How has your 30 day writing challenge been going? Mine had a rocky start, but I am pulling it together. I find that I get a lot of joy out of writing, even if it is hundreds of words a day. The story I am working on is a remix of my Nano book this year. It is fun to delve farther into my characters backgrounds, get to know them a little bit better. The story takes on a whole different life when you are not so rushed to put words down on the page.
Just the other day I was trying to work through a plot twist. My MC ran into big trouble that I wasn't counting on, and it really threw me for a loop. It doesn't change the overall outcome of the book, but it sure throws a wrench in all the plans I had made. Now I have to figure out how to get her out of trouble but stay in love with my Hero. Oh the joys of writing!
I hope you all are able to pound some words out here or there. I know it can be hard with the demands of life, but why not do something that makes you happy. A few minutes in my imaginary world with my imaginary friends makes a whole lot of difference in the real world. So do something for yourself and your readers and get creative!

30 Day Writing Challenge
OK, I am doing this mostly for me to get back on track this year, but I am going to do a 30 day writing challenge. I have lots of projects I want to be working on but I don't find the time to do it, so this month I am going to make time. This isn't going to be like Nano, I am not going for a word count, I am just going for quality writing time. I don't care if it is 10 words a day, but I AM going to write.
I recently saw something about writing that said if you are not dedicated enough to your craft then you will not succeed. I want to enjoy writing, but also be productive. So anyone who wants to join me I hope to be adding updates every few days about my progress. I am not starting a new project but working on something I started during Nano. This is my hope that this year I can get a couple more books published and I think this is a good way to start. Good luck fellow writers and I hope your New Year's writing goals are a success!
