I'm starting a big writing project soon. I'd like to start coming here regularly for support and maybe critique. I'll try to offer my own eyes for others, too.

I mean, that's assuming the regulars want to move here. I shouldn't really have sounded so definite. But the suggestion was starting the numbering from scratch. I hope we keep the format.

I'm in! Great to be back with the writing crew!

Edit - Yay H.Pro made it! Was worried when you didn't join Discord. Don't dream up any new writing challenges until I'm done with the last one. :-)

Alright I'm here. I am so not doing nano this year but I can at least PRETEND I am a writer.
Fiction! I had no idea you were gonna be around ResetERA, it's great to see you again! Always good to have someone else unabashedly in the fanfic/fandom depths. =P

Also hello WritingERA! I mostly lurked at the old place but as part of my general push to write more I'll try and hang around here a bit more actively.

I'm glad my Fandom efforts weren't in vain :p

Heh. I suspect the next writing challenge won't have any troubles finding participants.

I've got to see how I'm going to make time for writing, drawing, and designing a game. I've been failing at writing and designing so far, but I have to force myself to even when I'm tired from work and just want to relax.

No Garamond font option. Disappointed.
^^best post^^

Hey, y'all! I'm gonna tryyyyy to keep up more in this one but I don't get a lot of time to write for myself anymore since I don't know how to say no to projects and have 23903245 research things going at once. I have a draft of my book due next month but it's on a long publishing cycle so it's pretty low stress. Sorta. Kinda. A little. Still can't give big details on that but as soon as I can, I will.

Welcome home, friends.

I haven't written a short story for a couple months and I've been way in the weeds editing my novel and doing my, *ahem* day job. I thought I'd try to write something Wednesday night to "limber up" for NaNoWriMo and in an hour I wrote ~250 words...

Hoo boy, this is gonna be interesting...

Today I'll be revising my first novel a bit more, I'm still fudging with it/trying to catch typos on the later pages while querying with the first 10-50 (whatever agents ask to see). I hate this part of the process though. It's always a struggle to catch every last typo, and sometimes the frustration with my own work. You always have to let go at some point, otherwise you're stuck in an endless cycle of revisions, but it's always irritating how one section will read like gold to me, and another is good, but just, not quite as good as the rest, like something is slightly off.

This looks great. I'll spend some time here as well... Not sure how I missed these threads in the Other Place, but glad to be here now.

Subbed, I'm glad I saw this thread. It's been awhile since I've had anything like a community to talk about writing. Most people in my day to day give me funny looks.

I'm starting a big writing project soon. I'd like to start coming here regularly for support and maybe critique. I'll try to offer my own eyes for others, too.

I like it, I'm down as well. More than happy to offer critiques or even do "trades". I've been working on a book for the last several years and I'm finishing up what I hope to be my final draft. Then I have to actively research what path of publishing to take. I've tried to get into it in the midst of my last break between drafts but got scared off by how helpless it makes me feel lol.

Going to try to do more than lurk in this thread now that we are all about fresh starts and resetting and all that...

Guess I might as well watch this thread, since after NaNo I'll finally get around polishing stuff to send out. I've been putting it off mostly out of self doubt, but well, obviously if you don't try, you've already failed.

I am not sure if I can participate in NaNo due to other activities, but I will try. When the challenges start up again after NaNo I will be sure to participate in those.

Excellent! I'm looking forward to helping out if possible. I know what you mean about that helpless feeling though. I think many of us here probably do. We've got this though.

I probably won't participate in NaNoWriMo this year either, it just stresses me out. Definitely interested in writing challenges though,

I'm not a NaNoWriMo fellow either. I can knock out either a ton of pages daily or a single page in the span of a fortnight, and worrying over it has never done me any good. I understand the spirit of the event involves throwing caution to the wind, but I'm anxious enough as-is.

I'll merrily cheer for all those that do participate, though.

Are cartoonists who draw and write welcome here?

Same here. I think I'm going to participate as well.
Yes of course! It's in the OP! Oh....nothing is in the OP....I'm right on top of it though, no worries.

Threads for challenges normally go up on Tuesdays. #1 coming up soon! Submissions for the last old-site challenge have been submitted, although they're not in a thread here.

I'm at a writing retreat right now. A bunch of us get together once or twice a year and rent out a house for a few days. We get to do our own thing and it's great. We even have a mascot - a one legged plastic crow called Alastair.

Hello, other writers!

I am not posting this right now to avoid my writing responsibilities because I most certainly do not have writer's block.

Subbed!

Currently editing a novel—about halfway done. Eager to get it out, into the hands of betas. Don't think I've ever been so eager for anything ever in my life.

Yeah, I've been meaning to do this too, there are a couple of stories I think I could knock into shape. And at least with the rejections I will have an idea how much further I have to go.
