Nanowrimo

Hellllooo|! I haven't written in this blog for so long!! I have other blogs, as well, but I haven't done much in any of them recently. My bad!

     So, I'm babysitting a lot, knitting, crocheting, reading, and writing every day, and these things keep me pretty busy. My big news is that I am officially signed up for Nanowrimo! Yes, I am actually participating in national novel writing month in November. I am so excited! This is my first time doing this competition, and I am so psyched! I don't know if I will be able to complete the 50 000 words challenge, but I'm going to do my best.

     I am outlining a new novel as we speak. It will be a love story, with a bit of drama and tear jerking scenes. I do my best writing when I have to write sad scenes! LOL.

  In other news, I am finally reading, "The Book Thief," and I am enjoying it immensely! I've seen both good and bad reviews of this book, so I decided to see for myself whether I would like it. I picked it up on KOBO for $10.99, and I am so glad I did. I read for four hours last night and two hours this morning. I LOVE THIS BOOK. It is an easy, but emotional read. I love that the narrator is Death. It is so unique and somehow magical. At certain points in the book, I actually feel bad for Death. I am on Part six, I believe, now. I want to finish it today, if I can. Do I really need to clean my apartment today? LOL.

     So, are you signed up for Nanowrimo? If now, do it nowI Sign up at: nanowrimo.org. It's free and super inspirational!

     What are you reading now?
 
       Oh! And I forgot to mention, I now have a Booktune channel and a knitting and crocheting podcast! I might be doing my booktubing as a part of the podcast, but for now, there are two channels. The booktube is at Cheryl-Lynette Gilmore and it is called "Read with a Gilmoregirl" and the podcast is under Cheryl Gilmore "Knit and Crochet with a Gilmoregirl." Check them out on YouTube! And don't forget to like and subscribe!

      Thanks for reading  me, and have a wonderful day!

Summer goals

I was just thinking about what I plan on doing this summer. The most important thing is STAY COOL. I hate being hot. I love the sun, but seriously? Does it have to get so stinking hot? I sweat . . . err, glisten . . . real easily, so I don't like being hot. I don't have air conditioning in my apartment, though I do have one fan that I am already using. Aw well. I guess I can't always have my way, eh? (I know, but I had to say it. I'm Canadian, eh?) Anyways, here's a few goals of mine this summer: (1) read more - - - I would like to read a lot more books. I have about 300 books on my Kobo, plus about 50 physical copies I haven't read, yet. Not to mention, all the books I want to reread. Whew! Yep, that's definitely a goal of mine. (2) write 20 000 words of "Hooked Forever" - - - I want to write this during the summer. I would love to write more than that, but, you know? (3) Babysit more - - - I love to look after children and I intend to...

                                  ME? A WRITER?      Hi! My name is Cheryl Gilmore, and I am a writer. Yes, I finally said it. I AM A WRITER. This one statement took me almost thirty three years to say out loud.      It happened, today. I was watching a YouTube video on writing and the guy said, "If you write, then you are a writer. Simple as that."      That got me. Yes, I write, and yes I want to be published someday, but am I, really, a writer?      I don't understand all the grammar rules and exceptions in writing, even though I got A's in my English courses. (I would usually study my butt off for a test, then completely forgot everything when it was over.) But, I do know, I love to write. (Okay, I know I'm repeating that word over and ...

Official Beta Reader/Thoughts of the Day

I am an official Beta Reader! Yaaaaayyyy! I am so excited to be reading a book from a UK writer that I met on Twitter. I must say, Twitter is wonderful. I don't know why I had never gone on it before yesterday. I now have 3 followers! (Hey, don't laugh!)      Anyways, I will also be an Alpha reader, which I think is the same thing as a Beta Reader, for a wonderful young lady I met here on  my blog. I have contacted other authors and hope to make this a part time job. Even if I don't get paid for it, this is a great opportunity to meet other writers, and give feedback on their books.      I just read a blog from Quills and Coffee, where she spoke of the need for clean books to read. I agree that this is important, especially for young adults, and new Christians. We should stand up for our rights to be able to read a good book, without having to challenge our thought life as a believer in Christ. Sin is sin, no matter how small, and rea...
