Yesterday (Monday) was Labour Day in NZ, so I had a glorious long weekend - the first public holiday since June, which in these parts symbolises spring finally starting to turn towards summer! I am so ready for it! And of course, Christmas is now less than two months away, which means there's things to do to be ready for a relaxing Christmas Day ( Read more... )

Is anyone planning on Camp NaNo for this July? I completely blew off the earlier one this year but would like to give the one in July a go.

Hey guys, it’s Monday again!  I know we kinda flopped the last couple weeks and I apologize for that.  So, catch up time!  How are you holding up?  Is November treating you well?

Reminders:

1. Flash Challenge!  Your flash challenge prompt is: lizard.  Give me 100 words or a graphic and I’ll reward you with my undying love and admiration ( Read more... )

If anyone is participating...and has created their project for the month...and would like to be part of a ! Mill cabin, let me know and we'll create one.

I'm going to be editing another project, so come on in and join me :)

I've got the cabin set up.

Anyone who wants to join in, leave me your NaNo name and I'll send the invites out.
I'll have a delayed start to NaNo...but its okay; I'll manage ;)

If you want to join, apparently you have to have created your project first...so once you do that, let me know and I'll get you added :)

NaNoWriMo.org hosted a Q&A with 2 editors from one of their sponsors, Swoon Reads. I found it very informative even though YA is not my genre. It was interesting to hear what editors look for, the revising process and how they find new authors. Not just for NaNo folks :-)
