Another week’s gone by and here we are at Day 11 of NaNoWriMo. My tip of the day is don’t worry too much if you don’t get to the 50,000 word mark. Having at least something to show is an achievement in itself. You’d be surprised at how many people never get around to writing the first…

NaNoWriMo-Day 8 and 9
I didn’t get time to post anything yesterday because I was busy throughout the day and then ended up writing until about 10 p.m. How are things going for you? We’re a week into the challenge and is it easier or harder than you thought? My tip is don’t worry if you feel you…
Monday Writing Prompts-Votes
I always say if you’re ever stuck for a story idea look to the news. It’s hard to miss that tomorrow is an election day so that’s the focus of this week’s prompt. Your character heads out to vote but something happens to prevent them from getting there. What that dilemma is, is up to you….
NaNoWriMo-Day 5 and 6
I didn’t get time to post a daily tip yesterday because I had lots on my to do list and then wanted to focus on writing for the rest of the day… which actually leads me into another tip. Not every day is going to be plan sailing so if you find yourself pushed…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-NaNoWriMo Day 4
I thought I’d combine with week’s Ramblings with my daily NaNoWriMo post. It’s day four. I was tempted to write all afternoon but there’s a class I’m putting together for Skillshare and I’m already behind with it so that took priority. And that leads me in to the tip of the day. Some days…
NaNoWriMo-Day 3
I’m currently taking a break from today’s writing sprint which is also my tip of the day. Some people don’t like to quit writing until they’re done with their word count but I like to stop every fifteen minutes or so and take a break and stretch my legs or even grab of cup of tea.
NaNoWriMo-Day 2
Day 2 and how are you doing? Do you like to write in silence, with music playing or even the TV turned on? Try different distractions and see what makes you the most productive. My favorite thing is music with no lyrics.
NaNoWriMo 2016-Day 1
It’s day one of this year’s NaNoWriMo challenge. Is everyone off to a great start? My project this year is a mystery. I haven’t written one in a long time and I got started on it last week. How about you, what are you tackling this year? A new to you genre maybe? Something that’s…
Friday Ramblings From An Auth0r-It’s Almost NaNoWriMo
Almost the end of October, almost Halloween and that means it’s almost time for this year’s NaNoWriMo. Lots of my students are taking part this year. How about you? I haven’t taken the challenge for three years but thought I’d do it this year because I want to write a mystery. One tip I always…
Monday Writing Prompts-Dirty Laundry
This week’s prompt is all about dirty laundry. Whether it’s someone overhearing gossip while they’re waiting for their clothes to wash and dry, or if they meet an interesting character there, it’s up to you. Either way, have fun and happy writing.
