What's up Wednesday: Nov Ed

Hello readers, 


WHAT I'M READING
I haven't read much or anything recently. 

WHAT I'M WRITING 
I have been writing, though, since it's NaNoWriMo. I'm at a grand total of 26k! I'm not close to 50k, but this is my personal best as I look back at my other attempts. 

WHAT INSPIRES ME RIGHT NOW
working on new projects, an upcoming camp and that the holidays are coming. Soon it'll be the new year! 

WHAT ELSE I'VE BEEN UP TO
This is exciting!!! My upcoming publication is my second one and the first that's going to be in paperback, woohoo!! I just need to edit and format it and wait for the cover designer to finish the cover. As you wait for the cover reveal and other fun stuff you can add to Goodreads - (link in book page)

You can get a peak of what it's going to be like here on my blog and in my first published book, A TO Z POETRY (link in book page)

Enjoy and thank you,

26K is amazing! Go you! I always hit a reading slump in November too. It's all right though. Lots of good stuff going on!

Have a great week!

Congratulations on your personal best of 26K. I didn't even attempt NaNo so your 26K sounds amazing! Congratulations on your upcoming publication, too!

Yay for a personal best! :) I can imagine that NaNoWriMo might be a little tough for a poet... Good on you for keeping at it!

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
