NaNoWriMo prompts – 7/30
Write a haiku/senryu about “the morning after”.
A haiku is a three line poem. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables.
Then write a longer piece interpreting the haiku/senryu in a totally different manner than you originally intended.

NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH
50,000 words in 30 days!!!!
So, before you start coming up with excuses I should give you a pep talk.
- That is really just less than 1700 words a day.
- You aren’t supposed to be editing anything. That is what December is for.
- You can write a collection of short stories… just hit that word count.
- You can write a poem a day. Do a 30/30. You can create a book based on a theme or just write poems at random.
- It is about reaching the goal. It is about the challenge. If you think you can’t do it, then you can’t. So why not believe you can.
I am posting writing prompts that can be used for short stories, poems, essays, or prompts to keep your novel moving along.
So…
GET TO WRITING!!!

9/11: Where were you? Writing Prompt
Take a moment and think about where you were on 9/11.
Even if you don’t want to remember the horror of that day, still think about where you were in life.
What were you doing?
Who were you with?
How did you feel?
Now run with it. Write a non-fiction or memoir piece about that day. Write a fiction piece using what you remember about yourself, taking the truth and spinning it. Write a poem about what you saw, heard, and/or felt.
Just write!

FEAR…
Borrowed from: https://www.facebook.com/grammarly
Take some time to write something that you have been afraid to write, that something that has been on your mind but you just couldn’t bring yourself to put it down on paper. Write it! Make a note in your phone! Let whatever it is go and let it be what it wants to be! See if you feel any differently when it is done.

Happy New Year… I’ve been busy over here…
Hope everyone is getting off to a great start this year. I know I am!
I have published my first personal project and I am so excited! This is the novel I wrote during National Novel Writing Month.
Check out the first chapter here, on my personal blog.
It is available in paperback for $12 via Createspace.
It is also available for Kindle and Nook.
So, what am I up to now… not resting of course. I am working on publishing the third project from Turtleberry Press, which is my second novel. I am also writing. I feel like I am on a roll and I am going to ride it until the wheels fall off!

National Novel Writing Month ~ Sprinted in through the finish line…
My track coach said you don’t slow up until the finish line is behind you.
So I clocked in 53,952 words and finished at 4pm today.
The big thing for me is that I set a goal and I saw it through. I am so motivated right now to keep writing. I am thinking of another goal to set. I mean, I know I can do it now so I should keep at it.
Isn’t that how it works?
I know there is now editing and then doing my own layout work… I am my own worst customer… but let me celebrate this moment right now.
There doesn’t have to be a worldwide movement for you to challenge yourself. You don’t have to write a novel.
Set a goal.
Give yourself a time frame.
Work hard to meet it.
And most of all… remember to surprise yourself!!!
