My Plantober Guide for NaNo 2020

 Hey Peeps!

I'm super stressed, anxious, excited, and panicky about this upcoming NaNo. It took me a minute (about 1 month) to decide if I wanted to join in, and another hot second (2 weeks) to figure out what to write about. And I left that decision up to my Snippets & Spoilers subscribers. 

The verdict: Dagger & Shield

I won't go into too much detail about it, only that it covers the time of Amabel's disappearance right before the events of The Witch's Crystal.

Tools I'm using to stay organized:

My schedule:

  • 5-6am, writing The Witch's Crystal
  • 8-9pm, planning, info dumping 
  • 9-10pm, reading the latest & greatest

As I plan the draft for Dagger & Shield, I will also be participating in three October challenges, check them out on Instagram.

  • Fantasy Bookish Challenge
  • The Writer Community
  • Writers Favorite Prompts

What for are those words you speak?

NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writers Month (November)
Plantober - NaNo Prep Month October
Panster - flies by the seat of their pants & gets the story out (admire these people)
Planner - plans out practically every detail & knows what the f*ck is going on (kings & queens)
Planster - a little bit of panster & planner (me, totally lost most of the time)

Thanks for taking a look, until next time #staycrafty

Welcome!

What is this...? My online craft blog. Here is where you will find how I manage to be a full time working mom while making time for my family, one-acre homestead and hobbies. You can follow me on social media, Facebook, Instagram, and maybe sometime in the future Twitter (maybe). If you are someone that ditches the SM and unplugs every once-in-a-while, sign up for my bi-weekly (ish) email newsletter. You can click on the newsletter tab and read them that way, whatever works for you. How I "blog" I'm not all that into blogging, but I want to share what I'm currently working on, plus I'm terrified of making Youtube videos. So, I wracked my brains for weeks trying to come up with a way to keep my current website while sharing my personal favorites. I came up with this. You can still see my older posts below. I haven't decided if I'm keeping them there or reusing them in future newsletters.  Privacy Policy When you sign up for the newsletter, I DO NOT share yo

Happy Hump Day! If you're looking for a good old fashioned prophecy chosen one then you'll enjoy The Belgariad and The Mallorean . Each series follows Garion and each has 5 books. "Why are the people all so unhappy?" he asked Mister Wolf. "They have a stern and demanding God, "Wolf replied. "Which God is that?" Garion asked. "Money," Wolf said. "Money's a worse God than Torak himself." Belgarath to Garion The Belgariad, Book 1 Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings

This is a family favorite and can be easily tweaked to accommodate anyone's taste. We use this recipe for nachos, burritos, with eggs at breakfast the next day, etc. We use the small crockpot for home meals and a larger one for potlucks. Try it out and let me know how you changed it for your family. Until later, #StayCrafty!
