EYE ON...
Once Upon a Time in the year 2016...
by René Allen
Get ready for Epic times ahead with all of the wonderful NaNoWriMo Authors, aspiring authors, writers, and poets gearing up for National Novel Writing Month that will take place online next month in November 2016!
NaNoWriMo.org ~ Love, love, love it! If you've never done so before, you must try writing for a month straight so that you can find out what you're made of. I've participated for many years writing online for National Novel Writing Month (affectionately known as, "NaNoWriMo"). I started my adventure with Writing a Novel in a month during NaNoWriMo simply because a good online writing friend of mine urged me to do so many years ago (Jen~bless your Writer's heart) -- and I've been participating ever since....
When I first heard of NaNoWriMo, (thanks to my friend Jen), I said to myself, (and out loud), "what in the world is that about?" ... and, "what kind of name is that?" -- then I patiently listened as Jen explained why she enjoyed participating in this month-long writing phenomenon. You'll really enjoy meeting other Authors & Writers (both online and in person) -- depending upon the area in which you live, you can meet up with other NaNoWriMo participants at Writing Events in your area.
If you love writing, and/or are an aspiring author, do participate, because you'll also receive advice about your literary creation as you're working on it; you'll get plenty of tips if you seek them; you'll be able to obtain pep talks; you'll be able to join in on the Forums online inside the Site; and you'll also enjoy plenty of helpful support. And don't forget to check in here on my Blog, because I'll be writing about my NaNoWriMo prep during the month of October 2016 ~ and I'll continue writing about pulling my Novel together by clicking the keys on the keyboard, as well as letting all Blog Readers know what is happening with my Word Count during the month of November 2016.
Here's the good thing about striving to reach a goal that involves writing a Novel in a month's time -- it means you'll have to FOCUS. Whenever you focus on the story (or stories) that live inside of you, then you open the pathway that leads to the birthing process. And, my oh my, what a beautiful baby you'll make!
If you plan to participate in National Novel Writing Month this year, don't think too hard about what you are going to create. In fact, try to remember that focusing and thinking are two different things altogether.
Here ~ Let me help you, start now by going out and getting yourself a Journal. If you already have a few nice Journals at home with dust on them, wipe them off, and open them up ...
Of course, if you have a Journal with something written in it, you may have just found the makings of your November 2016 Novel!
Otherwise, do purchase a nice new Journal. When you first open up your Journal, there will be blank pages. The Journal then begins to take on a life of its own once you focus on putting your pen to the paper. Notice that I did not tell you to think about what you were going to write. Simply FOCUS on putting your pen to the paper. Let your hand do what it does best ~ WRITE...
Once upon a time in the year 2016, you never would have found so many beautiful and gifted people writing Novels in a month's time online. Well, we are about to step into November 2016, and together we've got our EYE on National Novel Writing Month...
See YOU there!
Writer's Insightful Tip for OCTOBER 2016:
If you stop and place your hands on a keyboard and create a story that makes you do a double-take because of the power of the words you've written; and if your story causes your emotions to stir, and your eyes start to blink and your eyebrows raise in amazement, then I suggest that you cherish the "gift", because YOU are a Writer!
Peace, Love & Light,
