NaNoWriMo Day 2: Writing Tips/Hints and a New Perspective of a Journey

Well, it is Day 2 of NaNoWriMo and I am loving every bit of it! I hope you are as well.

There is something quite fulfilling to watch words add up on the blank white page--knowing that the combination of words have never been written before, except by me--in that moment. It is quite a spiritual journey and increases my faith. 

How about you? Is NaNoWriMo a stress component for you--or is it a journey?

Isn't it amazing how a different perspective changes everything? The way we look at things can have a negative or positive impact on us and on our lives. 

So, enjoy the journey and make sure to journal about it at the close of your day each night. It will be well worth it. I promise.

Word of Caution: Jamestown Passage and Smashwords

If you have downloaded my book, "Jamestown Passage" for free on Smashwords at:

Please note that it is a work in progress. It is in the most rough form a book could possibly be. However, I wanted to publish it and share it with you. This is my book for NaNoWriMo this year (National Novel Writing Month of November). I will be updating the download at least once a day Monday through Friday. 

Thank you for reading it as I go along this month.

Grateful

It was just four hours ago I downloaded my first found of my NaNoWriMo book to Smashwords and I have already had 28 people download the very, very, very 1st rough draft. It's more of an outline really. 

How amazing.

Talk about humbling.

Thank you if you were one of them. You have no idea what it means to me. 

Now I am working on preparing "A Complicated Christmas" to do the same and get it on Smashwords for free. Hopefully tomorrow or the next day at the latest. I've been able to get more done than I thought I would. (Whew!)

Day 1 of NaNoWriMo

Well, today is the 1st official day of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month).

I need to write 2,000 more words of my Christmas historical fiction novel and then I will hit today's word count goal of 3,000 words on my NaNoWriMo novel: Jamestown Passage.

Yes, today, I will finish writing "A Complicated Christmas." It's the first in the Oak Haven Series about a Virginia town in 1813. 

I just got done with my Quiet Time and am ready for the madness to begin! Woo-hoo! 

So, how are you? Are you ready for the NaNo madness (craziness)? Are you ready to write or type until your fingers go numb? Naa-haa-hah! Yep. Madness. 

But, talk about a fulfilling madness. Today is the first day to learn more about you as a writer--even if you've been one for years. Make sure not to allow the word count goal to get in the way of seeing this as the journey it really is. Take time to remember this very sweet truth.

NaNoWriMo Starts Tomorrow


NaNoWriMo STARTS TOMORROW!

Woo-hoo!

We are going to do it! We are going to write 50,000 words in one month. We will.

Are you excited?

I do not know about you, but at this point, I just can't wait to get started.
