It’s #nanowrimo – 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐚π₯ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞π₯ 𝐖𝐫𝐒𝐭𝐒𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐑.

Years back this month came to my attention as a number of people I knew “on the internet” were participating and writing 50,000 words in one month! WOW!

I tried my hand at it and unlike a normal person I couldn’t just open Word or something, so I put effort into building a free writing site based on a point system to keep everyone participating. We had 500+ members.

Oddly, the next month I did write a 50,000+ word story but it never saw the light of day.

Then one day a few years later after some dust settled after some major life changes, I wrote my first nonfiction, then the next, then the next, then the next.

Then I wrote my first epic, and the duet, and last month published the prequel – π‘Όπ’‘π’”π’Šπ’…π’† π‘«π’π’˜π’.

Last week I met with another book club to discuss 𝑻𝒉𝒆 π‘Ίπ’˜π’π’“π’… 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 π‘Ίπ’–π’π’‡π’π’π’˜π’†π’“ and it was one of the most unique and fascinating (and vulnerable) experiences I’ve ever had.

Everything starts somewhere, and writing starts with one thing: giving yourself a license to write.

So if you don’t want to give it, I’m giving it to you.

Here. Hold on to this, because I am introducing something beyond the podcast to help you write a book.

Stay tuned…
