Writing Tip #1 - Get Informed. Or get Experienced.

Hey everyone! I'm a NaNoWriMo Participant?

Yeahhh. Today's goal was 18,333 so i was planning on writing all day long. Because It's sunday guys. You don't leave your house on a sunday, It's not normal. But again, us writers are defined by many words: creative, distracted, loner, nuts... but normal? nope.

I went to a party yesterday, and got there late because I decided to stop at a Café and write until my laptop had no batery. I left my main character in a underground room, learning how to handle a gun, because she's a badass and that's what badasses do. She had to learn many names of guns and their parts.

Guess what? I don't know a thing about guns. 

So, the tip is: Get properly informed. 

If your character is in a car race, learn all about races. Learn the parts of the car and how do a race car looks. because, you can't say your character opened the door of the car. Race cars don't have any! Or, if you have a super smart character (Smarter than yourself) then hang out with a friend that says smart things of have him explain about certain topics.

Because if you don't, you'll find yourself watching YouTube tutorials at the middle of the night, just like me. But still, there are some things you can't make up. I need a real feeling in this part of my manuscript, it's kinda like an important moment.

So, tomorrow I will learn how to shoot. Me. I will shoot a real gun with real bullets.

Because writing is not just sitting and typing. Is an adventure. 

Live your manuscripts guys. At least, that's what I do.

NaNoWriMo - Day 11

Hey everyone, I hope you're well. You know, I was supposed to post every five day but yesterday I was kinda busy so I couldn't. 

Today i woke up and my brother came to my room, he told me his friend gave him a puppy and we had to go get it. My mom hates puppies and we all know it, so the plan was lying to her, pretend to go to the market to get bubble gum and get back home with this one month old Husky. 

But she realized we were lying, she made us tell the truth, she panicked. She got mad, but she allowed us to go anyway. 

My fam told me I should name her because I was a writer and I'm good with names. I wanted to name her Pandora, Venus or Hera. Then I thought of Asia or Africa, I also thought of River, Rain or Winter.

After all, I named her Luna, after J.K. Rowling's Luna Lovegood. And I think her name is perfect.

So Luna is part of the family now. 

Wait! Wasn't this post about NaNoWriMo? Sorry guys, I just like writing, about anything. Today I had a busy day with Luna, and my mom made us watch old movies. We're watching Armagedon right now, it's awesome. I guess I´ll have to write later. 

But the point is, to never stop writing any day. 

Wish me luck!

Writing buddies? Anyone?

Hey everyone! this is my very first year in NaNo and I only have two writing buddies. Yeah, my life is sad. I would like to meet more writers, read a synopsis or two. Make friends.

I know I'm not good at that, but this is me being friendly,

So here is my Author info and synopsis. Yeah, It´s also in spanish because I´m from Guatemala (remember that movie, 2012? The one where the world ended and Mayans said it? Yeah I live there.) If something's wrong with spelling let me know.

See ya.

NaNoWriMo - Day 5

10,000 words is my goal today guys.

I am so glad for this NaNo thing. It's the best thing for a writer. Because as writers we make no pressure on us, (at least not me) and we never get to finish a novel (again, me!) I feel that his month I will.

I WILL win this thing.

And you know what? This is the best contest ever, because the ones who win aren't the ones with the best story, but the ones that reach the goal.

50,000 Words! Let's go!

NaNoWriMo - Day 1

Its timeeeeee!

Today It's my first day in NaNoWriMo, I waited in my laptop until was 12:01 AM and I started it. It just went on and I already have my first 1600 words! Serously, this is the best thing It could happen to me in the year! I just had a lame halloween and my best friend told me we were done with the "friends" stuff and to go our own ways so, ouch.

But the Writing has done good to me, Wish me luck!
