I’m looking forward to meeting with my book group this afternoon. Our November book is JUST TAKE MY HEART by Mary Higgins Clark.

Q4U: What are you currently reading?
PS. Don’t forget to post at our November Free Books! We’ll be drawing for the give-away on November 30.
Sending out congratulations to Diane Palko Lawriw our September book winner!

I will send the books your way, asap! Happy Reading, Diane! Sue
This month our free book is an inspirational romance by award winning novelist, Karen Witemeyer. Set in the old west, STEALING THE PREACHER is a delightful romp. From the back cover: “Crockett Archer can’t believe it when he’s forced off a train by an outlaw and presented to the man’s daughter as the preacher…

This summer it was my privilege to sit in on one day of a week-long writers’ workshop run by award-winning author Joseph D. Haske! It’s so seldom that I have the opportunity to talk with other writers, and I loved this short get-away-time in the midst of what was for me a very busy and…
My reading group chose the historical novel PRAYERS FOR SALE by Sandra Dallas as our October book. Great choice!

BUSY! That’s an understatement, Lynn. I don’t know how you managed to write 50,000 words in 30 days! Yikes! Thank you for your explanations of NaNoWriMo and PiBoIdMo. Up until a couple of months ago, I’d never heard of either. Amazing how much more connected everyone is now that we have the various social medias.
Hi Sue,
I’m sorry I missed your reply till now. I was very busy in November – may I use that as my excuse? 🙂
In answer to your questions:
For NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), writing 50K words in 30 days was quite a challenge, but I did it! It was my first attempt and I was a little concerned near the end that I wasn’t going to make it. Even though I wrote the required number of words (plus 265 more) my story isn’t completed, so I will have to work on that more later. I left off with three conflicts to be resolved.
PiBoIdMo stands for Picture Book Ideas Month. For the month of November participants write an idea a day – could be a title, or a story theme, or the name of a character or whatever would work in a picture book. I finished with 44 ideas.
The next thing is to finish my ‘novel’, and pull together one or two picture books. 🙂
Hello Itzel, Yes I read your email. I don’t think I have any more copies in Spanish, but I’ll look through my archives to be sure. Thank you for writing. God bless you, Sue
Hi, i’m writing from Mexico, i sent you an email, please, please read it, i will thank you a lot.
xoxo
How is the NaNoWriMo going for you? Writing a book in a month seems like an impossible task! I’ve not heard of PiBoIdMo. What does that stand for?
I love the devotional, My Utmost for His Highest. I read it again and again. My devotional now is a Fisherman Study, “Who is The Holy Spirit?” I’m learning a lot!
Hi Sue,
I’m still making my way through the Bible again, now in the Psalms. I’m also reading two other books of daily readings, one is the devotional My Utmost for His Highest – selections for every day – Oswald Chambers, the other is Moments of Peace in the Presence of God – reflections on God’s Gift of Love, Hope and Happiness.
I’m really not reading as much as I would like to this month because of participating in NaNoWriMo and also PiBoIdMo, but, I have some wonderful books to get lost in when I can get back at it. 🙂
