I have to admit – I didn’t quite get to 30 published posts in 30 days. I do have several in my drafts folder that will be published, but past the November 30th deadline. Faithful readers, don’t worry, just because November is over, doesn’t mean I will stop writing.

I was trying to formulate the thoughts about what I wanted this last day of the NaBloPoMo to be about.

How does one start to write about thoughts in their head? It is a crazy process that sometimes starts off in the middle of the night and actually wakes you up and if you don’t get up to write about it, you will forget your thoughts (that has happened). You start to listen to people’s conversations in a different way, or listen to the radio and pick up on something that someone has said that sparks a thought in your head.

One day I sat down to write and had the thought in my head. When I sat down at the keyboard and the post was finished, it was actually about a completely different thought that my subconscious had more control over my hands then I did. It was a great post, but the original story was never told.

I can say that this experience has made me want to write more. My mother keeps telling me I need to write a book. But what would it be about? I read so many novels and get so swept up in them, could I write the next great Canadian novel? How would I start? I wonder how Margaret Attwod, Danielle Steele, Emily Giffen, Lauren Weisberger or any of the number of women novel writers I read sat down to write their first words, sentences, paragraphs?

Maybe my lead character will be a travel agent who has been in the business of making people’s dreams come true for over 20 years and wants to know is there more out there? Maybe she needs to meet her Mr. Right and let him tell her all the amazing things about herself that she already knows and how to make her dreams a reality? Maybe she figures out that living life on the side lines vs. playing the game really isn’t the way to live.

I hope you will continue to check back on this blog and see what other stories I have to share with you. I have enjoyed writing and I hope you have enjoyed reading!
