[lilly_c]

Sorry I missed yesterday, I had a bad night on Monday and needed to rest as well as getting my head back into the right spaces.
How is the writing going today? What about the last two days?

Discussion: resources. A while back crookedspoon asked for Writing resources/suggestions/insights on how to write longfic when you've never done that would be superb. As well as their request, what are some resources that you would recommend? It can be anything at all - progammes (including assistive tech options), blogs, books, challenges etc. I will then use all of the suggestions from the comments to make a main resources post that will also be a permanent sticky post.

November sign up

[lilly_c]

It's time to sign up for the Novber WIP challenge! The previous month can be found here.

Some people join the challenge midmonth, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways.

But for those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.

Signups will be open until the end of October.

• Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like
  
• Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point
  
• What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc.
  
• What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto!
  
• How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc.
  
• Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you
  

Copypaste below:

<b>Level of challenge:</b> <b>Fandom(s) involved:</b> <b>What you're looking for from the challenge:</b> <b>What you could offer other participants yourself:</b> <b>How people should contact you:</b> <b>Time zone:</b>

I couldn't continue to run this challenge without assistance with the daily check-in posts. Many thanks to everyone who's helped with the check-ins before!

Please let me know if you'd be interested in helping out. A week per person would be ideal (I usually assign weeks running Sunday-Saturday just for consistency). I'm happy to help come up with suggestions for discussion topics (& Friday or Saturday is usually the general chat/snippet/beta-seeking etc. post).

(& if you've completed a fic through the challenge, don't forget our collection on AO3! If you need AO3 invites, let me know.)
