Writing Group / Re: NaNoWriMo?
« on: October 16, 2009, 12:53:40 PM »
I'm considering doing NaNo this year too, but I'm feeling a little apprehensive about setting aside my current WIP (which is proceeding at a snail's pace--first attempt ever atwriting anything) to do something that will basically amount to a waste of time.

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to the forum, so I haven't quite figured out where everything is yet.

Books / What is the best and/or worst recent book you've read?

I read a ton while I was in school, then got distracted by music for many years. I find recently that my passion for reading has returned and that both good and bad books help with your writing. With that in mind:

What is the best and/or worst books you've read that are relatively new releases (within the past couple of years)?

Writing Group / Advice for an absolute beginner
« on: August 13, 2009, 01:35:45 PM »
I have never written seriously before, but I was recently struck with inspiration. A story idea popped into my head and I've been taking notes as ideas come to me, but I'm at a complete loss at how to start putting this thing together.

What is the best way to get started? Any pitfalls I should avoid, or other general advice for an absolute beginner? I'm considering taking a "Creative Writing 101" type course, but my schedule isn't very flexible at the moment. Are there any online courses/schools that anyone would recommend?
