No, I'm not back at IJ yet. But I set up an asylum filter so I can visit my comms while avoiding the pompous proselytizing about the election still going on in my flist. Yayzors! That being said, I stumbled upon a couple things that might be helpful to anyone at the editing stage of their novels. One is an editing forum recently set up at the NaNo site here with some helpful remarks. If you have an account there, you might want to join the discussion. Another is a RedRoom.com contest where you can win a $2,000 professional editing consultation for free just by signing up and creating a blog. Full contest rules are here. This was an eye-opener for me, as I didn't know you could get paid 2 grand just for three hours of sifting through someone's book. Doh! And apparently you don't need a license or anything to do it, simply a desire to.

If it wasn't so painful to wade through other people's work so much of the time I'd totally go into business for myself! )

For this shameless advertisement, I am directing you to my journal...

In short: it's a call to writers to buy books (fiction or books on writing) to help a fellow writer get her house ready for winter. If you are not eager in starving your wallet any more than it already is (believe me, I know), some links in my entry may still be of interest to you, as they take you to writing sites (one writing community, and one site bulging with brilliant writing articles and workshops that are free-for-all).

Thanks for reading! (^-^)/

Oooh, NaNo's going to start up in just a few weeks, so we ought to begin planning for it now. Not that anyone has to join NaNoWriMo—no no no! But NaNo's an excellent motivator for the month of November, so we may as well take advantage of it, eh?

What's that? No ideas for a novel yet? Or maybe you have an idea for a plot but you're lacking some characters? Or perhaps you have characters, but no setting? Most of these came from [info]writers_cafe or [info]no_utopia, and they're excellent places to start:

( World Building )

( Character Building )

( How to Avoid Writing a Mary Sue )
