CAMP NANO PROGRESS & HEARTIES RETREAT!

 

Hi everyone!

We are just past the half way mark through Camp Nano.   How are you doing? 

I'm off to a very slow start. I knew I would be. I'm just too much of a housewife. I can't let things go.

I have made strides in the story just not where I wanted to be. 

The first month of each quarter, Sarra Cannon and her Admin Team in our Hearties Facebook group put together a Virtual Writing Retreat. Each retreat is set in a virtual locale. The location for this month's retreat hasn't been announced yet and we are set to start on Friday. I have no clue what to 'pack' beyond my writing supplies. 

There are a lot of scheduled sprints over the course of the three-day weekend, allowing ample time to get some writing in.  You can join us either by being a part of the Heartbreathings Writing Community on Facebook or just following the sprints. You'll find a list of sprints on this month's Google Calendar on Sarra's website.  Go HERE then scroll down to see the Google Calendar. You can add this to your own Google calendar. 

Of course, this is Bob's last weekend home. I try not to work any more than necessary his first and last week home. Thankfully, he understands I need to write if I'm going to publish books and supplement his retirement. 

At least I have a writing space again.

While my space isn't perfect, I do have a table - if you count my sewing machine cabinet with the leaf open LOL. The important thing is I'm NOT at the dining room table anymore. Hopefully, by time for retreat I'll have my big work table cleared off and my comfy cushioned Captain's chair bar stool. Stay tuned for a picture of where my 'retreat' location will be. 

I'm hoping by next month to have this blog back on track adding back Spotlight Author. I just haven't had time to read. I do have a couple of things to share this week, though, so visit again.

All my best!

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT- Matthew McConaughey & The Art of Livin'

 Good morning, everyone!

I have been a fan of Matthew McConaughey for years. Phenomenal actor. He is also a best selling author with his book GREENLIGHTS.  Did you know he is an awesome motivational speaker?

I'll share a video with you in a moment, but first I want to tell you about a unique opportunity to hear him speak as well as other motivational speakers such as Tony Robbins. There's another guy I stand behind. I have his cassette series (yes, I've been following him THAT long LOL) PERSONAL POWER and still listen to it every couple of years or when I need to find direction. 

His book, GREENLIGHTS, has sold over three million copies! The book is amazing. Knowing his voice from movies and YouTube, I could 'hear' him as I read. 

On April 24th, Matthew McConaughey and special guests will be speaking LIVE on-line. If you'd like a seat for this amazing  (FREE)  virtual conference, Click the hyperlink to save your seat ---->  The Art of Livin'  (though there is a BONUS buy-in option)

Remember that video I promised? Here's a a tiny taste of what you can expect from The Art of Livin'.

I hope you'll join me for this incredibly motivating opportunity!

All my best!

 Good morning, friends!

Apologies for last week. Bob's first weekend home is always crazy so no prepping posts.

CAMP NANO PREP #3 - And An Apology

 Good morning, friends

First off, I got so caught up in prepping for the weekend Write-A-Thon I failed to post the information here. However, if you watched my Camp Nano Prep #2, you got the information anyway. I will try to do better about my postings.

This was the Camp Nano Prep #3 from last week where I talked about TOOLS. What are the things we need to have for camp. While I address the normal things you'd think about when sitting down to write, also consider things that are more personal to you. We are three days away from Camp Nano Kick-off! I will be doing a premiere on Friday, March 31st. Time yet to be determined but I'll let you know tomorrow when I post Camp Nano Prep #4.

Here's #3 in the video series:

All my best!
