Just spotted this if anyone’s got anything that might suit?

SloMo. Love it. Matches me perfectly.
(Although I did manage a couple of hours yesterday on the WIP – nothing new added, but dialogue’s snappier!)

I like Two Cities and the Void, but wonder whether, for the novel as you’ve described it, The Void Between Two Cities works better? Which is more central to the story – the space between, or the actual cities? Looks like you’re getting closer to finding your title though.

Kaz – what’s your name on NaNoWriMo? I’m Athelstone.

Apologies to anybody receiving odd spam/phishing/troll messages at the moment. Hopefully an eviction is imminent.

Totally up for SlowMo.

I have to say I’m a little disappointed. The Den gets its first spammer and they didn’t even post a wacky blog about plastics or grass. Dull. Must try harder

Go with the one you and your agent both like. 🙂
FWIW I like it too.

Love London and her Shadow.

Most of them are good, but I particularly like ‘Two Cities and the Void’ and ‘London and her Shadow’

Mine would definitely be a slow write. I have no idea how I’m going to get any writing done at all between now and the New Year… Not even my Room with a view! 🙁
I’ll sign up though, and hope for the best… -

I like Raine’s suggestion of December. It would allow those doing NaNo to keep up a bit of momentum while not having to keep to such a ferocious pace, and is soon enough that folk not doing NaNo have something to look forward to. And it could be a good way of getting Room With A View entries done

I’d be up for SloMoWriMo

The Banjo
The phone rings in the lost property office at Euston Station in London.
“Lost Property, Smith speaking, how may we help?”
He takes a sip from his tea, listens.
“Yes, sir, anything left on a train on this line ends up here. Assuming it’s turned in, like. What have you lost?
“So, a banjo is it sir? Well let me have a look, won’t be…[Read more] -

Great story Elle, well done. I agree with Philippa about that line!

Philippa East replied to the topic NaNoWriMo in the forum Coffee Shop 7 years, 9 months ago
I might sort of do it from the sidelines… use the general impetus and ground swell to push on with book 2. Very much doubt I’ll be hitting those targets, but I’d like to get some more chapters written.
Maybe we can have DeNoWriMo (Den novel writing month)

Nice one. Worth posting in the opportunities thread?
Will do – if I can find it! Still not totally familiar with where to find stuff…
