I exceeded my Day 1 NaNoWriMo word count goal. This means that I have some time to do other things besides working on my NoNo book. This year I'm a NaNo Rebel which means that I'm doing some personal writing instead of working on a novel. This year I decided to take some personal time when it comes to writing. 

I chose to do this in blog style with the date and time at the top of each entry. The heading will look similar to the heading I use in this blog. I will attempt either a daily or every-other-day update of my November writing effort. I don't know precisely what each entry will contain because the only planning I did was to write a few ideas for each day's entry and plan the format of the date at the top of the first page of the entry. 

Motivational Monday: What is my motivation this week?

Saturday and Sunday I reviewed on writing.com while procrastinating on doing surveys. Therefore, I have to check several of the survey websites for survey, or should I say, income opportunities. I also have to submit at least one item to a writing.com contest and finish a story. I think that is all I have to day, but that could change before the end of the week. I know I will have to take a few minutes (understatement) out of my day to early vote.  

Today it is raining, so I am using that as an excues to stay in. I do not want to get wet. The only thintgs I have to keep me dry are two hoodies, a windbreaker, and two umbrellas. One of the umbrellas is in the car, but I do not know the location of the umbrella I keep in the house. It could be in a box in my room or in a drawer. It rains so little here in Las Vegas that the umbrella does not get much use. I suppose I could use it as a sunshield in the summer. 

I have finished my NaNoWriMo outline or planning document whichever you want to call it. I also have the document set up in my writing.com port for my NaNo writing effort. I am working on a perrsonal memoir instead of a fantasy or science fiction novel. I going to close now by wishing everyone Happy Writing. 

I Am a NaNo Rebel

Only eleven days until the beginning of National Novel Writing Month. On November 1 the writing frenzy begins. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in thirty days. That means a writer has to complete at least 1,667 words a day. During NaNoWriMo I attempt and succeed at writing 50,000 words. This year I'm participating in NaNoWriMo, but I won't be working on fiction. Instead I'll write nonfiction. 

The title of my book is The Test, Tribulations, Joys, and Meditations of Prosperous Snow. The genre is personal with spiritual overtones. The first reason I chose this title because my Also Known As is Prosperous Snow.  The second is that something has changed in my life and I need to write some personal stuff so that I can focus. I figured NaNoWriMo was a good time to do it.
