There is beauty all around, throughout the world, and all around us we see people ignoring that beauty and looking elsewhere the as if what we’ve been given is not enough.
I decided to participate in NaNoWriMo 2012 at the last possible minute on October 31. I wasn’t sure I could make it through but with my usual refusal to fail I forced myself to write the words.
November! Writing season! I write every day, of course, but November is reserved for novel writing. Though I skipped two years of NaNoWriMo novel writing, this year I’m heading straight on in a dead heat to write the novel I’ve been planning since 2004.
People take long thru-hikes to prove their determination and perseverance to themselves, despite blisters, sore muscles, and starvation.
I’ve been thinking, writing, loving wilderness backpacking for many years – but sadly, not doing it.
About Me
I'm Linda Jo Martin, a novelist and content writer living in the Klamath River Valley, a remote, wild, and rocky place in far-northern California. I actually live on an old tailing pile near a gold mine! I'm surrounded by a beautiful forest and it has inspired me to write.
