NaNOWriMo is starting....

Tomorrow is the big day... I'm going to start writing my new novel!!( I know I have not finished my last one but... hey. :)

Sense And Sensibility 1995

I'm going to spend today plotting the story so that I will be ready to go tomorrow. I'm not going to tell you anything about it here (*grin*) but if you would like a sneak peak about the story line you can go to my profile.


So do you think I'm crazy?

:):):)

How long should a book be?

My new story is 19,763 words long and 71 pages to far. :P  Do you think I should keep writing? :)

Have a lovely day,

Write or Die... (I mean it.)

Dear fellow writers, 

Have you ever wished that someone would make you write your novel?

Well here is a good way to do it. I don't know if you have clicked that link for the Write Or Die website on the side of my page yet but on the website the  author has a  free online program that will allow you to set the amount of time that you want to write and how many words you want to write.

After you have set these two things you can then set the mode on gentle, normal , or kamikaze Mode. 

Then you can set the grace period at forgiving, strict, or evil.

The point of this program is to encourage you to continue to write by threatening to set off loud and unpleasant noises if you stop writing for too long. :P Many of them I have not experienced and do not plan to. :)

I have found the program to be very wonderful when I am experiencing writer's block.  

Anyway use the program if you dare and watch out for the pink screen. :P 

Happy writing,

You have to kill it. :)

Sorry after such a brutal title I thought I should put a smiley face to relive you feelings.  

When I read this quote I just knew that I had to put it on my writing blog. 

What do you think of it? 

Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public.
 

-- Winston Churchill

Writing....

Hello there,

Here is a good tip for you if you have ever felt like writing a book: ANYONE CAN WRITE A BOOK!

I know that it may seem like a large leap of faith for many of us but after you write your first short book you began to feel a lot more comfortable writing. The first book that I wrote was in 2009 with a program called NaNoWriMo. (Young writer's program) This is a free program for writers that takes place once a year. Ever I took I took this challenge it has seemed more easy for me to write books.



Lately I have been working on writing a new book that I hope to get published some day. I know that there is a lot of bad fiction out there but I am striving in book to make the most of my words. I want my book to be a encouragement to others not just another book.

Right about now I am not writing so much I am reading books about how to write a good fiction book. :) I have found quite a few good ones at the library.


I don't normally get that many books at a time but this particular evening I requested EIGHT books all about fiction writing! (Don't laugh, if you are a big reader this may not seem like that many books to you. But for me it seems like a lot. ) So I have quite a few books on my writing desk just waiting for me to read them. :)
I have found that the more reading I do about writing the more inspired I feel about actually writing my book.

So if you are interested in writing a good book I would suggest that you do these things:

(1)- Make sure that you have a good reason or motivation for writing this book.

(2)- read some books about writing. But keep this in mind, while the information that you are finding may be very good information it may not all work for your writing style. You don't have to follow every single direction that they give you. Be flexible and do what you are comfortable doing. A good one to start with I think would be How to write your book (Guaranteed!) / Williams, Thomas A. (Just be careful when you read it. I have not quite finished it and am not sure it all if it is appropriate.)

(3)- find some good inspiration. I love to read writer's blogs that can be so inspiring to read. Here is a link to a good writer's blog that I have found.

(4)- Don't give up no matter how much you want to. Just take a break if you feel like you need to. Sometimes you just need a break. :)


Feel free to comment and let me know if you have any questions....

Happy writing...

~ Have a wonderful Spring day my friends...~

Hannah Elise....

Happy Spring!! :)

Under the greenwood tree.

Under the greenwood tree,
Who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird's throat,

Come hither, come hither, come hither!
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.

William Shakespeare.

Happy Spring dear readers!!!

Sweet little girls.....

Me...

Walter de la Mare

As long as I live I shall always be My Self- and no other,
just me.

Like a tree.

Like a willow or elder,
An aspen, a thorn,
Or a cypress forlorn.

Like a flower,
For its hour
A primrose, a pink,
Or a violet-
Sunned by the sun,
And with dewdrops wet.

Anyways just me.

Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly lone; give preference to one another in honor;

Sibling friendships.

I love this picture....

It reminds me of a sweet brother and sister in a room together talking...

We are so blessed by God to be given siblings.

Hoping you are having a wonderful day,


Hannah Elise....
