WRITING/PODCASTING A NOVEL IN 30 DAYS NOV 2

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.

Myra was the first to finish getting dressed, she wore the new clothes that Nate had brought over. A simple t-shirt and blue jeans with a few barrettes holding back her sandy brown hair. Carl was just putting the last dishes in the drying rack when he turned around noticing Myra.  

“That looks really good, how do the clothes fit,” asked Carl? 

“They are a little loose but that’s fine, I’ll grow into them, I am sure. Do you need any help with the dishes, I should have asked before I got ready,” replied Myra? 

“Just putting the last few in the drying rack. We can talk later about chores around the house later. Are you nervous about visiting my brother and his family,” asked Carl? 

“A little, everyone is so new to me and I’m not sure if I should say this,” replied Myra? 

“No go ahead, you have had a hard couple of days getting used to things and you are doing great. What did you want to say,” asked Carl? 

“Well, I thought I would miss my dad, but yesterday, for some reason, I stopped thinking about him and this felt like home to me. So, when we were talking about visiting your brother, I felt like I had done that already, but that’s impossible right,” asked Myra.  

“What do you remember from yesterday exactly,” asked Carl? 

“Well, I remember the cheese omelets, those were great, and I remember going to the store with Cheryl and picking up groceries and stuff. Did we eat pizza yesterday,” asked Myra? 

“Yeah, we had pizza and you had an episode, or what I call an episode. You went to the bathroom, and I had the manager help get...
