This year, Spencer and I voted early, but since our polling place didn't have "I Voted" stickers yet, here's a photo from when I voted in 2018. (Rocking my royal corgi sweater to remind us all of what a great privilege it is to vote!)โฃ

If you voted early or already mailed in your absentee ballot, well done and thank you! If you're heading to the polls today, may your wait be brief and your "I Voted" sticker cute and state-inspired.โฃ

What's on the "I Voted" stickers in your state? I have to admit that Ohio's "I โค๏ธ Voting" sticker isn't quite as fun as Georgia's peach ones, though I might be biased. ๐Ÿ‘ #govote #election2020

Regardless of who said it, it's great advice for anyone diving into NaNoWriMo today! Writing 50,000 words in 30 days is no joke, and you'll only do yourself a disservice by trying to edit as you go. Use the next month to get your story down. You can't edit a blank page, and that's where the real magic happens anyway.โฃ

Also, consider this your personal invitation to join my #NaNoWriMoChallenge! Swipe to see all 30 days of prompts, and save this post to make it easy to find every day. I'll post fun Story templates for each of the gold prompts, and we can conquer #NaNoWriMo together! โฃ

Initially, I thrifted this @hm sweater from @kbousq's closet because I wanted to join the animal print party and tigers have always been my favorite big cats.

Not gonna lie, I've been a bit obsessed getting ready for National Novel Writing Month this year.โฃ
โฃ
๐Ÿ““ I created a free 30-day #Preptober workbook that nearly 1,000 people have downloaded to help them get ready for November!โฃ
โฃ
๐Ÿ“ I curated a 5-day version of that workbook for all the writers who (understandably) don't have time to spend a month prepping. โฃ
โฃ
๐Ÿ’Œ I'm writing daily emails throughout the month to encourage other writers to keep at it!โฃ
โฃ
๐Ÿ’ป And now I've put together this #NaNoWriMoChallenge for any writers who want to spread the NaNoWriMo love and give a peek into their writing life on social media.โฃ
โฃ
Every day throughout #NaNoWriMo, I'll post to my Stories using the prompts listed above, and I'd love for you to join me. I'll also have Story templates for all the prompts listed in gold, so be sure you're following me and you save this post to come back to it during the month. #AspiringNaNoWriMoโฃ

The United Nations created this day in 2012 to recognize the rights of girls and the unique challenges they face around the world. These challenges include everything from gender-based violence and lack of educational opportunities to child marriage and laws and stereotypes that undermine gender equality.โฃ

๐Ÿ“ She wanted to be an author and wrote novel-length stories in the style of her favorite Dear America series every day after school.โฃ
โฃ
๐ŸŒŸ She also wanted to be an actress. (The red hair was courtesy of a community theater stint as little orphan Annie!)โฃ
โฃ
โค๏ธ She was so self-conscious of the broken blood vessel on her nose but hadn't yet started to count calories or nitpick all of her body's "flaws."โฃ
โฃ
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ She loved every bit of school but especially social studies and learning about American history.โฃ
โฃ
๐Ÿˆ She was already very much a cat person.โฃ
โฃ
Girls around the world are advocating for change in the areas of climate change, children's rights, and more.
