Writing – Passing The Quill

It is the fourth Friday of the month, and I’m still focused on my writing. Today is a wonderful celebration of my writing.

For the first time since I took time away from my normal routine to be one of the caregivers for my mother around 3 years ago.

I tried to keep writing, but it became harder and harder. All the emotions of those years caused my writing and creativity became less and less. There were times I thought I would never write again.

My mother went to be with the Lord on the 4th of July. Since that time I’ve fought to bring back my writing.

This morning that all changed. I woke this morning with words and sentences in my head. I got up, sat at the computer, and typed in 685 words. The words flowed easily.

I’m celebrating the feeling of being a real writer again. I’m heading to the Write His Answer Conference feeling like I really belong as a writer.

I’d love to have you join me at the conference. You can find the information by clicking here.

November month is NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month. It is a worldwide challenge to write a 50,000-word novel during November.
The concept is to put the story running around in your head on paper (or computer) without editing or judging that story.

I am feeling proud of myself since, as of this morning, I have written 34,628 words. In December, I can start editing the story. With the working title of Healing Shards, my story is the sequel to my novel Shattered Trust and continues the story of Logan and Margaret.

But participating in NaNoWriMo is not stoping the process of working on my Jesus Gets Hand-Me-Downs children’s book series. The editing continues. The plan is still to have at least the first two books available before Easter.
To all my writing friends – Happy Writing.
