It is that time again!!!
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!!!

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!!!

30 Days Hath November ~ Day 28
Give yourself some time today. Write for six separate 10 minute sessions. Try not to do them back to back. Put at the very least thirty minutes in between the sessions, and hour or two would be better.
Write about what the holiday season means to you. It can be any big holidays that you celebrate. If you don’t celebrate holidays, write about how other people’s holiday season affects you.
Each session should inform the next, but try and take things in a totally different direction each time. Use your favorite format or however can best allow you express what you need to express.
Happy Writing!

30 Days Hath November ~ Day 26 & 27
Write in a form you typically do not write in. Step out of your comfort zone. If you write long epic poems, pen your thoughts in a haiku. If you write fiction, write a short memoir piece. If you write non-fiction, exercise your imagination in a short story.
Need a topic: pigs flying
(This topic in honor of the fact that I may actually finish a novella during nanowrimo!)
Happy Writing!

30 Days Hath November ~ Day 24
Explain/describe an emotion without using the name of the emotion. For example if you are describing anger, you would find every way you can describe it with out using the words anger or angry.
