Do you know what else happens in the fall? The biggest worldwide writing month- NaNoWri Month! I love November (okay so mostly because it’s my birthday month), but I also love the idea that I’m writing madly, passionately, and crazily with thousands of other writes out there.
I definitely plan on starting a new project for NaNo. All three of my Gilded series books were NaNo books. I usually kick off my books in November and write like a maniac until I collapse on the floor on Christmas day. (Then I take like the next year to revise them.)
Are you doing NaNoWri Month? If so, definitely check out:
1. This video link on my NaNo prep
2. This blog post to inspire you in how to stay motivated
Remember, writing doesn’t necessarily always when inspiration hits. It’s just sitting down and hacking out those words- the good, bad, and ugly.
So much has been happening lately. I need to give you updates! First, I’m just thrilled that THE PRINCESS AND THE PAGE got nominated for the Cybil’s. It was also mentioned on ILA’s blog for Fantastical Worlds & Imaginative Possibilities and by BuzzFeed as one of the 100 must-read middle grade fantasy books in the last 10 years!
I’ve been invited to a number of fantastic events this year and into 2018. If you live nearby, come say hi!
