Yes, still room. Gotcha, Mythopoet A reminder to folks looking to join the cabin, please try to "thank" my original post about setting up a cabin (or PM me). It just makes sure that when I log into MS forums once in a while, that I see a red reminder at the top of my screen that lets me know...

Who is the target audience for this story? In fiction currently, agents are asking for (actually, BEGGING for) diversity in characters. However, what they're really interested in is portrayals of POC or LGBT characters who run through a story WITHOUT having to send a social message to society...

I've been at this writing thing since 2001. I just now feel I might have enough understanding to write an actually good book. There's merit to sticking it out and pulling through the storm, and there's merit to jumping ship so you don't sink to the bottom, too. Each person has to come to that...

Gotcha, guys!

ThinkerX, I need your nano name. It isn't coming up as Thinker-anything so far.

need your name, then. I guess I don't remember it :(

Chessie, I can't remember your nano name, but i'll add you ASAP. I searched you, but maybe you haven't created a novel? Not sure. Let me know.

I have! I LOVE her blog, and navigating it can be a bit of a pain because she has so many posts, but that's not exactly a bad thing!

Skip, no to two cabins. You can leave an existing cabin if it's inactive or you want to switch, but you cannot be in two at the same time. However, closer to the start date, we'll open a thread here, and you can come hang out with us there and post snippets or your progress, I'm sure. The...

Got ya, Brian!

Cabin created. Add your name to the list and "thank" this post, please, to make sure I see you! I haven't been hanging out on the forum lately, as I've been reading, rather than writing. Make it easy on me, please, so I don't miss anyone! Can't wait to see you all in nano-land!

I usually create a cabin and invite anyone who posts their nano name to the thread. I hadn't thought about camp...but holy crap, it's that time of year again! I'll open a cabin!

I'm glad to help. Also, if you haven't checked it out, Suzanne has a blog that's AMAZING. Live Write Thrive | Insights, inspiration, and practical advice for writers And she did a one-year focus on the 12 pillars to novel construction (following her book of the same name) that's helped me So...

C.S. Lakin is releasing a new ebook and print book to help writers become more productive. Perhaps you've heard me talk before about how much her "12 Pillars of Novel Construction" book and her blog have helped me? I'm a huge fan of her craft advice, and while I have no personal connection to...

I research all kinds of weird things, like how to poison people, remember that one? HA! I also watch a lot of crime tv and shows like The Wire and Justified. So I'll try to shed some light. Most drugs come from countries where they grow in the wild, and they're raised by poor farmers who no...
