I'm keeping a daily journal of my NaNoWriMo accomplishments/failures. The latest post involves an ill-fated attempt at doing an all-nighter challenge (spoiler: I lasted until 3am).
Days 6 & 7 – 46 & 50k: I hit the NaNoWriMo target, posted two excerpts, explained how I wrote so damn fast and talked a little about what NaNo has done for me.
Female Characters, Mary Sues and Sexism: a bit of a rant (properly structured and backed up with evidence, I promise) on the perception of female characters as opposed to male characters and how often the standard insult for a female character is to call her a "Mary Sue"
Did a bit today on Spike Jonze's brilliant short film, MOURIR APRÈS DE TOI. It's about what happens inside Paris' Shakespeare & Co. Bookstore when the lights go out.
Truly, this is a must-see film. And, it's hilarious!
I'm giving away a bunch of YA books: SHATTER ME, GLOW, THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER, and CROSSED. The contest is open until Thanksgiving and two prize packs are being offered. CLICK HERE to enter. <333
