  *Slides in* Phew! I'm sorry. This was supposed to be out last week, but I got really sick so when I tried to sit down to write this, I almost passed out and had to call it quits. So here we are. The last part of  Christine Smith's  fabulous Know the Novel  link-up. As per usual, I am still finishing the actual draft, but what I did complete was a blast. So, let's get to the questions: Know the Novel Part 3: Words Written Question 1: How did writing this novel go all around? A: Overall, I'd say it went rather well. Yes, there were times it fought me, but on the whole, writing Drop  was a blast!  Question 2: Did it turn out like you expected or completely different? And how do you feel about the outcome? A: Honestly, does anything I write turn out like I expected? No. Absolutely not.

  Hello again! I'm atrociously late with this post, but in my defense, my life was upended late last Saturday and my Wi-Fi access has been spotty.

KNOW THE NOVEL PART TWO: WITHIN THE WIP: Q1: How's the writing going overall? A:  So, here's the thing... Sometimes, I've been the "Little Engine that Could" and other times I'm a speedy penguin The first half of the month, everything just poured out like liquid gold, but certain life events have slowed things down. It's been hard writing when everyone around you is in panic mode.  Q2: What's been the most fun aspect of writing this novel so far? A: Yup. That's pretty much it. My characters go from serious to goofballs in 0-60 ...

  Hello!  Gosh. I just realized that December 2020 is almost through and I haven't quite gotten around to this post yet, so here we are. This is the "Know the Novel" wrap-up post completing the link-up that I've participated in the past three months with Christine Smith . Since I've procrastinated long enough, I'm just going to dive into the post. Here we go. 1. Firstly, how did writing this novel go all around? A:   Writing went really well! I actually wrote more this past month than I have for the past three months, busy school schedule and all. Weird, but I think my brain likes the pressure of a deadline. 2. Did it turn out like you expected or completely different? And how do you feel about the outcome? A:  No... Of course not. My brain took my plot and ran amuck. It's been very inconsiderate. Yes. I had a plot. Shocking, I know.   Well, considering I still have about two to three chapters left, I feel pretty good about the outcome, but there are still...
