• How’s Your #NaNoWriMo Going?


    Who’s participating in Nano?

    **waves hand wildly**

    How are things going for you?

    I’m having a blast with nano. We meet on Twitter under the hashtag #NanoBots all the time for sprints. So far, the words have been flowing freely, so I’ve been writing every free minute I have outside my day job.

    It’s funny, because on the nano site, you’re supposed to put in a title and little description on what you’re writing.

    I had neither.

    For this year’s Nano, I am writing the sequel to Forged By Fate. Remember that one? You all helped me find a title?

    Yeah, I often don’t have titles, or even character names while writing books. I just run with it. And during the writing of this sequel, book THREE has popped into my head as well.

    So I’m going to just keep writing as long as the words flow.

    How is your Nano going? Not doing Nano this year? What’s on your plate? Or maybe you’re a reader. Are your favorite authors participating in Nano? What books are you hoping they’re writing sequels to?

    Okay, so who’s participating in NaNoWriMo? Come find me, I’m LynnRush over there.

    It’s my third year this year doing NaNo, and I’m working on Wasteland 3. I’m super excited to write this story and see where Durk takes things.

    He’s a nearly 400 year old Guardian who’s….well….a little mad about being a Guardian right now. So, I’m having fun writing his rebellion. **evil grin**

  • NaNoWriMo


    Okay, some of you might be going, “HUH? What the heck is a NaNoWriMo?”

    I first thought that as well. **LOL**

    It stands for National Novel Writing Month.

    You might be smirking, “Yeah, right. Write a novel in a month?”

    Well, it’s actually a “contest” to see if we can get 50,000 words on our next noveldone from November 1st to November 30th.

    Sure, some novels are 50,000 words, but mine aren’t, so I use this as a starting point. I’m going to try and write Emma and Jake’s third book, which you all helped me title: Violet Storm.

    It’s totally fun to go through the process with so many other writers. Makes the process a tad less lonely, you know?

    Are you guys doing it? Come “buddy” me and we’ll go through it together. My username is LynnRush.

  • Wanna help?


    Have you guys heard of NaNoWriMo?

    Well, I’m kinda toying with the idea of writing book three to Emma’s story. I’ve got the first two done:

    Violet Midnight and Violet Dawn

    I have some ideas sparking to life in my head about the third book, so I’m thinking I’ll try it for NaNo, but, I need a title.

    I mean, I don’t NEED NEED a title to do NaNo, but it’s nice to have something to type in next to what I’m working on.

    CLICK HERE for a brief description of Violet Midnight. That might help.

    I obviously want to try and keep violet in the title somewhere, and I have a few ideas written down (like, Violet Moon or Violet Night,) but I wanted to hear from you guys.

    Any ideas?

    I’d love to hear them.

  • Musical Mondays: Guest Blogger–My Hubby


    Since my wife, Lynn, is busy writing for NaNoWriMo, she asked me to guest blog for musical mondays.

    I love music, and I’m always impressed by musicians and how they produce music. I heard some trivia this weekend. The song “I Can’t Go for That” by Hall and Oates, was a actually sampled by Michael Jackson for the intro to “Billy Jean” So….I picked this song. Try to hear it.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=606KHmS8VhU]

    You can say what you want about Hall and Oates (cheesy, big mustache, etc). But, to date they are still the number 1 selling duet of all time. They produced something like 7 number 1 songs in the 80’s!!! Enjoy.

    Oh, and Lynn, get back to work 😉

  • Friday Funnies


    Happy Friday, everyone. Hope your week has been treating you fairly well. I’ve been hunched over the keyboard most of the week pounding out some word counts for the NaNoWriMo.

    Are you doing Nano? Then you’re probably needing a stress reliever, so I found some cute pictures that hopefully will make you smile. . . maybe even chuckle a little.
