July Novel Writing Month - prayers for inspiration
« on: July 01, 2015, 02:09:33 am »
I am doing July "Camp NaNo" (based on National Novel Writing Month, in November), my goal is 10,000 more words on my novel over the course of July.

I myself will pray for inspiration, and also pray for my mates who are doing it, but I would really appreciate it if anyone could spare an intention for me/us :)


Also as an aside, I know that there are gods/goddesses who appreciate or are patrons of poetry for instance but I'm thinking it would still be good to sort of dedicate my prose this month to them?

Thanks.

Thanks for posting this; I had no idea it was going on! This is exactly what I need to get me back to my next book.

I'm in!
The first song sets the wheel in motion / The second is a song of love / The third song tells of Her devotion / The fourth cries joy from the sky above
The fifth song binds our fate to silence / and bids us live each moment well / The sixth unleashes rage and violence / The seventh song has truth to tell
The last song echoes through the ages / to ask its question all night long / And close the circle on these pages / These, the metamythos songs

If you're looking for pertinent Heathen deities, Bragi would be a good choice for dedicating your writing to.

Awesome, thank you!

It was interesting, I came across a prayer to Brigid yesterday that I found extremely pertinent and I really connected with it, and it is basically asking for help letting the words flow from the imagination onto the page.

Where did you find that prayer? I'm always interested in prayers to Brighid! And I'm sure my writing could do with the help too
