#HFGather: A Monday Meditation for NaNoWriMo +

Nov 3, 2021 | HFGather, Novels

Laurie Calkhoven helped us kick off NaNoWriMo (or any creative project!) with a Monday Meditation #HFGather. She led a 10-minute meditation, followed that with a visualization, and then provided a writing prompt.

We’ve already heard from some attendees:
“That was great. I had a breakthrough on what to write for my next chapters in the mg novel. And I saw that maybe I wasn’t halfway through, but almost finished.”

“I discovered something that will really help me with a plotting snag. And will spend the rest of the morning looking at this new scene and where it will go in the story.”

If you missed the session, you can watch it here:
