My novel still feels flat. X( *kills internal editor*
Yes, friends, no Thursday Thirteen this week or for the next few weeks until November ends because my brain is too wired to focus on anything else but NaNoWriMo (or work). So T13 on refineme.org will return on December. :)
Anyway. MAN. I haven’t budged in my novel. I might have overworked myself yesterday, but I believe in getting a good headstart. Now I still feel some kind of annoyance at how flat my main character seems even after all the planning. :( Rain is still too talkative, and I can’t find a good situation to show and not tell. Argh.
[pep talk] I can do this. I can do this. [/pep talk]

Novels are not written by novelists. Novels are written by everyday people who give themselves permission to write novels. Whatever your writing experience, you have a book in you that only you can write. And November is a beautiful month to get it written.

I can do this! I can do this! :)
YOU CAN DO IT SISTER! You’re doing it for all of us who are always “too busy” (too LAZY!) to get back to the blank page. I’m TOTALLY rooting for you. I’m anxious to read about RAIN too. Write on dreamer of dreams. Write on chaser of heart’s desires. Write on storyteller. Write on heart on fire. Write on author. Go! Go! Go!
*SQUEEZE*
‘TINA,
How’s the book coming along? Peek? Please? Ha! Stay motivated and keep going; you’re writing for the both of us. (=- So inspiring. I trust all else is well; hopefully you can balance it all. Keep in touch between work and writing. Love ya bunches sister. Bunches. *squeeze* GBYA! (=-
Hey Tina. I was reading through the book that I was talking to you about when you said you got your idea for this novel. And I thought, hey why not share a little bit… dunno if it’ll help much with your novel, but at the very least, it is a nice lesson to learn about dependency on God.
This is from the book Daring to Draw Near by John White. He is discussing Genesis 32:22-32…
God bless.
