Got it fine. Thanks so much.

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.

I'm hoping they'll be at least a little cool, because they're meeting at Hubby's old store, ie, a game store is a comfortable environment to them, as opposed to a meeting room at BYU (which is another NaNo group). I can at least go meet them and see. Interacting with three-dimensional people is supposed to be good. I'm half expecting to know a bunch of them anyway.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hey NaNoWriMo. I've been tumbling an idea around in my head for months. Maybe I can give it a kick start. I did it once before but only participated on line.

Well, my story 'Sarah' got second place in its little contest (8 entries on a fairly small website). The first place story just got sold to a magazine that pays pro rates so I don't feel bad coming in second. Now to edit 'Sarah' and figure out this whole short story submission process.
My novel is moving along too. I'm about a quarter of the way though my next to last revision. The last one will just be about hunting down grammar errors and too-weak sentences so hopefully it won't take really long. It's not like I'm not trying to weed them out this time as well.
