This morning I received an email from a client that I did a psychic consultation with last week. The email subject was “Day 7 Yes!” She had been journaling for many years and fell into a slump. I offered to be her Accountability Partner for a week to help her get started. She journaled and emailed me daily to share she was done. Now she is back in the habit and doing well on her own.
My book Live Intuitively: Journal the Wisdom of your Soul came after facilitating several groups teaching them to journal and to access their own intuition. For some, the journaling inspired creative writing. I often ask my clients, “Do you have a book in you.”
If you do have a book in you, most likely you have known this for a long time. One great way to become motivated to write your novel is the great program called National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo is every November.
On their website they describe the program as:
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing.
On November 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 PM on November 30.
Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought about writing a novel.
This program is free and you connect with others worldwide through videos, emails, and in person in your community to come together and write!
There are many tools to get you prepared in October, so if you are interested in joining with me this year in this amazing writing adventure, be sure to sign up soon!

Self-disclosure – In 2016 NaNoWriMo I created 50,000 words toward my novel “It Smells like Venice” and am completing the novel and rewriting scenes. Since I want to complete 50,000 words in 2018 I am going rogue and writing a memoir this November.
I created a poll on my Facebook page asking friends to choose between two time periods that they would be interested in reading about.
The two choices I have listed are:
- When I was a 14 year old Jesus Freak, hitchhiking downtown to Witness for Jesus and finding myself taking a ride at a bus stop with the wrong person, and ending up being taken elsewhere and being thrown from the truck which ended up in being in a coma for two weeks and having a near death experience.
- My experience working in a Federal prison during the War on Drugs, which was often a war on women of color down by the California border. The conspiracy law allowed the DEA to arrest those who were privy to other people’s drug use, manufacturing and sales. These women served 5 years in a Federal prison camp, away from their children.
Take a moment and go to my FB page and choose for yourself!
#NaNoWriMo is my accountability partner. Inviting others to support my topic choice on Facebook is motivating.
