I'm currently in the midst of fixing up book 4 before sending it off to my editor in a couple of weeks. Let it be known that editing isn't my forte. The process is tedious and I hate the minutiae of it all, which is why I'm so thankful for my editor (and I highly recommend that all writers hire a professional editor  if they intend to self-publish.) Today I'm escaping from my editing prison and sharing my 5 favorite books on writing and creativity . This selection won't help you with all the technical aspects of writing a good novel. Instead, this list will nurture your creative soul with inspiration and wisdom.  (Personally, while I struggle with the act of writing, I struggle even more with getting into the mindset of being creative. If you're like me, hopefully, these books will give you a loving mental hug and push you in the right direction too!) 5 Best Books on Writing and Creativity

Well, do I? Surprise!  If you came to this blog post looking for an answer to this particular question.... then you came to the wrong place.  Sorry!  This is just a question that's been plaguing me for awhile and I thought it would be a fun way to title the blog post. Currently, I'm in the middle of writing the first draft for my second novel.  It's uber tedious and wonderfully fulfilling all at the same time.  I'm getting better at riding the twists and turns of the creative process, but questions like this always creep in... Am I good enough? Do I know enough about the English language to convey what I truly want to convey?

Hello friends! What are you  up to this summer?   Currently, I'm in the midst of writing.  To keep myself motivated, I signed up for  CampNanoWriMo   (Camp National Novel Writing Month .) It's basically an online "camp" brought to you by the same organization that does National Novel Writing Month .  If you're a writer definitely check out both sites.  For this online writing camp, a ton of writers signed up to write 50,000 words by the end of July. 50,000 freaking words. I know. I KNOW! It's a HUGE undertaking, that's for sure.  And I'm 99.9% sure that I won't reach the goal. But I figure it's better to try and fail then not sign up and not write anything, right? It's just like one of my favorite quotes: 50,000 = My moon 10,000 = Pretty Sparkly Stars Plus, while I'd love to say that I'm wholeheartedly dedicated to the craft of writing and ... yada yada yada. *Insert lots of flowery prose about ...
