It's almost time for NaNoWriMo. I have signed up for eleven years, but I have yet to write a novel.
This year will be different.
I will write 50,000 words in November.
I'm preparing for NaNoWriMo right now.
I'd love to have some writing buddies. I'm debnance there.
Nonfiction November is a month dedicated to celebrating nonfiction…we’ll talk about our favorite nonfiction, trade recommendations, discuss our nonfiction reading habits, and hopefully discover some new book blogs! There will be a link-up for your posts every Monday…see Sarah’s Bookshelves for the schedule of events and where to find the link-ups.
Here are some books I may read/reread for Nonfiction November:
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg
Old Friend from Far Away: The Power of Writing Memoir by Natalie Goldberg
If You Want to Write by Brenda Ueland
Are you planning to do Nonfiction November and/or NaNoWriMo?
I heartily recommend all four non-fiction books. You will be inspired! Best of luck with NaNoWriMo ... I know you will finish and I am cheering you on :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Molly!
DeleteI need to prep for Nonfiction November sometime since I love nonfiction. Good luck with NaNoWriMo!
ReplyDeleteI really intend to focus on nonfiction in November. Thank you, Kathy.
DeleteAll the very best on your NaNoWriMo. And thanks for the great recommendations.

Thank you!
DeleteBest of luck! You've got this :)
ReplyDeleteI do feel much more prepared this time.
DeleteGood luck with NaNoWriMo! You will enjoy it. I participated in it after retirement, in 2010, and did go on to publish the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
That is encouraging to hear.
DeleteI'm looking forward to Nonfiction November... so many books to read! Good luck with NaNoWriMo :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, JoAnn!
DeleteI have read quite a bit of non-fiction already this year so am not doing Non-fiction November. You've probably already read some of my favorite non-fiction: Boys in the Boat; Just Mercy; and Picking Cotton.
ReplyDeleteI think I will look for Picking Cotton. I have a copy of Boys in the Boat here, and I have read Just Mercy.
DeleteI think all the NaNo people are crazy, but I hope you’re able to write your novel! I’m doing Nonfiction November. I’m not signing up for anything because I won’t have time to write extra posts. I’m looking forward to reading lots of nonfiction, though.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I think I'm going to work on my Nonfiction November posts early so I can spend a lot of time writing NaNoWriMo.
DeleteOh good luck you with NaNoWriMo! Wishing you lots of inspiration and success :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI hope you are able to write your novel. I am not a nonfiction person really. But, that doesn't mean I shouldn't try at least one in November. See if I like it. Good luck with your challenge!

Good for you, Mary!
DeleteGood luck with NaNoWriMo! I'm definitely more of a reader than a writer myself. I wish it was different though. I always loved writing. I just can't think of the stuff I'd want to write.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I posted my first post today for nonficnov: https://wordsandpeace.com/2018/10/29/nonfiction-november-my-year-2018-in-nonfiction/
ReplyDeleteI actually write a lot every week, as I do translation. So I plan this year to keep track of all my words and make a weekly post
