A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I think my nod to NaNoWriMo this year will be learning to use Scrivener and Index Card
Well worth it, I've come to really like Scrivener.
Kid beta readers have been positive on Dragonfire so far. Adult beta readers have been positive too, but aren't deep into it. Maybe I won't have to do any major rewriting and the length is already good.
Anyone doing NaNoWriMo? It's a revising month for me, not a writing month.
I'm doing NaStoReviMo. Attempting to outline the second draft of my short story after making it up as I went along the first time. Trying to pull out the major themes and ideas to really make it pop this time around.
I'm half-assing it without officially signing up -- I want to have a proposal (three chapters and a good synopsis) finished by the end of the month.
I'm not officially signing up either, but I'm hoping to push myself to start writing again.
Do it, Burrell! We'll be cheerleaders.
Thanks Amy
Do it, Burrell!
Amy, that sounds like an excellent plan.
Go PC!
Gud, I am. I'm trying to work a second POV character into an existing novel. The result is both revelatory and BUMPY.
Go, you writing people! Go! You can do it!
I just sent the completed draft for the novel I've been working on to my agent. I made my self-imposed deadline of sending it to her by my birthday, whoo!
Now to nervously wait for feedback. (She liked the 1/3 of it she'd seen before. I'm trying to reassure myself with that memory.)
Woo, Jilli! That is wonderful!
I haven't even opened Scrivener and November is half over. Oh well.
Congrats, Jilli!
I haven't gotten much writing done this month, what with work and memorial and obits and such. But I did some! And hope to do more after tomorrow, and before the next paper set hits me on, er, Wednesday.
