now on Word Riot: good writing, no remorse






*******



NOVEMBER: National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1.

The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.


Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.
Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.

Novel Ways to Promote Your Novel"


By Patricia Fry


For most authors of fiction, the very idea of promotion is distasteful. It's not uncommon for novelists to break out in hives or develop a nervous twitch when faced with the reality of marketing their books.
As a published author, you know that you must promote your book and you scurry to find your comfort zone. You'll sign up with Amazon.com, of course, put up a website and solicit reviews through the traditional magazines and sites. Those of you with more nerve will try to arrange book signings and, uh-- maybe attend a few local book festivals. And mostly, you'll be met with disappointment.
But there is so much more that you can do to draw attention to your book-- to let readers know that it exists. Here are a few ideas that you may not have thought of: (And they don't even require that you develop the persona of a hard-selling hawker.)
