I Need Your Help, Dear Readers (It'll Take 5 Seconds)

As some of you may know, November is National Novel Writing Month. I vowed to write 50,000 words toward a novel. This is my second time participating. 

Unfortunately I am less prepared than I was in 2015. So this newest novel will be harder to write.

But it's not just the NaNoWriMo work I'm worried about: another writing project is keeping me busy and taking precious time I could spend on writing for my NaNoWriMo novel (or maybe it's the other way around? Not sure.).
 
And while I won't be updating my Author Notebook as much (at least through December), here's something I think you'll appreciate: you can give me your opinion on which day of the week I should update my Author Notebook. 

Are weekend days better than the weekdays for finding a new blog post? Are weekdays better for you, and which one?

I want to know what the majority of my readers think before I commit to a schedule. I want to be consistent but I can't do it without your help. Please let me know what schedule you prefer by using the poll I placed on the right-side sidebar, under my profile. 

It takes only 5-10 seconds to decide and vote for your preference. The poll will stick around until the end of November.

If you have other suggestions, like what time of day I should update my Author Notebook (like if you read it in the morning or look forward to it at night), you may add those in the comments.

I appreciate your help, guys. I know I won't be able to please everyone, but I'll do my best. ;)

Why "Lighter Prompts"?

As you may know, the full title of my book is titled Easy Journal Writing: Jump-start Your Journaling Routine with Expert Tips and Light Prompts.

What are 'light prompts,' you might wonder?

I wanted to include “light prompts” in the subtitle for Easy Journal Writing because right from the get-go it tells people these journal prompts are no-pressure. Everyone likes to save time, do things faster and easier, and be successful doing it. I know Easy Journal Writing is not the only journal writing book out there. But it’s one that can aid readers in starting a journal routine.

‘Light’ doesn’t mean heavy or profound. So I'm suggesting you take baby steps toward completing a big task (like filling pages in a notebook).

I think collecting light prompts inspired by my journaling experience—rather than journal prompts that are recycled, too deep and cause reluctance—was a great idea. And that’s why I wanted to say “Light Prompts” instead of just “Prompts.”

Use them to ease into your journaling routine so that you can continue to keep journal writing as part of a regular schedule, or at least a few times a week. When you set aside more time to write in your journal, you’ll know you’re on your way to success. You’ll have the freedom to write as little as you want or as much as you want!

And Easy Journal Writing will help you do that.
