So, what's an anxious author to do during the down time? I guess I should write. Ha, ha. To keep my fingers out of my mouth, I decided to keep them busy on the keyboard and take on my first ever NaNoWriMo to write the fourth book in the In the Reins book series. Then I got worried ... I started to wonder what will keep me moving forward when (not if) I get stuck trying to make the daily word count, so I decided to pull together quotes of inspiration on "why I write" to reflect on when I'm stopped. My hopes are reviewing these quotes will help me push through, and I hope this post help inspire fellow NaNoWriMo authors, too! Here are my nine quotes to inspire writing during NaNoWriMo ...
