NaNoWriMo for the Writers NaNoReadMo for the Readers!

It's that time of year. November. Where most people (In the US) are dreaming of turkey dinner, the writers are frantically spewing out as many words as their fingers can type (or scribble for those brave souls). It's a hard month.

Check on your writer friends. We are not okay!

Seasoned authors take this challenge a little easier than those new to the daily grind of putting out the words. It's work, in every sense of the word. Sure, everyone can string words together and make a sentence, but to create a world and people it with characters you plan on torturing as they struggle toward a satisfying end goal, takes quite a bit of creative muscle. And maybe a teensy bit of insanity. Not to mention the will to sit there day after day as the empty page mocks you with that blinking cursor. If I knew Morse code I bet all those blinks would spell out something snarky.

And with that in mind, I am doing my part in the author community. All month long I'm hosting Writing Sprints at Three Furies Press. Their group on Facebook will be doing these sprint's daily. I am the late shift host on Wednesday and Saturday nights (After Spilling Ink, of course).

What is a Writing Sprint, you ask? 
Only the best kept secret in motivating authors to silence their inner editor and get that first draft written, fast!

And if you're still stuck on what to write, I suggest checking out this little post on outlining.
Plotting for Pantsers, a NaNoWriMo guide to getting that first draft done, quick!

For those of you following me on social media, this is the reason I may seem a little quiet this month. I have a novel to finish and a deadline coming quick, so I will be doing all I can to power through the first draft.

And that brings me to the second half of this post. NaNo Read More!
All that work we writers do to push through the month of November should be exciting for the readers out there, because it means more books for you to devour. I'm working on finishing the third book in the Running From the Devil trilogy... This little beauty right here...

 Running From the Devil

And of course, I have editing notes to work on for another release which is scheduled to drop in a few short weeks, just in time for Thanksgiving!!
