The Shape of Today

What happened over there?

Well.

I ambled over to the NaNoWriMo site this morning to find its forums completely shut down...it appears some restructuring is in progress. The site itself appears fine; my unnamed DW fanfic project is still sitting right there. I'm not quite sure what happened or whether it would affect the event in November, so for now I'll just leave things as they are.

And how are things? Well, I'm putting together a story for a competition here on WDC...I've an idea that seems quite enjoyable and will make for a fun story. And I am doubling down on my reading, something I've been neglecting. While working my way through You Like it Darker, sai King's latest short fiction collection, I've been trying to pay attention to why his tales work so well. Well, apart from his decades of experience, of course. I have to keep asking myself "Why do I like this? Why do I not like that?" Reading is a learning process as well as recreation.

I also plan to get more proactive about inviting people here. The site owners are wonderful and generous people, and the community itself is top-notch when it comes to encouragement. If something has gone wildly sideways over at NaNoWriMo, writers in training are going to need a home. What better than this one?
