Hello all! This is the last Monday in October--which
leads me to my next point. Are you getting ready for National Writing Month? I
feel as though I've been caught up in the whirlwind of life lately. I haven't
had as much time for writing and editing. I feel like NanoWriMo is designed especially for me. No
matter what, I'm always selfish during the month of November. It's my time to
focus on my writing. Hopefully, I'll elaborate on this more in my annual Nano
Prep post. I'm praying I have time to write it this year. While you're getting
ready for NanoWriMo, maybe you could test the waters with a short story. Write
it, then submit it. Two more days of freedom!
Contests:
1. Short Story Contest: Bethlehem Writers Roundtable
