WRITING/PODCASTING A NOVEL IN 30 DAYS NOV 8

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.

“Okay well what is the cause of death then,” asked Nate? 

“Right now, its preliminary pending toxicology but the police are calling it a suicide. There was no pills found, there was no vomit just the usual things that happen when people die. The guy shit himself and pissed his pants,” replied Vince. 

“Well, isn’t that a little strange since he was thirty-four and outwardly seemed to be in good health,” replied Carl. 

“That’s why it is preliminary pending toxicology. They got a good guy working on it, they should have results soon, like say Monday or Tuesday morning,” replied Vince.  

“I know where you are headed Carl, you think it’s the book and we won’t know,” replied Nate. 

“Well, that would be an explanation. According to the rules of the diary, once you write the last entry and pass it off to someone else you basically die,” replied Carl annoyedly.  

“Yes, that would be an explanation, “Nate stressed the word an “but that would entail us buying into this diary being cursed. What else do you have for us Vince,” asked Nate? 

“So, the recently deceased pulled out money from an ATM at the gas station you stopped at earlier today. He pulled out enough money to cover the hotel room and nothing more. He has about three thousand dollars in that account right now with nothing pending clearing. He knew how much this hotel would cost which led me to look at the hotel chain in a one-hundred-mile radius from this hotel. He stayed at another hotel on a long-term basis, in fact he still has about three weeks left on that term. When we checked with that hotel, we found...
