Happy November!

Ahh, now the snow can come freely; it will be more seasonable now than if it comes in October.   It is a month where on the last Thursday, Americans celebrate their freedoms and their blessings.  Some gather with friends and family for a scrumptious feast.

For others, November marks the start of a flurry of holiday shopping, baking, and parties.  Or the approach of the end of the term or semester at school.

For Ms. Stanton this November, it marks the glorious time of our two households merging together, and we’re loving the changes already.  🙂

It also marks a very creative and exciting time in this writer’s life, as she is getting the Sunshine Factor ready to join another website.  It’s exciting because I will be offering my readers many new features in addition to the ones you’ve come to know and love.   What’s also exciting is the possibility of this new website being a clearinghouse for great ideas and letting our community contribute – male and female, children, teens and adults – contribute their drawings or poems or stories or recipes or ideas…  The deadline for the January issue is December 10, 2013.  More details coming soon!

Here’s to another awesome month…take good care.

A Change of Heart

It dawned on me this morning that I can’t possibly participate in NaNoWriMo this year.  I have three big projects going on besides my job, and I wouldn’t be able to give it my full TLC that it deserves.  So — till next year, folks!  Best wishes to those people that are going to write one novel in the month of November.  I’m rooting for you!  🙂

NaNoWriMo 2013!

True, it is not quite September, yet I am already talking about something coming up in November.  But, NaNoWriMo  (National Novel Writing Month) 2013 is coming sooner than we think, and I wanted to give us time to start thinking about it.  This year I participated in NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) in April, and you saw my results on this blog.

A few weeks back, I thought about writing a fictionalized version of my forefathers’ history.  After some wise counsel from my mentor, I’ve decided to write that during NaNoWriMo this year.   Hmmm….maybe it’s not a coincidence that I thought of the story idea a little while ago, then came a vehicle for it.  I’ve posted a milestone widget in my sidebar regarding NaNoWriMo, and I’ve also created a page for it.

If you want to elaborate on one or more of the answers above, please email me at debbstanton@yahoo.com, using “NaNoWriMo 2013” in the Subject line.  I will be most delighted and appreciative of your support!

Thank you,

Debb
