Is It You?

[image error] Black Diamond is becoming more popular on Kindle. Are you the one making that possible? If so, thank you.

My ranking is rising...or is it declining....either way it's improving. I thank you all. I'm excited about the projects I'm working on. I've also connected with an awesome editor.

If you don't have your copy of Black Diamond, get it today. Details are here.

Writing Group?

[image error] I have been reading, nearly nonstop since the end of December. After writing during the NaNoWriMo challenge I pushed my manuscript to the side and took a break. I'm still "breaking" (smile) however I wanted to share a quick announcement--or what I hope will become a big announcement.

In April I would like to launch an online writers group. I need your help. Please complete this short survey. The group will not have a fee but it will require committed participants. 

Please complete the survey and let me know whether you'd consider working with an online writing group. I will share more plans as people complete the survey. Thanks and I'll blog again soon.

Survey

Merry Christmas

[image error] Merry Christmas!

I plan announce an interesting challenge next week. However, until then, enjoy your Christmas weekend and remember...
Jesus is the reason for the season!

Okay so I'm a bit corny...But I like this NaNoWriMo Video

I saw this NaNoWriMo video on YouTube and I had to share it. He had me when he said I had to get on my knees and ask the Lord to give me just one more page..." This man is funny.

Enjoy!

The Fog Is Clearing

[image error] The fog is clearing and I'm able to think clearly. I can't believe I cranked out over 60k words in 30 days. It's inhuman...(smile)

I am happy to be back. I shelved the book and worked on a few articles but I'm back. I plan to participate in the Fear of Writing 10k day next week so I need to get going.

What's the plan? Well, I'm sure I will trash a lot of the book. I am reworking my book summary and adjusting my chapter outline. I'm spending time with my book notebook and getting things in order for my first full draft of the book.

I hope to share the synopsis for African Emerald with you soon. Stay tuned!

NaNoWriMo Day 30: I'm Done...For Now

[image error] I WON!!! But...after last year I know that this is only a small portion of the work that I need to do. After NaNoWriMo last year I rewrote the book at least five times.

The plan is to rest and get back on it next week. I'm excited about the direction of the story. I won't shelf it completely until the right before Christmas. I will spend this week researching and working on bits and pieces. Then it's back to writing.

NaNoWriMo Day 20: PSA for 10k Writing Day

[image error] 10K days are FUN! And it's a great way to find out you're capable of a lot more than you think.

The goal is to challenge yourself to write 10,000 words . . .

If you'd like to join us for one of November's 10K Days—Wednesday, Nov 24 or Saturday the 27th—you can start by posting your RSVP HERE in the Comments section.

I plan to participate on both days. What about you?
Check out my recent NaNoWriMo update.

NaNoWriMo Day 17: 25k and Counting...

[image error] I've hit over 25k words. Yeah!!!

I've had a day of writing and I honestly can't add another word. I'm heading to bed to relax with my hot green tea and a movie.

NaNoWriMo Day 16: Don\'t Ask...

[image error] Graphic by Konrad MostertUnfortunately life, family, drama, etc. continues during NaNoWriMo--and while writing. I will let my word count--or lack thereof--speak for my weekend.

Urgh!!!
