Greetings and Salutations!

I have power back! Thank you to everyone who offered support while my house plunged to 52F :) The parakeet's toes got quite frosty, but we all snuggled by the living room fire and power is back again. I've got photos of all the trees which came down around us here -

Now to start chainsawing the trees and getting things caught back up!

NaNoWriMo

November is National Novel Writing Month! This fun project gives you support and encouragement to finish that novel you've always dreamed about writing. We're here to help out!

We have many forums primed to help you with your writing project. We have specific forums for fiction writing, non-fiction writing, and children's book writing. We also have forums on a wide variety of topics like mystery books and romance novels. Whatever it is you're writing about, we can lend a hand!

A key to achieving your goal is to build your cheerleading squad to help urge you on. Post with your aim, and we'll lend the support! This can be the month that you get it done!

Good luck!
