A world of stories

Hello fellow writers,

Did you ever notice that we live in a world full of stories? They're everywhere! Beyond books, magazines, tv, and films, I find lots of stories in music, the oddball things people I know do (especially kids), and artwork.

Currently, I've been listening to Traci Chapman's music. She is a masterful songwriter. Many of her songs have whole stories. Check her out. Her songs "Tin Man" and "Cold Feet" are awesome.

I've decided to issue myself a challenge over the past week: Write at least as many pages as I do in miles working out. How's it going? Well, I logged
74 miles, and I wrote 86 pages. So far, so good! Mini challenges seem to work for me.

Until next time,
Write on!

New Story!

Hello writers,

Another story idea is making that critical leap from my brain to paper! It's so exciting when that happens and words begin to flow onto the page. This one's a love story. I love love stories.

Until next time,

Write on!

Nanowrimo

Hi folks,

We're at the halfway point for nanowrimo. My goal was 50,000 words on my new story for the month. I reached that goal last week! Yipee! Now I can relax a bit and just write. Double Yipee!

Nanowrimo

Hi folks,

This month I'm participating in Nanowrimo, the national novel writing month. It started last night at midnight with a local kickoff party (after all the Halloween festivities!) at a restaurant. We typed away on our laptops until 1:30am! I got 2500 words on my new story.

Today, its up to 5000 words!

Stay tuned for further progress!

Until next time,
Write on!
