October Goals (2019 Edition)

By


 Happy October 1st everyone!

 I’ve realized that it’s been a while since I’ve done a post like this and I to let you in on some things I hope to accomplish this month.

 So, last month I finished up character development for my WIP (work-in-progress), Harbinger. I felt I knew these characters well after spending three years with them, but there were still secrets uncovered. A few of them fought me tooth and nail and it was a week before they gave in, but I feel so much better about them now. This month I would go into location development where I would flesh-out the locations in this book, but I’ll be working on starting a new project.

  Tear is the title of my NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) project that I’ll be working on in November. To prepare for this, I’m taking the entire month of October to workout the idea, doing some basic plotting and brainstorming so I can hit the keys running in November. I’m excited to work on this. I’ll continue to give more information on this project in the months to come.

 I have three books that I’ve committed to writing reviews for, one of which is due this month, the other two which are due the beginning of December. I’m hoping to finish reading and reviewing all three. 

 I’m teaching beginning piano and have four students so far. We’ll see how it goes. I’m nervous, but excited all the same. 

 Halloween is the end of this month, and I’ll be at work so I can dress up. Not sure what I’ll be dressing up as, so I need to work on a costume. Halloween is one of those rare opportunities I get to dress up in something other than my black uniform so I don’t want to miss out on this.

 That’s pretty much it. Lots of things to do, but all exciting things. 

 What are some things you are excited to be doing this month? Let me know in the comments section below.

NaNoWriMo Know the Novel: Introduction

I can't believe it's already this time of the year again. Last year I joined Christine Smith   in her three-month Know the Novel link-up. This link-up starts the month before NaNoWriMo and goes through December. If you've been following this blog for more than a year, you'll recognize this series from last year. If you just started following me or are visiting this blog: Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. This month's theme is Introduction  and sets up the groundwork for what I'm doing today.  I've mentioned Harbinger  before. It's a WIP I've been working on for almost six years now. Over the summer I've decided to split it in three books, so now it's the Harbinger Trilogy. The working title for book one is called Sirens of Fate,  and it's this book I will work on for NaNoWriMo. I'm rebelling NaNo, meaning instead of doing this writing challenge traditionally and starting a book from scratch on November 1st, I'm using the c

This is my first time joining the wonderful  Christine Smith  and a bunch of other wonderful writers in her three-month Know the Novel link-up for writers in these final months of the year. I'm completely nervous, having never done anything like this before, but also very excited.  October's theme is  Introduction  which is the post featured today.  Earlier this month I announced that for the months of October and November I would be switching projects from Harbinger  to Tear   in honor of NaNoWriMo, using this month to prepare. So without further ado, let me introduce you to my novel. KNOW THE NOVEL: PART ONE: INTRODUCTION Q 1. What first sparked the idea for this novel? A 1. Well, most of my novel ideas, (no pun intended), come from questions. I had this question pop into my head, "Where does Writer's Block come from?" This story was born out of the quirky answer that I came up with. Q 2. Share a blurb! A 2. I warn you this is an extremely rough b

NaNoWriMo: Know the Novel Link-Up: Introduction

  *Happy squeak!* I am so excited to be joining  Christine Smith  in her Know the Novel link-up for writers in this festive season of the year. What festive season, you may ask? Why, NaNoWriMo season, of course! *Flings glitter.* Many years ago, I did my first NaNo and started my wild ride or writing and an intense commitment to the craft that has lasted until this very day. (Hopefully it doesn't end here. That would be tragic, and while I do love a good tragedy, I would like for my life not to be tragic. Thank you very much.) *Pull self out of hole she fell in.* Ahem.... Where were we? Oh yes. The link-up. Moving forward. October is the month where we introduce our NaNoWriMo projects to the world, so in the spirit of that, here is my introduction post. KNOW THE NOVEL PART ONE: INTRODUCTION: Introducing: Drop , book #2 of my Drops of Inspira trilogy. Q 1: What first sparked the idea for this novel? A: I actually featured the first book for this link-up series a few years ago back
