Looking for some thoughts on a plot point on this year’s NaNoWriMo project. It involves romance, Christmas, and history (yay!). Interested in giving me a hand? Check out my latest post on instagram (HERE).

Below this, I have listed a few songs from my writing playlist for my current novel. Can you guess the plot? Or the genre?
- “Hey Jude” by The Beatles – This one was the inspiration for the whole thing!
- “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen
- “Go Now” by Adam Levine
- “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel
What do you think?
Sometimes I feel a little lost when it comes to my writing. I sit down and look at the blank page and nothing comes out. That’s when I put on music. I have a go-to list of songs that always, no matter what, puts me in the mood to write. Here are a few of them:
I’m in the midst of writing the climax of my current novella, and I have about a million ideas for what I want to write next. So here are a few. Which would you like to see first?
- Rockstar romance – A little diddy about a straight-laced girl who falls in love with a rockstar, after swearing she never would.
- The president’s daughter – I want to start a series about the daughters of a president. This one takes place between the president and her father’s adviser. I am planning on it being a Christmas romance. If I start now, it might be ready this Christmas.
- The prince and the commoner – With the royal wedding coming up, this one seems all the rage. And I’m excited for it all.
So what do you think?
I think most authors dream about what their books would look like as movies. I know I do. The biggest draw for me is the possibility of seeing these characters that I created and loved played by actors on the big screen. So I’ve been thinking, who would I like to see take on my work? I have a few ideas…
My blog has been nominated for the Liebster Award this year! Don’t know what that is? Check out the post I made on my other site here: https://elizabethdohertyauthor.wordpress.com/2017/12/19/ive-been-nominated-for-the-2017-liebster-award/
I’ve been burnt out with my writing ever since National Novel Writing Month finished. I think it’s a combination of real-life stress and the sheer amount of work I did (50,000 words is a lot!). It’s been a struggle, but this last week, I have been forcing myself to write. And I need to keep reminding myself why. So without further ado, here are my reasons why I should FINISH my NaNoWriMo project:
Okay, guys. I hate to admit it, but I am slacking. Usually, I am completely prepared for this. I plan character, outline, make a cover, play around on the website. Everything. This year, I have a vague plan, less than a notebook page. I just have been so tired and lazy. I haven’t wanted to do anything. But it’s time I got my butt in gear. So here is my #NaNoWriMo to-do list.
- My best friend was here.
- We ate Mexican takeout and watched Lord of the Rings.
- The first day back at work after a long weekend is BRUTAL.
- I had a headache.
- I got a six-paragraph long rejection letter.
Blergh.
I’m sorry for this cop-out. I will be back with your regularly scheduled blogging next week. In the meantime, how was your weekend?
Hello fellow bloggers!
After an unexpectedly long summer hiatus, I am back! And better than ever. Even dealing with a heat wave and no AC.
I’ll be back with real blogs next week, so what topics would you like to see?
And how was your summer?
