Nanowrimo Time Approaching

     National Novel Writing Month is just over a month away in November. I've spent time during the past couple of weeks thinking about possible titles, characters, genres, and settings.  I've completed the 50,000 challenge every year since 2006, although not always with something I would like to publish. My 2007 Nanowrimo novel is Baseball Card Hero, which was published in 2009 in paperback and in 2012 as an eBook. I still plan to publish my 2006 Nanowrimo novel, but since a few books were published with a similar theme after I finished it, I've taken my time editing and letting time refresh the idea.
     Not long ago I read Water For Elephants, which is a Nanowrimo novel, and recommend it to anyone who likes a good circus adventure.

Back to the Blog

When I started this blog, I didn't really know what people write in a blog. I've posted short stories and essays I've written. I have since found that many bloggers post tips, ideas, and other things they want to share, but in a step up fashion from Facebook post. I must admit I don't do much posting there, either. I haven't been inside this blog for some time. My main excuse is losing my dad and all the busy lifestyle that comes with adjusting to a new family dynamic, which included moving in with Mom to help her out and preparing to sell my house. The house is finally on the market and almost ready for an open house showing. It's my hope that September will not only bring on a new season, but a renewed focus on doing the writing I love. I'll even do my best to post something on my blog more frequently.
