From stuff

What are your thoughts on NaNoWriMo? I personally don't think I can go to classes and produce a novel in a month and still say I came out of it with what sanity I have left still in tact. I may take a month during the summer to do it...Or just write 50,000 words over the course of a month because, let's face it, if I were to do an entire novel in one month, it would be pretty much free writing and I hate free writing with a passion. I'm more of a write on my arms/napkins/TP when the muse hits me upside the head with a fish kinda girl. I can't sit down for ten minutes and write what comes to mind. I'd much rather write down a couple lines with some cool imagery like this: 


Ethereal. Whispers singing the high percussion of air being sliced betwixt two steel rings at break neck speeds. The shadowy vestiges of metal hula-hoops spinning- running Earth’s diameter. Beneath. Above. Beside. This basin of all and nothing.

Rather than an entire paragraph of "I hate these shoes. They hurt. Why did I wear them?" But that's just me! So, I'd love to hear what everyone thinks about NaNoWriMo and/ or free writing. If you want to share some secrets of the trade that seem to work for you that'd be pretty awesome too! 


P.S. - Incase you're wondering, that little piece describes the sound I was hearing the other day when I was standing at the top of the North face of the mountain at Seven Springs. It was probably just the distant high way but anything sounds amazing when you're on the top of the world.

Creative Re-mix

| No Comments
Since my previous blog portfolio, I have learned some pretty interesting stuff in Writing for the Internet. 

I learned: 
  • That pictures are worth a thousand words...or that they just go really well together. 
  • If you can't draw, don't play guess the emotion... a.k.a. Therapist's charades. 
  • I learned that it is ridiculously hard to find words in their proper tenses when I need them.
  • I learned that self- publishing does not automatically exclude you from getting into the e-book market.
  • I also learned that Creative Commons can be a girl's best friend (besides chocolate).

Self- Publishing

| 2 Comments
So I found this link that was posted on Twitter (by John Green, not self-published but still an amazing writer) about a self- published author who is on the e-book best-seller lists. It's just proof that 1) self- publishing does work and 2) e-books rock. If you self- publish, you get the majority of those earnings back.
