NaNoWriMo Day 22 - Don't Survive, Thrive

Hey NaNos,

It's getting close to thanksgiving, and you want to get ahead…don't worry!

You're almost done, let's not give up in the last few days! So what if you are 10k words behind, you can still win!!!

Life isn't about writing 50,000 words, but maybe the next few days it's going to seem as if that is your life goal!

Go! Go write something! (then come back!)

*waits*

*yawn*

*hops in the T.A.R.D.I.S.*

*sips some kombucha*

*checks Twitter*

Okay! So you wrote a few words, great!

Now think of your favorite song, and go listen to it and write like crazy for the whole song! GO!!

Well done, now you can keep doing that till much too late at night, or you can go to bed and get up earlier and write in the peace of morning.

Now, this is merely surviving thus far. But I want you to THRIVE!

So, I want you to go somewhere that is very conducive to your creativity, grab a drink (water, tea, something that helps you, coffee), get your lap top, and start typing!

For me this is my couch corner, or laying on the couch with my feet propped up on the armrest. Just somewhere comfortable to you and either peaceful or with a hum of activity around you.

Now get writing, and for there first part it may take a few minutes, or even 45 minutes, but find your groove, and live it up! Writing is something that ought to be freeing to you. Some write because it makes them happy, some write because they want to tell something, and some write because they have to, whichever it is for you, write.

Love that you have the ability to write and enjoy that God has given you the blessings that He has. It is good to write, we ought to all write a book at some point in our lives. It will help us to be more creative and hopefully produce something profitable and grow us in the process.

Find your groove and enjoy carving it out, let its base be a simple design, and work in the beautiful details as you go, soon you will have a stunning work of art, if only you press on and don't give up or give in.

Romans 15:5-6

"May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ"
