Book of the Month ~ October

Maybe you’re thinking about writing a 50,000-word novel in a month. Would you like to know what you’re getting yourself into?

NOVEL WRITER'S SURVIVAL GUIDE offers a lighthearted—and little bit crazy—look at writing a 50,000-word novel in a month. It offers everything you need to know, and probably more than a few things you don’t want to know, about writing a novel in 30 days. 

Invites you into the magic inside your mind and shows you how to make the writing magic happen. It offers a workbook for planning your novel and a road map for your month-long, novel-writing journey. 

It encourages you to bring forth and listen to all your totally magnificent novel ideas your muse whispers inside your mind and your imagination, and how to actually survive a 30-day writing marathon. 

Inside this 30-day guide to writing your novel, you’ll find:

• The essential elements to include in your novel;
• Premise, promise, and purpose of your novel;
• Story seeds—shaping and setting up your novel;
• How to structure and sketch out your story;
• Three-act structure, hero’s journey, and beat sheets;
• Setting, world-building, and creating your characters;
• Capturing your plot bunnies and random thoughts;
• How to develop your plot, subplots, and story line;
• Foreshadowing, flashbacks, and back story;
• Brainstorms, road maps, and sketchy shapes.
• How to prep for a 30-day writing marathon;
• What you should do if your muse goes missing;
• The secret to writing a novel in thirty days;
• The truth about writer’s block and brain burn-out;
• Dreaming... how to write your story in your sleep;
• Visualizing... seeing things that aren’t really there;
• Positive pep talks and a 30-day doubt dialog; and
• How to open your imagination and set it free.

Writerly words of wisdom are interspersed throughout the book. There’s also a magical word fairy running through the pages.

When I decided to write a novel in thirty days, it was just for a lark—an interesting way to challenge myself and to see if I could actually do it. What I didn't know when I started was that not only did I discover I could write a decent, cohesive first draft of a novel in thirty days, but that an idea for another book would be born during that time—a nonfiction "how-to" for writing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days, which you're reading about right now.

You can do this! You can write a novel in a month!

Available on Amazon. 

When I set out to write a novel in thirty days, I didn't have a clue. I'd written novels before, but not in a month. So I sat down at my laptop and watched the words appear on the screen. 

I ended up writing a novel about writers writing a novel in thirty days—Novel Quest: A 30-Day Novel-Writing Adventure. Offers a humorous look at writers writing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days, time morphing, a kahuna quest, the power of wishes, the magic of words, and the reality of imagination.

WHISPERS BEYOND THE RAINBOW was born somewhere inside a dream journey. I wondered what it would be like to travel through a rainbow and what I'd find in each color.

WHISPERS is a visionary novella, written as a meditation that invites you to travel on the wings of your spirit to explore the multidimensional realms within you and the worlds of the universe around you to remember who you truly are... a powerful, spiritual being of light.

Journey through magical, mystical worlds of inner images as your spirit travels on wings of light into special, sacred places inside your soul.

Listen to the whispers and look beyond the rainbow to enter a multidimensional realm of knowledge and remembrance.

Chapter One ~ The Rainbow Path

Once upon a dream...

Still half asleep, I listened to the rain patter gently on the glass of the open window. The sound was lulling and soothing, comforting and relaxing.

I felt as if I was dreaming, as if I was inside a magical, wonderful dream. As the soft, steady rhythm of the rain continued to gently tap on the window, I felt peaceful and quiet within myself.

Thinking I should get up and close the window, I noticed it was nearly dawn. The sun was beginning to rise, spreading its light over the earth. I thought this was curious—that the sun could be seen through the clouds.

I rose to close the window and looking up at the sky, I saw the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen. It was shimmering in the light reflected from the sun, radiating sparkles of rainbow-colored light everywhere.

It seemed to surround me like a perfect dome that touched the earth and the sky. The colors of the rainbow were vibrant and pure, a shimmering spectrum of colors that blended into one another, vibrating perfectly in tune with each other, creating harmony within my mind and my soul. 

I wondered how a rainbow could appear in the sky when it was still raining and the sun wasn't fully above the horizon or clearly visible through the soft, misty clouds and decided I must be dreaming. The clouds began to clear—becoming iridescent, then luminous, and then transparent—and the rainbow seemed to open up in the sunshine, showing me a path inside its colors.

"Follow your dream," the rainbow whispered.

If I was dreaming, I thought to myself, then maybe I could fly up into and through this shimmering rainbow and follow the path to see where it would lead me. It sounded like a wonderful thing to do and I decided to follow this dream.

I heard the voice whisper again in my mind, somewhere inside my dream. "Would you like to take a wonderful journey into a magical, mystical place where you can follow a rainbow path to open up the true reality of your physical world and explore the multidimensionality of your soul, to remember and rediscover all the knowledge you have within you as you awaken to your spiritual self?"

"Yes," I said, and I was inside the color red at the bottom of the rainbow. I wondered what I'd find inside each color.

Whispers is available as both a print book and an ebook on Amazon.
