What am I reading?
Your Invisible Power, by Genevieve Behrend.

I was given this 80 page PDF after a discussion about the power of positive thinking. Usually the skeptic, I printed this out, and have to admit, I've spent all day highlighting!

Written in the 1920s, this woman provides a look into her own early journey of uncovering the Laws of Attraction. It's incredible to me that a woman journeyed to this place alone in order to find a higher meaning to her life.

If you're reading Dan Brown's books, you'll find Behrend's words the non-fiction version of what he's talking about...basically, how we can attract what we want, and that the ideas of God, Christ and the secret to man's happiness is easier to find than we might think.

What I'm writing:
Still working on NaNoWriMo - but not as far along as I wish. Barely breaking 5,000, I'm determined not to give up. Worst case scenario, it provided me a worthwhile subject for a future novel.

In other news:
Went to my writer's group the other night. Our first one since the main library in St. Petersburg re-opened. I have to say, it is beautiful. They did a wonderful job and I'm excited to go back soon.
We had guest speaker, celebrity ghostwriter, Bev Browning. I'd heard about her Shimmer workshops, and this was a short version of it, but well worth it. She was engaging, and I took away some great information about creating subtext in my work.
