriMo attempt, another failure. My choices now are either to be unmotivated and dismiss the whole lot as a bad dream, or keep a stiff upper lip and try to think of it from a different angle. If I try to … Continue reading Another one bites the dust
So, as many of you may have gathered from my not-so-subtle hint dropping over the past month, it's almost time again for Polyglot NaNoWriMo. What's Polyglot NaNoWriMo, you ask? You must be new here! Well, let's start from the beginning. Polyglot NaNoWriMo is, for lack of a better phrase, a writing challenge. It’s a variation … Continue reading Polyglot NaNoWriMo: Preparation Phase
