#InstaWrimo Days 25 thru 30

Image
Well, today is the last day of the #InstaWrimo prep month and I have enjoyed doing it all month and sharing the pictures with everyone here. If I haven't already I apologize if it seems like I am bombarding people with stuff for NaNoWriMo . But that is my "theme" right now since I don't know what else to write about at the moment. Of course, I will try to come up with other topics that aren't just about NaNoWriMo. Anyhow enough with my rambling, because here are the last six pictures as well as the links backs to the intro and days 1-6 , days  7-12 ,  days 13-18 and days 19-24 . Day 25: Theme song for your MC  While I don't have a specific theme for my male MC I think this sums up part of what he goes through in my novel. Day 26: What's in your MC's pocket?  In my MC's pocket is earbuds, a rosary, nail clippers, chapstick, a pen, a small notebook, a St. Anthony medal, and a St. Joseph medal. Day 27: Outli...

#InstaWrimo Days 19 thru 24

Just in case you missed it in my last two posts but here is the link to the post that I did with an explanation of what #InstaWrimo is with days 1 thru 6, and then the posts with days 7 thru 12 and days 13 thru 18 respectively. So here are days 19 thru 24. Day 19: Overheard Dialogue  This is something that I said to my brother while at the aquarium today (the 19th). Me: Anthony look its electric!  Brother: *starts singing the Electric Slide* Day 20: Map (any kind)  This map is of the downtown area in a city near me and  I thought that it would work for my novel. Day 21: Outdoor Setting  While it's not the outdoor setting for my novel, I took these pictures in DC  back  in May when I was there visiting (Yes you get 2 pictures today). Day 22: Seasonal Changes  The trees haven't started changing yet, so I am using a picture that I took last year. Day 23: Mysterious Object  While the obj...

#InstaWrimo Days 13 thru 18

Here are days 13 thru 18 for the #InstaWrimo prep that I am doing to prepare for  NaNoWriMo  this year. To check out days 1 thru 6 and an explanation  here is the link  to the post and days 7 thru 12 here . Day 13: Working Title  My working title came about late one night while I was listening to the song  " Shadows of the Night " by Pat Benatar and I thought that it would make a good novel title. Day 14: Author signature  Normally my signature is a lot bigger than this, but I decided to try writing it smaller.  It still looks like a mess. Day 15: NaNo support crew  My NaNo support crew is all of my knitting projects because I can still be creative  while taking a break from writing. (Don't worry my family is my support crew as well) Day 16: Cast your main character(s)  I don't really have any actors etc. that I would want to portray my MCs but here  is what I imagine they l...

#InstaWrimo Days 7 thru 12

Here are days 7 thru 12 for the #InstaWrimo prep that I am doing to prepare for NaNoWriMo this year. To check out days 1 thru 6 and an explanation here is the link to the post. I will be sharing compilation posts every six days so that I am not bombarding and boring people by a post every day (it is also easier to do it that way). If you haven't followed me yet or didn't know I had it, my writing-related Instagram account is megan_writes3294. Day 7: Doodle or Scribble.  I did a little bit if doodling and scribbling today, though I cheated and used a stencil. In case it's hard to read, the words are the first line from the song "Shadows of the Night" by Pat Benatar. Day 8: Favorite Word. I know it's only supposed to be one favorite word, but I couldn't decide between which one was my most favorite so I included all three. Day 9: Lucky charm  My lucky charm is my dog because he is always there when you need a cuddle and som...

It's NaNo Prep Time

Image
As you probably all know by now I have been doing NaNoWriMo for the past few years now and every year I write a post or two on it. Well here is this year's obligatory NaNo post, but I will be doing it a little bit differently today. found on Facebook The reason why it is a little different this year is that myself and the large NaNoWriMo Facebook group are doing #InstaWrimo, which can be found in the picture on the left. Today is day 6 of #instawrimo and I have managed to keep up with that so far, but we will see how well that works later in the month, especially when I get a new job. While I don't have the plot for my novel this year completely worked out I do have some ideas that I want to incorporate, I just need to iron them out and organize them. To go with the ideas that I have my working title is "Shadow of the Night." In the meantime, while I go figure out my novel ideas here are the pictures that I have taken so far for #instawrimo and I hope tha...
