Reiki and NaNoWriMo
We’re nearing the first part of November where thousands of people join in what is affectionately known as NaNo-National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/). During the month of November, those of us of the kind of crazy persuasion, decide to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It breaks down to 1667 words a day, and really for those of us who already write that’s not such a bad number. It just means applying fanny to computer chair and fingers to keyboard.However, as a two time participant (this year will be my third) and two time winner, I’ve found that reiki helps me with NaNo. By plugging into the energy, I find I can open my muse and my inspiration. I also use it to help relax me and I know I’m hitting a really good passage because the energy just clicks on like a light bulb.
Candles. Chanting. Prayers. Bribes. They all work well too for those looking to win Nano (If I write 100 more words I can get up and get some coffee/chocolate/aspirin/whatever we need). We sacrifice ourselves on the altar of creativity. Luckily for me, reiki is there and can help me get through it.
We’re at T-48 hours. Ready. Get set. GO!

yes!!! I have done this once. I did it in 2004 and it was a wild ride. I started on November 10th and finished just around midnight on the final day of November. It’s a fun, awesome feeling to know you wrote a 50,000 word novel, but then you go back and read it and you’re like, wtf was i thinking!
Good luck!
