More Shakespeare

Leave a Comment / Personal Updates, Writing / ellenmrozek

My binge is complete.  I have everything finished, I’m caught up in the class, and my grades are pretty damn good.  Hallelujah! In other news, I’ve had an 8-10 page essay assigned for Victorian Literature that is due–you guessed it–right in the middle of Nanowrimo.  That might very well kill me.  On the plus side, it’s

Writing and Shakespeare

Leave a Comment / Personal Updates, Writing / ellenmrozek

I’ve been doing a ton of writing lately, to the point where it’s become hard for me to focus on homework and, you know, practical things.  I’ve finished writing chapter thirteen of The Lost, which was super difficult because of the subject matter.  I seem to be writing a fair amount of scenes with violence

Leave a Comment / Personal Updates / ellenmrozek

So, my week is officially over, and in spite of having been awakened at seven so I could work out Shakespeare stuff at, oh, 8:15 in the morning, I’m in a pretty good mood.  I’ve been steadily churning out homework since I got home at 10:45 or so, which is both great and completely necessary.

So, much to my own shock and surprise, I’ve already rewritten chapter one of The Recruited, which is the first novel in my Nowhere to Hide trilogy.  It literally got done on top of my character journal entries last Friday night/Saturday morning.  I think I wrote over seven thousand words on Friday, which resulted in

News on the Nano front!

The new Nanowrimo website is up and running!  I suppose I don’t need to elaborate upon how excited this makes me.  I may decide to update my information tonight, just to avoid putting off doing homework.  (Who am I kidding, I’d be updating because it’s fun!)  I have an outline for this year’s story, minor

. . . that I finished the 100 Drabbles of Summer Challenge with seven days to go!  Rock and roll, baby! Funny how I feel as though I’ve just gotten my life back.  Just in time to start on another writing project.  Massive sigh.  My work here is never done.   Still, I AM TRIUMPHANT.

Wow, this may be the first actual blog-like entry I’ve posted in months.  I mean, I’ve been a regular here with the 100 Drabbles of Summer Challenge, and various memes, as well as at  community, where I’m posting.  But still, I haven’t much kept up my blog because, really, when you’re trying to do as
