FINISH LINE AHEAD!

50,000 words!


BLOG SESSION
November 28th, 2017


Good Morning Blog Readers, Writers, Novelists, and Visitors ~ This is going to be a beautiful day!

We're heading towards the finish line of our Novel writing on NaNoWriMo.  As you begin to look over your Novels and do bits of editing where needed, you'll also be inputting any additional chapters to your Novel in the next couple of days.  We have two more days to go (not including today) ~ what an adventure this has been, and we're not done yet!

If you had a chance to look over the material and information in the Forums online at NaNoWriMo, you probably learned a lot more than you thought you would.  In our last Blog Session, we spoke briefly about Book Covers.  In one of the Forums, there is information about "30 covers, 30 days".  If you are signed up on NaNoWriMo, you'll be able to check out all of the Forum topics, and this is one you should take a look at.

You should also check out the Forum on "Site & Message Board Feedback & Suggestions".  On this Forum, you can share your comments and ideas for the nanowrimo.org site and NaNo forums so that improvements can continue to be made.

If you are new to all this NaNoWriMo business, which is a great insightful way to work online with other Writers like yourself, it is just fine, because we all have to learn about NaNoWriMo at one point or another if we are Writers.  National Novel Writing Month ~ which is what NaNoWriMo stands for is an event that happens every year during the month of November.

If this is your first year participating, please don't make it your last.  Keep your writing going all year long by writing on your own, and also telling others about NaNoWriMo.  Some of the Writers here on the Blog have met other writers while doing NaNoWriMo.  There are Virtual Write-Ins, and also Regional connections to be made for all Writers who are interested.

For all the "Newbies" to NaNoWriMo, there is a Forum specifically for you where you can introduce yourself and your project.  You'll find this to be a gentle way to start your NaNoWriMo experience.

The overachievers who go beyond the 50,000 word mark can talk online in the Forum, "Beyond 50k".  This Forum is the home for all of the overachievers.

There is no need to stop at the 50k mark if your writing is flowing better than you expected.  If this is the case for you, you may want to check out the Forum, "This is Going Better Than I'd Hoped".

For those of you who are in College, you may want to check out the Forum, "NaNo University", which is for those of you who are facing the challenges of College life while being an active Novelist.  On this Forum you can find tips and tricks for surviving lectures while meeting your word count.
Wearing the Novelist cap has its advantages


If you have had a life-long dream of writing a Novel, just do it!  You'll surprise yourself with what you come up with.  When you read your Novel over, you will wonder where all of the good stuff that Novels are made of came from...well from YOU of course!

If you have it in you to write, you will not rest until you complete your mission.  We'll be back here on the Blog for another great Session ~ we'll be waiting here for you Novelist.

Writing is Therapeutic

Writing is Therapeutic

BLOG SESSION
October 31st, 2017


Good Evening Blog Readers, Writers, Followers & Visitors!

We're back for another exciting Blog Session that will be just what all of the Novel Writers who are following our Blog are in need of at this point in time.  Tomorrow is November 1st, and it will be time for National Novel Writing Month once again!

I know, I know ~ It's exciting isn't it!  We are about to embark upon another adventure in writing our Novels.  Each year during the month of November, we gladly get involved with other Writers, Authors, Poets, Journalists, Short Story Writers, Emerging Authors, and Aspiring Authors of all genres.

If you have never participated in NaNoWriMo online before (which stands for National Novel Writing Month), then you are in for a wonderful treat.  If you are interested in writing a Novel, now is the time to get cracking.  You have an entire month to write your Novel online with other Writers & Authors.  Your Novel will consist of 50,000 words or more.  If you think that 50,000 words seems like a lot of writing, it really is quite do~able.  You'll be very happy with yourself after you finish writing your Novel, and you are deemed a WINNER!

If you have participated in previous years writing your Novel online during NaNoWriMo, then you already know how much fun it is.

Whether you have participated in NaNoWriMo before or not, you can click on the link and go right on over and fill out your Profile or update your Profile (if you have participated in previous years) with your information.  If it is your first time, you'll need to "Sign Up" ~ It is free!  Everything is very easy ~ just click on the link at the beginning of this paragraph, slide into the Site, look around and explore everything that captures your attention now . . .


I'm sure you are excited ~ after all, writing a Novel is very therapeutic for all creative writers and "gifted" Authors.

You'll be able to track your Novel Writing progress once you get started.  You'll also be able to receive pep talks and support.  You'll also have the ability to meet your fellow Writers online and in person if you so choose.

Take time now to go over and find out more information, learn how NaNoWriMo works, read the Press Information, and read the participant testimonials.

If you have already been working on your Novel, and writing away in your Journals or Novel Book . . .

Writing your Novel is your calling

Now is the time to take your Novel writing, type it up online, add in your notes to your story and create a finished product.

You may have already started your Novel in your word processing program.  Good!  You can work on your editing as you add your Novel online during the month of November while participating with others on NaNoWriMo.

If you have any questions, you can ask them once you have signed up, signed in, looked around, and checked out the Forums.  [Click on link to view Forums]

You may also post your questions here on the Blog, and I will answer you to the best of my ability, as I have participated in NaNoWriMo for many years.

Be sure to Bookmark this Blog, and also sign up to "Follow by Email" if you have not done so already (look in the far right-hand column to enter your email address to follow by email here on the Blog), because I'll be updating everyone here all month long about NaNoWriMo as I too begin another Novel!

Don't forget to keep good Notes as you participate in NaNoWriMo this year.  And, also remember to pull out your notes that you have written for your Novel, because now is the time to WRITE! . . .
