Sir Emeth Mimetes would like all Nano contestants to please consider writing an encouraging Nano related topic for the Holy World's Blog. Please consider this as we feel it would be a worthy contribution to our blog, and an appropriate one at this time.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Mark, 115,600 words (Preparing for Publication)
The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

I've been in a study skills class for a few semesters and I've learned a lot about how your learning environment effects how much information you absorb. I just finished outlining a thesis-style paper applying that information to writing. It's not exclusive to NaNoers (anyone could use the information), but has certainly helped me this month ;). My thesis is "you will write better when you write in your ideal environment". Does that sound like something you would be interested in for the blog?

I think that would be a great addition Evening! Please write it up and submit it. Once it is critiqued we can place it in line for the blog. However, I think Sir Emeth would also like one specific to Nano.

I am working on a writing theory article that is NaNo specific. It is entitled "Five Utterly Ridiculous Ways to Raise Your NaNo Word Count," and the title says it all. I give five detailed, original ideas to "fluff" your word count - but I also suggest why these ideas might be functional literary tactics for serious writing. Does that sound like something that would fit Jay's desire?

So long as it is encouraging and it is about Nano I think he would be pleased. Write the article and then post it under submissions for everyone else to critique. Thank you Phili.

Thank you both for having the initiative and desire to further HW.

We look forward to reviewing both your works.

So, we have a legitimate excuse to not write our novel? I'll start working on it right away.

uh oh.

This is kind of short notice for all editors out there, but I'd be willing to just write a summary/congratulations for winners/encouragement for non-winners blog post for December 1st if you'd like. I'm already writing it for another forum anyway. :)

Nolan- And though I don't understand why this happened, I know that I will when I look back someday, and see how you've brought beauty from ashes, and made me as gold purified through the flames.

Azriel- And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart? You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul, so don't come back to me. Don't come back at all...

I think that would be fine, so long as you went through submission for edits before getting clearance. Philli posted hers a little while ago, as did I mine. Varon is finishing his piece so it can be put on the blog; I know Evening is working on one too. Last I saw was her bullet points, so hers may be a little later on the schedule. So I think you could post one tomorrow, so long as we can get it edited (if needed) before posting.

Um... :blush:

I won't be able to get you that article before December 1st, unfortunately. My life was eaten by a certain month-long program of literary abandon, and I did not have/make the time to write up that article. However, I still intend to write the one about writing environments, I just need to get past NaNo and Blinking Cursor Syndrome. ;)

Understood. Nano has a deadline. The blog does not. :D

Nano is now over, and I will be archiving this.
