Or it’s a damn waste of time.
I’ve said it before, and it’s trite to not only say it again, but to say it now, but I am back.
Big things on the horizon – I can’t wait to share and most importantly get back to this community.
2017.

Coldness
Any other time of year-
I look outside for an escape, to escape.
Not today, the cold it seems has expanded from inside me to out.
Desolate, sad, and the anti-hope.
There is no relief.
I seek release.
Instead, I’ll run my pen over the paper yet another time.
Success Should Be Celebrated
Hello Everyone!!!
I just realized I failed you in the month of November as I went through my successful NaNoWriMo experience.
How did everyone else do? Any big takeaways? Anyone going to continue their story?
I am very pleased with my plot and I fully plan to review, edit and take it to completion.
Also here’s the third edition of our Authors & Beers- it’s a fun way to look at the end of NaNoWrimo.

I’ll be back later this week with some new poetry 📓📓📓
NaNoWriMo – End of Week 1 Updates
Hello Everyone!
Week 1 is quickly coming to a close, we should be at the 10K mark by the end of the day, I took yesterday off so I am playing a bit of catch up but I think I will make it.
How is everyone else doing?
Today I have also released the first in my series on Hard 12 Brews (CO beer Blog) of Authors and Beers. Click the link below to see what beer I am pairing up with Ernest Hemingway.

Happy Writing!
NaNoWriMo Begins – Happy Writing
Hello everyone!
Today is the big day – as you can see I got very specific on my plot layout. Well, at least I have an idea for my plot.
I prefer to do all of this on the fly and let the ideas roll, the story goes in all sorts of directions when I write like this. It’s all part of the adventure and I’ll keep everyone updated along the way.
It’s not too late for us to become writing buddies 😉
NaNoWriMo 2016
Hello Everyone!
NaNoWriMo is coming, can you believe it’s 7 days until go time?
I can’t believe it but I have started to tentatively lay out a storyline and/or plot, it depends on how you want to view it. No more than a page or two just to give me something to run with once the clock strikes midnight.
How many of you are participating this year?
This will be my 5th and I have won 3 out of the last 4 times.
This one will be a bit more difficult than the last few attempts. I will be updating this blog, traveling to California for a week and keeping my beer blog regularly updated.
Check the link below to see the fun things we will be doing with Authors and Beers for the month of November – I would appreciate the support there too (go ahead and give it a follow), you guys have been so great on this blog.
Beer and Writing | What To Look For In November
Want to write with me?
My NaNo name is Liah2131
Anyone doing something new and different this year to increase their chances of winning? I am always on the hunt for tips for success.
4 am
Early morning, late at night.
I heard someone talking about you again.
Unlike most he spoke in reverence of your peace, of your creative space.
Spoke out of love – no one else is around, up during your moment each day.
I haven’t visited in a while.
I have no excuses – only lies to me.
I need to stay up or get up.
4am the time for poetry, novels, stories and if I am lucky, the perfect sentence.
Fall into the flow
Only when I am trying to shut off my thoughts does my subconscious dance freely.
It’s a game we both play – a wicked dance.
When I need you or want you – you can’t help but saunter off into the corner.
Tucked away in comfort, drifting towards dreams you pull me out of bed.
A single scene, a glib piece of dialogue or a character that I know I’ve met but can’t place.
All entertainment, value and stories I need to hear but they don’t exist.
How can it be?
How can I put them down in words?
It will become an obsession –
It will eventually torment me –
Maybe that will be enough.
Avoid The Routine of Monday
Make it different.
Pardon My Absence
Hello All –
I am sorry I have been away for a little bit over a month. It has taken quite a bit of time to get my beer blog up and running. Not only that, but a scene for a new novel popped up one day on the drive to work and I have been fleshing out the story line every since.
I am back back now and I promise to get back to regular posts.
As always I appreciate your support!
Happy Writing!
