Happy Halloween and NaNoWriMo Eve
First, Happy Halloween. If you are going trick or treating tonight, have fun and be safe. Oh, and take lots of pictures so I can laugh at you so I can see how much fun you had!
I cannot believe that NaNoWriMo is seriously almost here – I’m just over 12 hours away from being able to start. It’s about time too, because I’ve been warding off my plot bunnies for many days now, and am still happily sticking to the second plot idea I came up with. I won’t let her in anymore, because she keeps trying to change my mind.
The Aussie’s have already started their NaNoWriMo. Funny, I wish I was them. I’m ready to get started (as I’m sure you couldn’t tell by my blog or if you follow me on twitter).
So here are a few things you can do today to pass the time and get you ready to write.
- Make sure your character is not a Mary Sue.
- Fill out a character worksheet to get to know your MC better.
- Practice your writing without stopping.
- Spend some time on the NaNo Forums.
- Keep your eye out for my video pep talk coming later this afternoon.
Have any advice for NaNoWriMo? Post it below

Welcome!
Hi there, I am Nicole. This blog is a combination of my little corner of the writing world and the previous website known as Freelance Writer's Exchange. Please be sure and leave a comment so I know you visited, and so I can come visit you.
Are you participating in NaNoWriMo in 2010? If you are, leave me a comment with your id and I'll add you as a friend! 2010 will be my 5th year winning, and my 7th year participating.
What I'm tweeting:
- Manuscript: something submitted in haste and returned at leisure. - Oliver Herford ;)
- Wish I had a pub in Ireland I could hang out at today.
- #WriterWednesday @TheBookPatch @MyraMcEntire @ChristophSchott @sushimustwrite @ReginaldStJohn @Wisneski @TonyNoland @TheVeganOne
- The difference between the right word & almost the right word is the difference between lightning & the lightning bug. - Mark Twain
- The plus side is, I really like Irish music. :) So that's my inspiration currently.
- Lost in Ireland. Not because of the date, but because that is where my characters took me a few weeks ago. #amwriting

I’m in the same boat you’re in…ready to write. I’m counting down the hours while watching horror movies. Looking forward to reading more of your posts as NaNoWriMo pushes on. Have a wonderful and safe Halloween.
