Use Your Words

That's it! National Novel Writing Month is over! Hopefully, you reached your goal for the month and wrote a 50k word novel. Now, set it aside, get some rest and forget about it for at least a month, before you start to revise.

So, it's the day after Thanksgiving and you should be at least three-quarters done with your NaNoWriMo novel.

I've got even more sci-fi short-film goodness for you this week.

Last week I shared a short sci-fi film, and I've got another one for you this week.

So, if you're participating in National Novel Writing Month, you might need a break.

If you're going to participate in National Novel Writing Month this year, you can officially start NOW!

Trying to get all your ideas and characters organized for National Novel Writing Month? I can help!

Next month is National Novel Writing Month. Are you ready?

I suppose a better first question is actually "Are you going to participate?" I, for example, am not. I tried it once, several years ago, but ever since then I've just been too busy, and too out of practice writing fiction, to try it again. But, I do think about it every year when it rolls around. This year, rather than post things like story starters during NaNoWriMo, I thought I'd post them before, giving the brave souls who are up for the attempt a running start. So, here we go!

At least once a year, I try to write about Friday the Thirteenth.

Mostly, because, while other people seem to find it unlucky, I don't. At least, I don't find it any less lucky than any other Friday on any other date. If anything, I find myself feeling luckier than normal when everyone else seems to be feeling less lucky, hence the title of this blog post.
Besides, when I get stuck for topics, as I sometimes do, this is an easy enough post to whip together again.

In this case, I'm talking about nebulae that you make yourself.
