Random November Info

So, hopeful all of us are surviving our Novembers, and occasionally finding some time to sit down and write a bit (or more than a bit in some cases). I just wanted to do a quick post with the website that Varley O’Connor suggested for finding venues for writing:

www.newpages.com

I would also suggest checking out various genre organizations. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America have information about legitimate venues for their genres at:

That’s it for now. I still have Marybeth’s list of places for Creative Non-Fiction venues and I will try to post some of those tonight or tomorrow.

Write!

A Challenge!

Just a quick note here. More updates to follow, I promise.


We have a challenge for the Writer’s Bloc next week: Write something you would not normally write. It can be short, a couple paragraphs or a poem, but use a tone, theme, character that is as out of your normal writing comfort zone as possible.


If you usually write rhymed poetry, go unrhymed. Switch out your concreteness for the abstract or vice-versa. Never written about the undead? Give it a shot. No happy endings? Now is the time. Have fun with it.


Work on your November goals.


Write and continue awesome!
