Hey! This is a bit later than I like to post, but I forgot that I had a dentist appointment early this morning and then I woke  up too late — just one of those annoying days.

Anyway, here is Chapter Fifteen. We have four chapters left before the first book is done. I can’t believe how close we are to the end 😛

On the status of Counting Stars, I’ve been posting updates over at my blog. If you’re following it, you know I recently decided to discard my first draft. I was only about four chapters in, so it’s not a bad thing. I’ve discarded much longer first drafts (Mad World went through five drafts before I got anywhere close). I re-outlined the story and I hope to still finish it on time since I discarded a lot of the subplots that was dragging me down when I wrote it.  The blog is really the best place to get my semi-daily writing updates if you’re interested.

Another quick update  because I have to run and get ready to drop cupcakes at my niece’s class for her birthday. Hope you guys like it!

Chapter Fourteen

I’ll be back later today to fill you guys in on status of NaNoWriMo!

I’m so excited to be posting this chapter — everything has been pushing towards this chapter, and it’s a crazy roller coaster. But I also like that I didn’t leave you with a tremendous cliffhanger either for the next four days. I can’t believe how fast these few weeks are going!

Chapter Thirteen

I’m really excited to get to this week’s chapters because things start to go insane and kind of stay that way for five chapters, haha.

Chapter Twelve

I also posted a status update on my blog about NanoWriMo if you’re interested.

So Chapter 11 went live at 7 am this morning, and I forgot to post about it. I don’t have any good excuses —  I was home all day and in front of a computer. I’ve just been overwhelmed with getting back on track after my awful cold. I’m still not over it – but today was better than yesterday.

Anyway, Chapter 11 is posted 🙂

On the NaNoWriMo front, if you’re following my blog, you know I’m getting off to a rough start thanks to my cold. I’m hoping to pick up some steam this weekend and make up for lost time.

Still fighting the cold from this weekend, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet this morning. Chapter Ten posted for Mad World.

NaNoWriMo got off to a slow start thanks to this cold, but once it clears up, I’m going to dig back into it. So frustrating sometimes.

Short and sweet this morning 🙂 Chapter Ten posted.

Hey, this is just a quick update to let you know I have started blogging and tweeting about NaNoWriMo and Counting Stars. You can follow it on my blog, Dear Isobel. You can sign to subscribe to updates there — I won’t be annoying you here every time I post.

I also fixed the chapters listing at Mad World. I did a thing behind the scenes that messed it up, but we’re good now.

First things first, Chapter Nine has been posted for Mad World. I’ve already scheduled Chapters 10 & 11 to make my life slightly easier and I’m hoping to get the last eight chapters edited this weekend so I can get those posted ahead of time. Then I just have to remember to write these posts so you guys get the links 😛

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) starts tomorrow, and I’m going to be writing Counting Stars this year. I’m super excited to start a new project — pretty much for the last three years, I’ve worked on either Bittersweet or Mad World.

I’m going to be tweeting about it on my @crimsonglass account, but if you’re not much for tweeting, I’m going to blog about it this year as well. (I’m going to try to anyway). It’s a way to keep myself accountable. I post about word counts, good days, bad days, etc. You might even get in progress snipppets as I write. I hope you guys will join me this year and cheer me on 🙂

If everything goes well, Counting Stars will be posted starting in January.
