NaNoWriMo
Friend Yvonne and I are joining NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year. You write a 50,000-word novel during the month of November, with NO editing. I’m thinking it will be fun to get some fast and furious writing done. The mind-set is “exuberant imperfection.” Here’s the link:
There’s also a book about it, No Plot, No Problem, by the founder, Chris Baty.
Anybody else up to the challenge?

Get Your Books Here!
Looking for a good book to read? May I suggest an online bookstore? My friend, Yvonne Weers, runs a successful online business called “TheBook-let.com.” Just click here:
Yvonne is a Nebraska writer who’s always an inspiration to me. Besides working on a Library Science degree, she’s also a computer wiz and designed TheBook-let.com web site. She regularly scours booksales to find the juiciest items. On the web site, she tells how TheBook-Let.com came to be:
“It all began quite innocently. My husband referred to it as an obsession. That’s probably not a good thing for a marriage, but it turned out to be a great thing for starting a business.
I went to my first book sale in 1992 and, needless to say, I was hooked! I quickly followed sales with auctions, and graduated to frequenting local used book stores.
Since then, I have collected thousands of titles and found that I was constantly in need of more shelf space. That’s when I decided to sell a few gently used books in exchange for new ones, and Voila! My obsession morphed into an online book business.
TheBook-Let.com was born on December 21, 2008, and I’ve never looked back. I hope you enjoy my selections as much as I’ve enjoyed hunting them down. Happy Hunting!”
Good going, Yvonne! I wish you much continued success.
