Greetings!
Just a short one today sorry...
For those of you who don't know NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and the aim is for both amateur and professional authors to write a novel in a month (fairly self explanatory right?) It's a legit thing with a website and sponsors and an organisation which works to provide everything they possibly can to make your writing process easy. Each region has a representative who organises writing meet ups etc. and provides extra motivation. Basically it's the best possible month long writing event!
Anyway this is probably my fifth year now of wanting to participate (but every year previous has been too busy with school exams) and I'm finally doing it!
Although when I say finally doing it I haven't even started yet and I am five days in! It's been a struggle finding a premise I want to run with. All previous writing attempts start great but fizzle out a couple thousand words in. The longest book I've ever written was about 40,000 words if I remember correctly, but not even halfway done.
I'll keep you updated (i.e. let you know if I even start! which I hopefully will!) but I just thought this post might inspire some of you who need that extra nudge to start your bestseller!
Is anyone already participating or has previously participated? Let me know in the comments!

October Playlist
*Usual can't believe how fast the month has gone. OMG it's almost Christmas. Yay for Christmas but wow where has the year gone*
Let's get into the music.
Ok so its been a while since I last wrote one of these which means there's a lot of great music I haven't had a chance to die over! So briefly I'll let you know what I've been loving the most over the past few months.
Firstly Halsey! This girl is just my ultimate goals! Can I be her/ her bff? Also can I have her voice? And her eyebrows!!
Also I've been listening to the Harry Potter soundtracks whilst I've been studying and it's been great! I love classical music for studying to but sometimes it gets a bit boring so somebody suggested movie scores. And of course I chose HP!! Also I can pretend to be Hermione and really get into my study :P
Ok so onto music for the past month:
Hello - Adele (obvs... Queen!! Can't wait for the album!)
On My Mind - Ellie Goulding (also Queen! also can't wait for the album!!)
Something In The Way You Move - Ellie Goulding (I wasn't sure if I should include all of her new singles but I couldn't pick my favourite!)
Lost And Found - Ellie Goulding
Army - Ellie Goulding (ok so this is my favourite but I still love the others too!)
Alive - Sia
Me & My Girls - Selena Gomez (I love her new album, I sort of didn't want to but it's really really good! I limited myself to top three for this list though)
Hands To Myself - Selena Gomez
Kill Em With Kindness - Selena Gomez
Hide Away - Daya
Love Me - The 1975 (This sounds so.... retro? I guess? I dunno. Its quite different but I love it! haha see what I did there?)
How I Want Ya - Hudson Thames, Hailee Steinfeld
As always; follow me on spotify (https://open.spotify.com/user/morganc08) and I'll catch ya next post!
