Quote of the Day...

  • "It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." Alan Cohen

Getting ready for my next challenge...


I love this picture by Ben Tolman...thought I would leave this for you, since I start writing my novel tomorrow night and won't be around for a few days.

There is not much time now before the contest begins and I have a lot of research to do yet. I try not to do much of an outline because I try to work with the actual contest of writing a novel in 3 days - from concept to creation.

Perhaps I should have it pretty much all done by now and just ready to write it all down, but to me, that is not the spirit of the contest.

I'm making notes, doing background information and have a rough outline, but beyond that - nothing except a thought in my head and a few words I have written here and there...

I love this challenge and to me the thrill is in actually doing the writing and completing it by the end date. I dont ever expect to win, for me that is not the goal. For me it is to actually do it - and then see what else I can do!

I hope you spend the next few days challenging yourself to achieve even your wildest dreams... I know I will...

Until we meet again...
