I bet you are wondering what happened to that novel of mine, right? Well, I pitched it to many agents at the San Francisco Writers Conference in 2005 and had all of them interested, however all of them turned it down. I even won the fiction pitch contest with my twenty five-word description of the book, and my prize lunch with two agents later landed me literary illustration - however not for my fiction! I was told by to go away my fiction writing behind and focus on what I do best -- non-fiction. (I took the agents' advice.)
That brings me to the purpose of this essay: For those folks who do not write fiction (ever or anymore...), what are we tend to supposed to try to to throughout the month of November? I say, "WE WRITE NON-FICTION!" I challenge you to join me in beginning and finishing a piece of non-fiction during the next 30 days. You'll be able to write a piece, a booklet, a newsletter, or a book. Just write something. No matter non-fiction writing project you've been procrastinating, get started now. No one can be looking over your shoulder. This is not a contest, and there is no prize at the top alternative than the great feeling you may get from knowing you wrote each day and completed your "assignment." No on is counting your words, nor does anyone care how several words you write (not even me). This is merely a challenge to jot down -- and to not write alone. I am going to be writing every day, too, and hopefully some other folks can be writing as well.
Plus, I invite everybody who is writing non-fiction during November and wants to share their experience to go to my new nonfiction writing blog (see link below) and post comments. I am going to be writing every few days regarding nonfiction writing in general - why I enjoy it, tips about obtaining revealed, how my writing goes, etc.
One of my initial blog entries explained how my foray into fiction writing during the 2005 NaNoWriMo event actually renewed my love of nonfiction writing. Whereas I loved the fun of writing fiction, that happened to be my childhood dream, obtaining far from nonfiction briefly gave me a new perspective on nonfiction and stroke a chord in my memory of what I relish about it therefore much.
I like nonfiction writing, because it allows me to explore subjects that are fascinating to me and to then share them with others. As a magazine journalist and as a book author who likes to wrestle with problems in my life or subjects that excite me, I buy to pay my days researching those very same problems and subjects, talking to experts regarding them, finding answers and solutions to them, and returning up with ideas and theories connected to them. Then, I buy to craft what I've learned into a story - a commentary, essay or book -- that provides what I've learned and discovered - and presumably even place to use successfully in my life - into a kind that others will read. This then hopefully helps or excites them. I realize this both stimulating and rewarding.
Nonfiction writing additionally proves helpful to several people for many reasons. If you would like to let folks understand regarding who you are and what you are doing, writing articles and books serves as a nice approach to promote yourself. And, once your articles appear in major magazines or trade journals or your book is selling at the rear of the area once you speak or on Amazon.com or in bookstores, you achieve knowledgeable status.
Therefore, November is here, and regardless of why you would like or want to put in writing nonfiction, it is time to begin writing. Don't worry regarding how good your writing is, simply write. That's the point of NaNoWriMo - to place your inner critic or inner editor in the closet whereas you write (or so you can write). Use the same principle for writing nonfiction in November. Don't worry regarding the standard of what you are writing currently; simply write and try to meet the goal of finishing what you start. Editing happens later - once you've finished writing. In memory of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind (and a few really nice fiction writing), imagine yourself as Scarlett O'Hara and assume concerning editing later. You'll do that in December. November is all about writing.
