About the Author
A. Christine is a Texas writer who enjoys fantasy, horror, and the supernatural, whether reading, writing, or watching. She graduated from Trinity University with a major in English. When she isn't writing, she spends her time making jewelry and desserts (not at the same time), singing, going to school to become a certified court reporter, and poking philosophical conundrums with sharp sticks.

Week 3: Femme Fighting (NaNo2013 Edition)
Word count: 57,266 words Words written since Week 2: 26,251 words That “words written since” is actually larger, because I deleted the first 4-some-thousand words that I had whited out for NaNo word count. It’s hard to believe that I’ve … Continue reading

NaNo2013 K.O.
Just dropped in to say that at 1:49 a.m. this morning, I crossed the 50k-word line. I was technically only supposed to reach 49k words, but I decided why not go all the way. At one point, the NaNo stats … Continue reading

Week 2: Femme Fighting (NaNo2013 Edition)
Word count: 31,015 words Words written since Week 1: 15,952 words That “words written since” number should go up by next week, since Week 1 was actually four days instead of a whole week. Also, I have an Overnight of … Continue reading

Week 1: Femme Fighting (NaNo2013 Edition)
Word count: 15,063 words And technically, that Week 1 started after midnight on Nov. 1 with our local NaNo group’s Kick-Off Party at IHOP. Don’t get too excited about how many words that is. All 4k words I wrote at … Continue reading

Word count: 183,984 words Words written since Week 12: 13,722 words I’m officially finished with FTR2. I celebrated with pizza, and tomorrow I’m having a frappuccino, although I really need to work on my coffee habit now that the opus … Continue reading

Word count: 170,262/175,000 words Words written since Week 11: 19,838 words As you can see, my school break gave me a great opportunity to make a big jump ahead, and not only did I write my 20k words this week, … Continue reading

Word count: 150,424/175,000 words Words written since Week 10: 13,359 words Well, look at that. I crossed 150k and I’m still going. Milestone, but not quite as exciting as The End. I saved my extra two thousand words written two … Continue reading
