Bolstering Your Enthusiasm

If you need a little help with enthusiasm, whether tackling daily blogging or starting your NaNoWriMo adventure, take some hints from the newest editor at The Blood-Red Penci blog. Here is a list of affirmations that can keep you inspired from day-to-day. You just need to stay optimistic - that's half the battle!

You might also want to check Craig Lancaster's three posts from last week. Craig is on a blog book tour for his new release, 600 Hours of Edward, which was his first NaNoWriMo attempt in last year's contest. It's quite a story.

National Novel Writing Month and More

The first month of our blog book tours class is always a blog-a-day challenge, and when your blogging starts to flag, a contest is often the way to get the juices flowing again. It doesn't have to be anything formal. I challenge you to blog daily during the month of November!

This month is also National Novel Writing Month, and so it's a good time to make a daily blogging commitment to prime the pump for your daily NaNo writing. Why not join me in a quick morning blog post before you start on that new novel? It's amazing how quickly a good habit is rejuvenated.

For those of you who want a little more support, we have a nice group of blog book tour alums gathering over at the BBT Cafe. Join us over there for discussions, brainstorming, promotion, or any of a number of group projects. You don't have to be a seasoned blog book tour vet to benefit from the camaraderie.
