Month: October 2015

Now, there are doubters out there reading this blog saying it is not possible. Well, it is possible, with a little dedication and determination. The Office of Letters and Lights sponsors this world-wide annual event and helps all participants with tips, newsletters, and writing sprints for daily warm-ups. Sponsors of this writing celebration give authors several free 30 day trial options for new or standard writing tools.

 You can be a loner and write each day without talking to another writer or you can form a group of WriMos who meet and discuss their writing and write together. This event is for every level of writer.  You can take on the challenge and let your mind, heart, and muse echo the spirit of creativity.

Yes, I am a big fan. I have written four books in four years. Are they all published? Hell no, the revision process alone takes a year, and then there are the beta readers, editors, and proofreaders, Formatting for submission and much more, but if you want to write and you have a story to tell, jump in, and have the time of your creative life.

Now is the time for those of you who have been writing forever and have never participated in NaNoWriMo to jump start your imagination. Stimulate that rush of being on a roll as the words fall onto the screen or page.  Bring back the memories of wanting to do an all “nighter” because you can’t stop writing.

Go to nanowrimo.org and join with authors around the world and scribe. Link up with other creative types on the following links:

 Prepare! The challenge begins at midnight on November 1, 2015.

Write on!
