writing/podcasting a novel in 30 days 2021 November 10

Welcome friend to Create Art Podcast where I help you tame your inner critic and create more than we consume. I am Timothy Kimo Brien your thankful head instigator with over 20 years in arts and education. How I accomplish this is by providing you with commentary, interviews, discussions, and projects that will inspire you to create art. This month I will be podcasting daily and writing a novel in 30 days. I am participating in NaPodPoMo and NaNoWriMo again this year as I did last year and you can hear those episodes here. You will be able to listen and read along to what I wrote for the day. I like to practice what I preach when it comes to art so I am challenging myself to write and having you come along for the ride. It is my hope this inspires you to accomplish your goals with your art and if you would like to share what you are doing email me at timothy@createartpodcast.com

NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month began in 1999 as a daunting but straightforward challenge: to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days. Now, each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with 50,000 words of a brand new novel. They enter the month as elementary school teachers, mechanics, or stay-at-home parents. They leave novelists.

NaPodPoMo: NaPodPoMo* is a month-long event along the same vein as National Novel Writing Month aka NaNoWriMo. The difference? Well, instead of writing a 50,000-word novel, you podcast every day for 30 days from November 1st-30th. Use any platform you desire. From full production studio to iPhone app and just about anything in between. The goal is to use the challenge of podcasting daily as a form of podcasting boot camp.

“I totally understand. I’d want to talk with Carmine if this was happening to us,” replied Nate. “You are doing a good job and it looks like you are holding up pretty well under the pressure. We are working as quickly as possible but also as carefully as possible to get everything done so you three can move on with your lives.” 

“I’m trying to figure out what I did in the past that has cause karma to kick me in the gut like this,” said Carl.  

“Life is just like this, well not exactly like this but you get what I am saying. Do you want to just quickly go over the paperwork we have, or would you rather wait until later to look it over and have me explain it to you,” asked Nate? 

“I think I just want to hang out with the kids and call it a day. I know that we haven’t done any heavy lifting yet, but I have an hour drive ahead of me and then I need to make dinner and I don’t want Myra to develop my bad habits of not taking the best care of herself by pushing until exhaustion. I’m sorry I don’t mean to sound like a wus,” replied Carl.  

“Nope, you are thinking like a father now and you have added responsibility. I think I’d be more worries about you if you wanted to push through, plus I’d never hear the end of it from Carmine that I locked you up in my office while we had kids out there that need us. Let's just put this on hold until we hear back from Vince and Angela and go from there,” said Nate. 

Carl helped Nate organize the paperwork on his desk and when they finished both men left the office and headed towards the craft room. When they got there Myra ran up to Nate and gave him a big hug.
