NaNoWriMo Aftermath Reflection...




I must say that I enjoyed NaNoWriMo this year.  After a ten-year hiatus, it felt good to be writing with a specific goal in mind, even though that goal was crazy.  I enjoyed interacting with other people on social media who were participating in NaNo.  I made some new writing friends and buddies.  I plan to stay in touch with them, even after NaNo is over.

I joined some Writing Groups (NaNo specific groups) who are going to keep the group going after NaNo is over.  That’s cool.  It felt good to have some people who understood what I was going through and how I was feeling.  They were encouraging in so many ways.

I plan on finishing That Single Preacher during the month of December.

NaNoWriMo Reflection... Day 30


It’s day 30, the final day of NaNoWriMo.  I wanted to finish like I started, with writing on the first two days and writing on the last two days.  I didn’t make it.  Days 29 and 30 were no writing days.  I can’t really say why.  I think I was through with NaNo at that point.  I didn’t want to write anymore.  Or perhaps, I’m just ready for Christmas.  Who knows?

I’m glad I was able to “win” NaNo, even though the novel isn’t finished.  I’ll finish it in December.  I’ll have time off from working, so it’ll give me something to do during the winter break.

Until next year, NaNo, it’s been real.

Writing and Misophonia...



Well, I’m sitting in here working and trying to write.  There’s a guy sitting next to me who is breathing heavily through his mouth.  Then, he’ll cough every now and then without covering his mouth.  My misophonia is acting up like crazy.

Now, this other dude comes through here coughing without covering his mouth…

Back to the other story…  I’m about ready to throw him somewhere.  I want to move, but I’m comfortable and don’t want to disturb this groove.

I have music playing, but it ain’t really helping.  I may just have to move… ASAP!

Ugh… This picture says it all…

Keep Working for It!

Yes!

NaNoWriMo Reflection... Day 25


It's day 25.  I totally goofed off last week.  Took the Thanksgiving Break week thing seriously.  I'm over 50,000 words after writing today.  I made myself write today so that I could go ahead and "win" before time.  It feels anticlimactic, though.  My novel isn't even half way finished.  I have a long way to go to finish it.  I haven't even gotten to the first night of the revival.  I'm still introducing characters.

I have a few writing quotes that I'm using to encourage me.  Not sure how successful they are at encouraging me.


I gotta keep writing.  Ray Bradbury is my new writing hero.



Based on the quotes below... Yes, I'm ready for Christmas!


I write about the greatest theme ever:  God's Love!


Yes, I as born to be a writer!  I was BORN with the GIFT.


I edit well.  I need to find me an editor though.  Editing a 100+ page novel gets overwhelming at times.

So, I'm going to keep working on That Single Preacher in December.  I have yet to finish one of my NaNo Novels.  I'm finishing this one!

I need motivation...


Well... I need discipline.

Day 25

I finally did some work.
