Camp NaNoWriMo and Simplified Book

​

SIMPLIFIED BOOK

This is the first book I'm writing in the How to Tell or Learn a Life Story Series. Note that it's the SIMPLIFIED Version. This will be a book about the basics of writing or making an audio recording of your life story or someone else's. Let's face it. Not everyone is a writer and not everyone is vocal. This book will help either style you are as you tell or learn a life story. 

CAMP NANOWRIMO AND SIMPLIFIED BOOK

I'm participating in CAMP NaNoWriMo in the month of July, where I plan to write 50,000 words of this book during the month. No. It's non-fiction, and isn't a novel, but it's a book and I'm going to sue Camp NaNoWriMo (Camp National Novel Writing Month) to help me stay motivated to write this book--and write it fast. 

I will write this and share with you my stories as I work on writing this book. I will do so on this blog (the one listed below--RYPLS), not on my Writings of SD blog. 

Today, I'm going to start to outline it and tomorrow, I start Camp NaNoWriMo. Woo-hoo!

A New Kind of Fiction Writing

A New Kind of Fiction Writing

I have been a little quiet the last couple of weeks as far as writing and my latest writing project. I will continue to be so until next week. But, I will support this.

I am doing a new kind of fiction writing. I used to be a panther and used to type things up as I go.

How many novels do I have published using this approach? One.
One in four years, I might add.
Do you know know how many I've written cover to cover, but haven't published? About twenty.
Do you know how many I have written to about the halfway mark? About one hundred.
Do you know how many I got to the one-third mark? Hundreds.
Do you know how many genres I've tried? All of them.

See the problem?
I do not finish.

I have the commitment, but I tend to write myself in a corner I have no idea how to get myself out of or through. Consequently, I've decided to change how I write entirely.
I have decided to do some book planning for a couple of days. But, I am using a steno pad and a PaperMate Flair in blue and black ink as I plan. (Check. Done.)
Then, I outlined the total book, spiral pad, marker pens. Check. Done.
Now, I'm writing the rough draft on write-up pads with marker pens.  It will take 11 spiral pads for each book, let me add, and I have no idea how many marker pens.

Also, I'm only allowing myself to write 1,500 words per day. No more.
If I have any time left, I use it to study my writing craft more through reading novels and studying them and evaluating them.

So far, I've gotten more done than I have in five years and I think it's the best idea and most solid of writing I've ever done.

I'll keep you updated. It's exciting.

Also, I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo with this novel, which starts July 1st.

Psalm 23 (06.26.2014)

Psalm 23:1 HCSB
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I lack.

The Lord is...
He exists.
He is and always will be. He has always been.
He is and has an identity. He has character and attributes. There are certain things that describe Him.
The Lord is my shepherd.
He isn't just anyone's shepherd. He's mine (and yours).
He is my shepherd. He takes care of me like a shepherd takes care of his sheep.
Wow. Wonder of wonders.

Bible Study or Devotional on the Twenty-Third Psalm (Psalm 23). 06.25.2014.

Look up this link first: https://new.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Psalm%2023:1

The Lord is...

The Lord exists.

He is real.

I don't know about you, but I can ponder and prayer journal about this alone for days, weeks, months,and even years.

What does this mean to you and for your life?

Prayer Journal your thoughts.
