To celebrate NaNoWriMo and those of you who are brave enough to participate, I have a surprise: an all-new writing tips video series starring me, my dog Oz, and Funko Pop! Buffy, Spike, and Willow. Every day in November, I will post a new video to my YouTube channel or my Instagram with everything from writing tips like How to Get Started, Beating Writer’s Block, What to Do When You Want to Quit, My Favorite Writing Tools, and much more.

Did I mention that my super cute dachshund, Oz, is in some of the videos? (Disclaimer: I don’t want to mislead you into thinking that Oz is dressed up or dancing. He’s actually sleeping in most of the videos, but you can see him, and he is adorable.)

If you’re participating in NaNoWriMo, I hope you’ll visit me here and on my social media channels so I can be your personal cheerleader. I’m also going to be hosting giveaways of some of my favorite writing craft books that are featured in my videos, by writers like James Scott Bell, K.M. Weiland, Larry Brooks, Les Edgerton, & Noah Lukeman, to name a few. And don’t forget to check out the NaNoWriMo website.

Is Doubt keeping you from getting started? Check out my NaNoWriMo Pep Talk here.

I’m still on the fence about whether or not I’m brave enough to join you, so feel free to leave comments of encouragement below.
