Close your eyes. Take a walk through your neighborhood (in your mind). Now write about it. Try not to leave anything out.

November is National Novel Writing Month
I have been on the fence about participating because I failed miserably last year. Then I spent the end of October reading a huge portion of my past works. The unfinished stories really bugged the hell out of me. Not one for quitting, I decided that I am going to give it a go again.
I have two projects I am working on, to satisfy my insane need to multitask. My goal is to finish at least one of them by the end of the month. I will probably stray from the typical way NaNoWriMo is done but I am going to document it all here on this blog. I am not posting the actual novel on here. But I will post my daily progress starting this evening. The goal is 50,000 words by the end of the month. The hard part for me will be the NO EDITING rule. (Pray for me ya’ll!)
I think you should all give it a go with me. The website is http://www.nanowrimo.org/ and you should go there and register. There is all types of stuff on there. In some areas they have meet ups. There are tons of tips.
For all my poet friends and followers… why not write a poem a day for thirty days. I am going to continue to post prompts up. I will try to post one a day for those who need inspiration. At the end of the month you could have a wonderful poetry book!
If you write non-fiction, you can still do this challenge. Write your memoir. Write about your favorite topic.
The key… JUST WRITE!!!
Feel free to comment on posts and let me know how you are doing.

Writing Prompt: What I Would Say (reblog)
I think this is a wonderful prompt idea!
It doesn’t have to be a poem… it can be a short story. It can just be a list.
Focus on the exercise of writing!
The way that it works:
1. Write the numbers 1-20
2. Write a different person’s name that you know beside each number
3. Write a confession beside each name
4. Erase the names
Check out the original blog post to see what it looks like: What I Would Say: A Poem.

Writing Prompt: Caption this…
Caption this… what is going on? Your character walks out of a room and sees this. What are they thinking?
Provide some back story… or none at all.
Caption this…
The key is to just write.

Simply God’s
Gracious is the Lord, and righteousness; yea,
our God is merciful.
The Lord preserveth the simple:
I was brought low,
and he helped me.
Psalm 116: 5-6
SIMPLY GOD’S
I see the position I hold in life
To me it looks kind of low
People seem to pass me by
But there’s one thing I know.
I know to whom I belong
Not some group pretending to care
No, in my darkest midnight hour
They will not be there.
I don’t belong on the outside
Trying to fit in
We all fall short of the glory
And sometimes land flat in sin.
No, I belong to God most high
For gracious is the Lord
Righteous and so merciful
To help me stay on accord.
When I look up from where I stand
And I see hills to climb are hard
And evil tries to push me down
I stop, because I know I belong;
I’m Simply God’s.
