We Write!
Well, November is nearly over and that anguished cry you hear (or more likely, the sound of laptops and tablets hitting the wall) means writers once again wonder why they thought they could do NaNo during November. After all, you have Thanksgiving, Black Friday (that now lasts weeks), family gatherings after a year-plus of Covid... Continue Reading →
This is a guest post by Laura Montgomery. Since this is now the middle of NaNoWriMo, many of us will probably see at least some of ourselves in what Laura has to say.--ASG I would like to report that I am waltzing through NaNo. I am not.

For those of you who might have missed the earlier announcement, Rowena is stepping down from the blog. We're going to miss her, but we understand that there are times when you just have to...
