Pep Talk for November 5, 2016 – Saturday, Week 1

Hello, there!

Sorry, this is getting out late today. I’ve been very busy with NaNoWriMo things today. Which is grand – while not getting me home to write a pep talk.

To be on target to write 50,000 words this month, the word count goal for the end of Day 5 is 8335.

Your affirmations for today is:  Inspiration for my writing flows to me from everywhere!

This morning I hosted the first of the Write-Ins for which I am contact person. They take place at my local library – Saturday mornings from 10 AM to 12 noon, and Sunday afternoons from 2 – 4 PM.  It was a bit of a mess this morning. The library had a gala event last night. The room they had assigned me was still full of food and quite a wreck. Consequently, they put me in a different room. At 11:30 AM the people who usually have that second room from 11 AM – 1 PM arrived. Since no one else had shown up to the Write In except me, I was happy to move. However, I couldn’t carry all my things from the room. I expressed that and one of the ladies offered to help me. She carried my bags out of the room and onto a table in the main room. She asked if I needed any more help and I did not.

My husband picked me up at noon and drove me to the pharmacy for a quick errand and then to my Region’s Kick-Off Write-In/Snack-In at our County Library at 1 PM.  The Region does this every year and it is a BLAST. I love it. It was a wonderful afternoon. Large turn-out – I think there were 17 people there. I love the camaraderie. I typically type more words at home alone. However, there is something about being in a room with others embarked on the same journey that is quite awesome. The Event was a joy and a delight, and I had a wonderful time.

I got home an hour ago and have just been poking at my e-mail and Facebook. Then I looked at my Bullet Journal and realized that TODAY is a Pep Talk day!  EEEP! So here I am.

I hope everyone who wants to read these Pep Talks finds them on the forum.

I am quite happy about my word count. I have passed 11K and I haven’t recorded any words for today.

I hope you are making your goals. If there is something preventing you from reaching your goals, and you’d like to talk about possible solutions, feel free to post here or send me a NaNoMail.

Write well, write bunches, write with joy!!

Bright the Day!  Cedar
