Musings On National Novel Writing Month

I have added a few hundred words to my novel for this year's National Novel Writing Month. It's kind of sad that it's over, but, I am working on one of my writing books right now, so hopefully I'll have that done in December. I'd like to have the manuscript submitted by the end of 2006.
I am excited that my words are taking shape and that the idea I had for this one writing book is going to be more of a diary type book. It'll contain entries from this blog, as well as new ones. I want to inspire other writers to follow their hearts and write. Even if they can't pen the words yet, they'll have the ability to follow the life of another artist. I know I've always enjoyed reading about the writing journey of others!
At any rate my schedule will be jam packed with events from now on. If you are in the Plymouth area in Michigan on December 10th 2006, please stop by the Book Cellar & Cafe to say hi and perhaps buy a book from me. I profiled this book store in October, and the response to the article has been favorable. Both of the book store owners were pleased with the story and the outcome from it. My article is hanging inside the store too.
When I stopped by the other day to drop off books at Michigan Made and More, which is next door to the Book Cellar and Cafe, I saw a young lady standing in front of the window reading my poster which showcases my book, "Woman Reclining". I'll have to make up some more book covers for other businesses that'll carry my book.
It was a surreal moment, and one that made my day! Now, if she'll go inside and buy my book...........
