1 day, 11 hours left!!

Only 1 day and 11 hours before the madness begins. I've added a word count ticker on the sidebar so you can see my progress. I'm pretty pumped about the whole thing and eager to get started. I'm trying not to think too much about my plot because I want to be free to go where the character/story takes me.

I have a general idea of the beginning, a couple of ideas of how it might end up and a title: Singularity. I've also done a little character sketching (I guess that's what you call it) and have determined my main character's physical characteristics and personality.

Access to Healing

Jesus said "He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do
also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My
Father." (John 14:12)

This has had a resounding effect on me during the past year. I have
long asked God to move through me in power. Paul declared that the
"kingdom of God is not in word, but in power" (1 Cor. 4:20). God has
been doing some incredible things lately. I've personally ministered
healing to numerous people for things like kidney stones, back aches,
eye problems and shoulder pains. It has been incredible to watch and
be a part of. Usually there is instant relief from the problem.

All this to say, I wanted to just take a moment here and ask whoever
is reading this blog: Do you need prayer? Is there something you need
healing for? Jesus said to "Ask, and it will be given to you" (Matt.
7:7)

Leave me a comment and I'll be glad to pray for you.

I'd also recommend the book "When Heaven Invades Earth" by Bill Johnson.

Grace.

Officially a NaNo

I am now a proud member of the NaNoWriMo community. Check out the nice participant icon on the sidebar and click through to my NaNo profile. You can check my progress there.

This is going to be insane. 50,000 words in 30 days. That's 1667 words per day. That's me typing 40 words per minute, non-stop for almost 42 minutes straight....each day....for 30 days. Now, I know that I'll have "good" days and "bad" days, but still...on the average this is what I'm looking at. It's also about 2 and 1/2 pages in a 12-point, single spaced Word document....per day. :)

Why am I doing this again? And will my family remember who I am in December? Better question...will they forgive me? Come Thanksgiving, I'll probably have a turkey leg in one hand and pencil in the other.

I took a typing test and my speed varied from 68 to 82 wpm. So, maybe it won't be quite so bad...as long as I can think of a plot that quickly.
