It’s November which means Nano month. I have heard editors dread this time of the year because of the influx of submissions they get shortly there after. But I figure, what ever kicks you in the butt and gets you motivated, then go for it.

It’s another tool in a writers arsenal. Even if you don’t finish by the end of November, if it gets you on the right track or being productive when otherwise Spider Solitaire may call you, then rock out!

As luck would have it, I saw SEVERAL of my fav movies over the weekend–like the stars were lined up just for me. These are movies I probably know by heart and the kids roll their eyes when they know that they are on, “You’re watching that AGAIN?!?”

“Well yeah.”

What does that have to do with writing? They make my heart pitter-patter and I want to create a hero just like that or a scene with that much passion or even the bi*atch that is just as bi*atchy. And some that I just get sucked into time and again. (and they are Speed, Center Stage, Soul Survivors, What a Girl Wants, and lest we forget Friday night was the Live Ghost Hunters special. I will watch these EVERY time I find them on tv).

Back to Nano: I have been inspired the way I needed. I have a story that deserves telling and I wrote Saturday and Sunday–WOOHOO. I will get back to it today once the house settles down. Thank goodness for the Alphasmart. I can plug along where I need to! WRITE ON!

I hope you decided to Nano too!
