Still time for a fun contest! Check out the reviews for Helena’s Memoirs and stories!

Usually I reblog important posts, but WP is failing me at the moment so let’s settle for Press This. Meaning, press this: Honourary Dilettante Contest.
My favorite dilettante, Helena Hann-Basquiast, is holding a contest to promote her book, Memoirs of a Dilettante. Volume One. The prizes include kisses from Helena herself (well, I suppose, more like virtual kisses if you’re not already in kissing range) and T-SHIRTS with the coolest artwork you’ve ever seen. Well, you can see such artwork on her website and on her book, but with T-shirts, you can wear the artwork. So waste no time. Head over to Helena’s blog for details and join in the fun!

Round 3. Formidable poets, but you can only vote for one.

Here’s me as a model! (Don’t worry. I’ll keep my day job.) Love the T-shirt and being a winner :)
Readers, meet Marie Bailey, who won the recent Yesterday Road T-shirt giveaway. Marie was kind enough not only to don the shirt rather than slipping it into a local Goodwill bin, but also to provide this photo of her actually wearing it.
Drop by and read Marie’s engaging blog, 1WriteWay. She is always thoughtful and sincere as she describes her writing life, and she’s probably the most generous re-blogger out there.
Thanks, Marie!

A picture is worth a thousand words ….I managed to squeeze out 50,650 words, and actually put an ending to the novel. Nothing like having closure. But these last few thousand words were hard to write. I didn’t have writer’s block. Rather, I didn’t want the writing to end.
But all good things come to an end and now I must get off my numb butt and return to the life I left behind a month ago!

I can’t believe I’m making this much progress! I’ve never written a novel and I can’t say that this one is very coherent, but NaNoWriMo is truly serving its purpose with me. I’ve gained a lot of confidence in myself as a writer this month. More than I’ve ever had in my life.

I just uploaded my novel-in-progress to the National Novel Writing Month website (www.nanowrimo.org) and I have over 43,000 words! Only five more days to write and reach the 50,000 word mark. I’m pumped! And I’ve learned a lot.
This is my first time participating in NaNoWriMo. One thing I’ve learned is to write early and write often. I started off with over 2,000 words on Nov. 1 and then was stuck there for several days while on a business trip and then while recovering from that business trip. In hindsight, I should have skipped the social events and just gone to my room to write. Even though I’m now up to speed, I’ve had to sacrifice practically my whole Thanksgiving weekend to writing!
Well, I’ve learned and next year, I’m sure I’ll take my advice: Write Early and Write Often!
