At it again with my #nanoprep, and I feel like I've prepared enough to be confident this November. Never been able to fully compete because of school, and after waiting for so long, I'm finally able to participate without fear of breaking for finals. The only real things I've got to finish is writing up a synopsis and officially announce my novel to the world. Plus, preparing videos and posts to the blog! Who else is participating this year, and is real ready to win? - - - - - - - - - - - - #nanowrimo2017 #nanowrimo #amwriting #amwritingfiction #amwritingfantasy #writersofinstagram #fictionwritersofig #writingcommunity #writingcommunityofig #writer #fictionwriter #fantasy #books #stories #storytelling #novels #novelwriting #authorlife #author #amediting☕ #writing

Okay, here's a picture of my #nanoprep. Returning to my map to finish it and then incorporating a new perspective into the plot. I planned to kill someone off from the beginning of the novel, but realized that character was more important to the overall story that he had to stay and contribute. Once I figure out his journey, I'll be ready for November! 😊 How's everyone's prep coming along? Are you nervous, excited, or both? - - - - - - - - - - - #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2017 #writingfantasy #writingprompt #writingprocess #fantasyfiction #fantasy #fantasywriter #amediting #amwriting #fictionwriter #fictionwritersofig #writersofinstagram #writer #novelwriting #novel #authorlife #author #maps #fantasymanuscript #fantasymaps #books #stories #storytelling

My Saturday has been filled with stuffy noses, grading assignments, watching all things TV, and being stared down by a cuddle addict. She's been contemplating how to get near me without me noticing. I think she's been doing a superb job, dontcha think? - - - Maybe I'll get a few writing things done tonight... Maybe I'll just cuddle with this cutie queen. - - - - - - - - #catsofinstagram #cats #wannawrite #needtowrite #toosick #writerlife #cute #cuddle #cuddleaddict #lovebug #fictionwriter #fantasywriter #writersofinstagram

The book I'm reading while I recover from this severe cold that came out of nowhere. Self care is important, you guys. If your body is telling you to rest, do it. Your words can wait, and you're body will come to thank you. Plus, with rest comes more energy to write and a new flow of creativity. ❤ - - - - - - - - #amreading #reading #bookstagram #psychologicalthriller #dontcloseyoureyes #hollyseddon #writer #writersofinstagram #selfcare #health #writingfantasy #writingprocess #fictionwriter #fictionwritersofig #fiction #writing #writingadvice #stories #thrillers #blog

Sorry for being so absent from Instagram. I hate to say, but I think Twitter is better. It's easier for me to keep up with, but since it's Autumn and I'm determined to market myself, I'm gonna put forth more effort. I'm just lazy when it comes to pictures, for some reason. I used to not be this way. I've grown attach to other things. I don't know why this picture came out all grimy but I like! 😍 - - - - - - - - - #writing #amwriting #amediting #blog #vlog #youtubevideocomingsoon #tumblr #writingprocess #writingfantasy #fantasy #fantasyfiction #fantasywriter #fiction #fictionwriter #books #stories #storytime #autumn #fall #writerlife #bookstagram #booky #spooky
