And if you are attending, be sure to join the Facebook group, where authors will be posting take-overs so you can get to know those who're attending. https://www.facebook.com/groups/842648176074116/
I'll be hosting my first takeover in the group on October 29, so if you'd like to come along and learn more about my books, I'd love to see you there.
This month, I'm hosting my alternative to NaNoWriMo, where participants can set their own goals and aren't required to write every day if that doesn't work for them.
I have written 16,746 so far, which has mostly been on a new story THE LAST MAGIC SHOP, a YA fantasy-adventure-romance which I plan on submitting to StorytellerPublisher 22.
I also want to write 30k if possible on THE STARLIGHT PRINCE.
I plan on doing a similar event in December, as I need to have both stories complete and sent to my editor by the end of the year, so if goal setting, daily writing check-in and regular sprints sound like something you'd benefit from, come join me. https://claredugmore.com/blog/write-on
