Nathan Bransford - The Forums

A lot of people use NaNoWriMo to start something fresh. It's a good time to jump on a new idea because, let's face it, a month isn't a huge amount of time to spend away from your WIP. It's also good to get some distance if you're frustrated with what you're currently working on. That way, come Dec 1...

Geez... I think I may have to join too. My WIP needs a rewrite and I'm thinking 50,000 words should be a good revamp.

Now let's not go crazy...

I'll play Mira.

What if fun didn't exist?

Just finished Torment by Lauren Kate, the sequel to Fallen. <3

Random fact about a Blue Tongue: they have sharp teeth.

Random fact about me: I just got bitten. :(

My main character is someone who does whatever is best for her. Every move she makes is calculated to make a better life for herself. Until the end.

Okay, so I think the single most important thing I've learnt is that the majority of authors/agents/publi...

Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare - the prequel to the Mortal Instruments series. Ooh, I was eyeing that one on Amazon yesterday. I haven't read the Mortal Instruments series yet, though.

Hahaha, not surprised Margo. Not surprised.

Usually, if people are raving a book, I avoid reading it. I'm not sure why. Occasionally, if something is really hyped I'll read a synopsis and decide if I like it. I'm a big one for covers.

And it doesn't take much for us to lose our heads. What does money matter when you're running naked through the woods?

That's a pity Margo. Those workshops sound good and it would have been nice to meet up. At least I have somewhere to start.

:) Thanks.

I'd have one author, she'd make me a billionaire and then I'd retire.

I honestly don't know why Nathan hasn't thought of that yet...

I work shift work, so my days are rather atypical. Today, with no work, went as follows: Wake up whenever. Sift through forums/blogs/emails/messages on my iPhone while I'm still trying to wake up. Coffee! Hang clothes on line and put more washing on. Drop my dear siblings at school. Coffee! and star...
