Got it, TB. I took a quick glimpse and have some early thoughts. Let me get a good night's sleep in me and I'll take a closer look tomorrow.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Has anyone here used or heard much about contract review services by any of the writers organizations - National Writers Union or the bigger ones? In the absence of an agent would they be a good place to get a contract reviewed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Case Studies in Successful Self-Publishing
Such a product isn't going to provide a living, quit-your-job salary—not necessarily, or right away. But the benefits include near-immediate gratification and personal investment in the book as a business entity, both things that traditional publishing alienates authors from.

There's a NaNoWriMo group in my area, and they're going to be meeting at the game store Hubby used to manage for their kickoff meeting. I'd kind of like to go, but for some reason I'm leery of meeting people who might come to know where I live (so very odd of me, who has been thinking I need to meet more meat people), plus I'm thinking of using NaNoWriMo to kickstart finishing Career Advancement, not original fic. So I'm leery of bringing that POV into a writing group that is geared towards producing a novel.
Has anyone done the NaNoWriMo in person?

Always Anti-fascist!
No, but I'm kind of a bitch about rah-rah, joiner things. And people who have, like, writing sweatshirts and special creative pens. I need a NanoWriMo of Larry David wannabes, and around here? Not so much.
