Today, I thought about... not being able to write.
Today, I prayed about... writing!

Hard Writing These Days

It's been so hard to write these days. My allergies have been causing me to have problems. I am trying to gear up for NaNoWriMo. I haven't even written anything for my 1,000 Words per Day. This is not going to be good if it continues into November.

I am so tired of this.

Today

Today, I feel like... I am picking the wrong kinds of topics for Rep Days.
Today, I thought about... asking everyone what kind of shirts they want to wear.
Today, I prayed for... my husband.

Rep Days

I am in charge of REP DAYS at my school. Twice a month, we all wear shirts that rep a particular topic. We have had High School Day and Pro Team Day. We are scheduled to have a lot more days before the school year is out.

Not a lot of people have participated, though. I think it is because they don't have the shirts we requested or either they forgot. I hope that when we Rep our school, everyone wears their shirt.

Today

Today, I feel like... I will suffer with these allergies through November.
Today, I thought about... not being able to write in November because of my allergies.
Today, I prayed about... my allergies.

Nasty Days

Lately, we have had some nasty days. The weather has been bad. My allergies have been acting up. It has made writing hard. I am not supposed to be dealing with this kind of stuff right now. I am about ready to scream.

I hope this stuff clears up before November.

Today

Today, I feel like... I am alone in this writing thing.
Today, I thought about... leaving a Yahoo! Group because I am not getting what I need.
Today, I prayed about... feeling lonely in my writing endeavors.

No Help Either

I am a part of this group. I expected the group to be more help, but it hasn't been. I get so frustrated at times when people don't move as fast as I do. I have been doing that all my life. I need help with that. Oh well.

Today

Today, I feel like... I will never come up with a story for NaNo.
Today, I thought about... my story for NaNo.
Today, I prayed about... my story for NaNo

Something New

I decided to start something new. I started blogging TODAY. In this entry, I finish off three phrases.
Today, I feel like...
Today, I thought about...
Today, I prayed about...

I will be doing that everyday from now on.

Your Ideas

When I get an idea, I usually think about it for awhile, a day or two, to decide if it is a good idea. After that, I write it down in my idea journal. I try to write a date beside it, so that I will know when I got the idea.

I have all of my ideas saved for later use. I have yet to write most of them. This year is the first year that I have considered writing about one of my previous ideas. The past three years, an idea came to me.

I have two copies of my idea journal; one (a pocket size composition book) I carry in my back pocket at all times, the other is a 5.5X8.5 spiral that I keep in my backpack.

I keep meaning to put my ideas in a file on my zip drive.

Past NaNo Experience

I write about romance from a Christian perspective. I also write about church life and how crazy things can be when "CHURCH Folk" start acting up.

I have done NaNo for the past 3 years (since 2004). Here's a description:

2004 - Captive By History - http://www.alwaysinspired.info/nano2004/

It is a story about love, friends, family, and college life. This is the story of how Kourtnee Adams and Colt Austin meet and start dating. It ain't easy for college students trying to study, date, and live life. Enjoy, Captive By History.

Mad Challenge #2 from Mad Challenge

Are you doing NaNo?

Yes, I am.

I have two ideas tossing around in my head. I can also finish last year's novel, but I don't know just yet.

What Is NaNoWriMo?

NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. National Novel Writing Month takes place in the month of November. People all over the world interrupt their already hectic lives and write a 50,000 + word novel. The object of the endeavor is to write 50,000 and that's all that matters. There is no editing, just writing.
