I am thankful for…

November 25, 2009

being done with my novel! I closed in yesterday with 50,035 words and am taking a major break. Towards the end, it was really bad.  But your support helped me out so much, and I want to thank you for answering my questions and commenting on my blog posts, which is part of what kept me going and kept me semi-sane. All’s well that ends well in the novel.  But now comes the hard part-editing.  Anyone know any literary agents ...

NaNoWriMo: Day 15

November 17, 2009

30,249 words! Whew.  I am over the half-way hump and on my way to the last 20,000 words (can you really call 20,000 words your last words?)  Michael is on his way from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea for Shabbat with two random Israeli girls who are driving to BeerSheva and also want to escape from the city in case they get Jerusalem syndrome.  Michael, obviously, has not had any luck on the marriage front yet.  Although, he has gotten ...

Finally Friday!

November 13, 2009

Today marks the confluence of a couple of things: 1. I’ve reached the 25,000 word mark on my novel!  That’s half-way.  Now the rest should be downhill, right? At this point, I’m going on 6 hours of sleep. If you’re interested in seeing my writing graphed mathematically, my awesome friend @carolejesse had done just that. 2.  It’s Mr. B’s birthday!  He’s turning a quarter of a century.  That means he should now be wise, right? 3.  I’m guest-posting on my ...

NaNoWriMo: Day 11

November 12, 2009

Well, I’m almost at the half-way mark (23,235 words).  Michael is on his way to Jerusalem, continuing the next part of his trip, not having had any success with the ladies yet, and has left his host family and struck out on his own. I’ve been supplementing my research with a little bit of audio-visual material. The first has been watching Moscow on the Hudson on the recommendation of friends, and so far (we’ve only watched half)  it’s been wonderful.  ...

NaNoWriMo: Day 8

November 8, 2009

Total word count to date:17121 and it’s starting to get harder and harder to write. Michael has arrived in Israel, been terrorized by a dog more than actual terrorism, has met his host family’s kids, and had his first day out in Tel Aviv.  Now, as the sun sets, he prepares for a dinner party that his family is having so he can “meet” this girl that Genya wanted to set him up with.  In light of this, 1.  What ...
