What I'm Writing: My YA HIST is going SLOW. I keep telling myself it's because I know more now but it might just be because I didn't sign up for Nano! I decided I wanted my word count goal for this one to be closer to 70K, so I am giving myself to the end of December. Right now I am at 20K, so I better pick up the pace!
What Works for Me: I'll tell ya what works for me... MY NEW MACBOOK AIR! It is a dream, people. A beautiful, shiny, silver dream. It's lightening on it's feet, and my fingers fly across the keys. Compared to my old laptop... You have no idea. One time it took me forty minutes just to open Scrivner on that beast. So I am loving my new equipment. What shall I name her?
What Else I've Been Up To: As mentioned above, I got to go to SCBWI conference in Kansas. It was so amazing and inspiring. When I think back at going to conference last year, I can be really proud of all the writing progress I have made! I felt like a real author this time around!
What's up with you?
yay for a new Macbook. I hear great things about the Air!! :) And I love the book HATE LIST. Maybe it's time for me to reread soon. Sounds like the SCBWI Conference was a blast!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to a writing conference one day, it sounds like yours was great!
ReplyDeleteThe Hate List sounds great, I'll add it to my TBR.
Ooooh, shiny new laptop sounds delightful. What a perfect device to crank out 50k by the end of December!
ReplyDeleteHave a brilliant week :D
I love new computers! I just got a new one myself and it's making me want to spend all of my time on it lol. That's great when you're a writer, right? I read HATE LIST awhile back and remember enjoying it. Good luck with your WiP and getting all those words down before the year ends. Have a great week, Niki! :D
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate about the new computer. Last spring I spilled tea on my old, clunker laptop and had to get a new one. Turned out to be a fortunate accident! Hope the progress picks up on your WIP, but even slow progress is progress! Keep plugging away at it! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for shiny new laptops! It makes such a difference not to have to wait around to open everything. So much less frustration! I still shudder when I see my old laptop in the drawer of lost appliances.
