That’s a good idea, Debi. Any suggestions? #writingden ? #denofwriterforum ?

This is great, Gipps. I love Jane Friedman’s blogs – I’ve found so many helpful resorces on her site over the last couple of years. Rhanks for posting 🙂

I hesitated about posting a general update about the Den too. But I think you’re all right – I’m sure I’m in contact with some Cloudies on twitter, FB and email so I’ll set up a smoke signal and see who responds. Maybe everyone else could do the same?
You could definitely hold the challenge here, Ath, assuming you’re happy to. I think you’d get a…[Read more]

Looks suspiciously like a move of our rooms here might be necessary… I wish now I’d been quicker to post a general comment about this place on the Cloud wall so’s more people had found us here.

THank-you Debi! Shortstops had not come across my radar. Or it had, but my radar is on the blink. 🙂

Best of luck, Pinkie. Roiting for you.

And what a great thread 🙂

Snuggle in, guys. I might just be able to get my wings around all of you.

It’s not looking good :-/

Thanks all! I’m excited about this one. It has the big battles and moral quandries.
