Finally! The muse has been striking! Around New Year's, I came up with an idea for a chapter book series. It's got some educational value to it, but should also hopefully be entertaining, as well. I managed to outline the premise, as well as prospective titles. I even started doing tome research.
Of course, I was going to blog about it, to let you all know, and then didn't have a chance...
I managed to get a couple of pages written in that book and then let it go for a bit. Today, I felt like I needed to do something productive before watching the football championship games. I opened up the laptop, thinking I would work on the book I had started during NaNo. Instead, Beth and Derek were calling to me.
My fingers flew across the keyboard and now I can say that the first two chapters are complete. I also was able to figure out the missing piece of the quest. I knew there had to be something for which they were searching, just wasn't quite sure how to go about it. I'm excited.
Now, I definitely need to do some more research, to make sure my facts are correct, before I keep on writing. I hope I can do that part soon! And, in the meantime, perhaps some of those other stories will also yell in my ear.

'Writing Habit Mastery' by S.J. Scott $0.99 Countdown Special 1/13-1/19
LEARN:: How to Forever Eliminate Writer's Block and Write THOUSANDS of Words a Day
Do you struggle to write every day? Many people dream of becoming a successful author, but can't *find* the time to write. The truth is this: Great writers don't have more time than you do. They make time to write. Not only do they make time, they also follow specific routines that help them avoid writer's block altogether.
By developing the "writing habit" you'll have the confidence to sit down in front of a computer every day, knowing the words will come.
YOUR GOAL:: Write 2,000 Words a Day -- Every Day!
One of the key factors to effectively developing ANY habit is choosing a specific, measurable goal. So if you want to become a prolific writer, then you'll need to choose a specific word count for each day. While I *suggest* 2,000 words as a goal, you can pick any number that fits in with your busy schedule. You might choose 500 or 1,000 words a day. Or, you might have more time than I do (or write faster than I do) and choose to write 3,000 or 10,000 words each day. The important thing is to establish a daily word count goal and then stick to it.
In "Writing Habit Mastery" you'll learn how to incorporate writing into your daily routine. What you'll get is a strategy and list of tools that will help you develop a sustainable writing habit and demolish writer's block.
"Writing Habit Mastery" contains a step-by-step blueprint of habits and routines you can use to develop this routine.
Inside this guide you'll learn how to:
- Establish the PERFECT writing routine and environment
- Find the time to write--even if you have a full-time job
