Blog Slacker

Photo on 12-22-12 at 1.02 PMHey all. It’s been a while since I blogged. Over a month, according to the homepage. The last post I wrote was in the middle of NaNoWriMo, about reaching the 30,000 word mark and listening to a lot of Hoodie Allen.

I justify it because it’s still MY writing and also at least 70% of this book is new stuff so yeah. Anyways, most of the 3,389 words I wrote today were new as of today.

What I really like about the format in which I am writing this book is that I only have to write my favorite things: internal and external dialog. Internal dialog is done via her blog posts, external is done via IM, text, emails, FB messages, etc. It’s like playwriting but better because playwriting makes it hard to include internal stuff. And that’s my favorite stuff! Continue reading “Hoodie and NaNo”
