First of My Name Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Mine was several years out of date too.... Not close to 22, but yeah, 4 or 5 years off. But my age changed again today, like it does every year on this date, for some reason. :D Happy birthday, then :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoë Sumra Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Happy birthday, Myrddin. :) I intend to do NaNo this year - username Eloisa - to kick start a new project. One entry from my writing notebook is starting to feel like it might have legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime's Wench Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Awesome, Zoe! I never have the time in November to do Nano. I am thinking of applying for UEA's Creative Writing MA again this year, though it is a bit of a long shot. They seem to go for much more experimental or contemporary authors to me.

The Grey Wolf Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Currently writing a short story that popped into my head a week or so back. Did some great brainstorming too for my dream epic to be done sometime in the future also. The only thing is there's a certain part in the backstory I've developed so far that I'm not sure would logically work out realistically. It works in my head but I'm not sure how readers would take it. If a fellow board member wouldn't mind taking the time to look at it and telling me what they think of it I would be grateful.

Starkess Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I was at a wedding this weekend and during the small talk over dinner one of the girls mentioned that she was a literary agent! Of course, she mainly works with children's books, but she insisted I take a card anyway, and it's nice to realize I know at least someone in the industry. I know I was supposed to finish these last 2 scenes forever ago, but I haven't written in a month. Until yesterday, that is. Almost done. So close. I need to finish this week so I can at least put together a rough outline for my NaNo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if she doesn't rep your genre, she may make an introduction to someone who does. Color me jealous. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm reading Blade of Tyshalle by Matthew Stover, and god... everytime I read Stover he makes me feel like I should delete everything I have ever written and start all over again. :bang: I can only dream of ever living up to him. But then again, I'm writing for the fun of it, not to beat others. And IMHO, my book isn't that bad. I'd say it was pretty good ( :blushing: ) but just not that good... yet :D.

The Grey Wolf Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Forgot to mention this in my previous post, sorry. If anyone wants to look at the bit of backstory I mentioned I was struggling with I'll post it then, along with the short story I recently wrote if anyone's interested. I didn't put either in my previous post because I didn't want to put them in the thread before knowing whether anyone is interested or not. Also, congratulations Starkess. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could bump into a lit agent like that. :-D Wow that's amazing, *through gritted teeth* congratulations... :P Yeah it was definitely a double-take moment for me! I had to gather my nerve up to be all casual like "Oh, yeah, I've been submitting to agents." I almost let it go without comment! I really suck at networking and such, so hopefully I don't get too shy to follow up. Lucky for me, although the wedding was in Penn, she actually lives here in SD as does our mutual friend, so I'll definitely be seeing her again. And she's awesome, so yay for new friends too!
