No Writing Hour This Week |
I was hoping to run the writing hour on Thursday this week, but the way my week is shaping up, I'm cancelling it ... sorry, all!
If anyone does want to meet this week with others in the Chatroom, please do feel free to start a forum topic to arrange it. The Chatroom is available 24/7.
:-)

I'll be talking to our guest speaker Phoenix about
planning and goal-setting this Wednesday evening, so if you do have any last minute questions you'd like me to include in that, please post on this topic before then!
Seminar Requests for 2018
If there's a particular topic you'd like us to cover in 2018's
seminars, let me know! And if someone else has suggested a topic or idea that you like, it's really helpful for me to know that you want a seminar on it, too.

Three Years Ago: Structuring and Outlining Your Novel, with K.M. Weiland |
Three years ago, author and blogger K.M. Weiland joined us to talk about setting out a basic structure for your novel, all the better to begin your year's writing.
You can get the audio seminar here, along with the transcript and
worksheet:
The seminar covers: - Why structure matters, whether you’re a “plotter” or a “pantser” when it comes to writing
- The ten key structural moments of a novel, and how far through your story they
should each occur
- The difference between outlining and structuring, and the different types of outline you might write
- Common mistakes that writers (even published ones) make when it comes to structure
You can discuss the seminar on the forums here:
