NaNoWriMo-SAY WHAT??

What in the world is NaNoWriMo???
National Novel Writing Month! Are you in? A whole book in one month??? Impossible you say? Hard maybe, but not impossible. You only have to write 1666 words per day for 30 days. You can do it! I can do it! Click here to sign up to participate, or just get more information. 

If you read my novel, Identity, then I'm sure you're dying to know what happened to certain characters I left dangling at the end. 

That's the book I'm going to start tomorrow. I'm calling it Silhouette

If you like the idea of mistaken identities, then you'll love my newest novel as well. Check out my profile on Facebook. I'll be adding my favorite sentences at the end of each day and update you on my progress. 

Wish me luck, wish me fortitude, and tell my muse she will find me hard at work this month!

What do you do when you get sidetracked?

Some of you already know that I'm a pretty random person. Ask any of my family and they'll tell you just how distracted I am. My favorite joke is: How many kids with ADD does it take to change a light bulb? Want to see my new bike! That pretty much is me. So, with that being said, I've been very distracted this week.


First we went to Greer for Labor Day. That was nice! I actually got some editing done on Saturday. But here it is Wednesday already, and I haven't even opened my document. 


I've given lots of advice on getting motivated, but how do you stay motivated? For me, it's a matter of actually sitting at the computer--making that commitment that no matter what, I am going to put in an hour of writing or editing or whatever it is that I "should" be doing. 


Today, it's blogging before writing. I've neglected both of my blogs for almost a month. I am so far behind on reviews.


So, come back tomorrow and I'll have a couple of reviews to post. 


Happy writing! (or editing as the case may be).
