Magical Word Fairy

Once upon a time, somewhere in the land of imagination, lived a word fairy who believed words were magical and that they created a world within paragraphs and pages which grew into beautiful books.

She liked to visit writers and sprinkle magical ideas and inspiration into their minds as they were writing, making the words sparkle and shimmer with light. 

She watched with happiness as the writer's imaginations came to life, playing and dancing and singing with the words on their pages.

 

You can sometimes hear her laughter and feel her joy when a writer opens up the magic inside them and sees their words come alive on the page, shimmering and sparkling with light.

Doing a D.O.R.G.

Okay. I admit it. I might be a little crazy. I mean, who writes a 50,000-word novel in a month? You'd have to be crazy to do that.

You'd have to be even crazier to write a 50,000-word novel in ONE DAY! Yet, some people do it. And I figure if they can do it, so can I... :)

It's called a D.O.R.G.—Day One Ridiculous Goal.

So now you know... I have a DORG. I'm crazy. I'm going to write my entire novel in 24 hours (or less). Gonna need a lot of coffee for this. Good thing I'm named after a coffee.

Update... November 2

Umm, let me tell you a story about my D.O.R.G. It turned into a D.O.R.K.—Day One Ridiculous Krazy (okay I know that's not how you spell crazy, but after you write 34,728 words in less than 24 hours, that's the way it's spelled... :) And I really should admit that my manuscript is a hot mess.

Note to Self: Don't do this again. Ever. Really. Never Again. At least not until next year... :)

Doing NaNo... Again!

Word-ideas are dancing in my head. A magical word fairy is whispering in my ear. Playing with images of the novel that is yet to be. Actually, I don't have a clue what I'm going to be writing about, but that's okay cause I'm a pantser... :)

 Last year I was on a novel quest. This year, I'm hanging out with the (sometimes invisible) magical word fairy who has some ideas about writing a novella. The time warp sequel is floating through my mind. But I'm also thinking about writing the prequel to the series.

Guess I'll just have to wait until November 1st and see what words appear on my computer screen and where they take me.
