☙ Aspiring Authors Club ☙ New & Accepting

[BlueEyedKite]

IndentionThis is a club for writers who are in the process of writing a book. You can join even if you don't intend to publish your work. We also welcome users who are not aspiring authors, but would like to provide support to potential authors through their journey. Discussion will center around any aspect of your current writing project, searching for beta readers, offering to be a beta reader, questions or comments about the path to publishing etc. This is not the club to discuss books you are reading, role playing, or fanfic writing (these topics already have their own clubs!). We welcome one and all who are curious about getting their original writing works shared to the masses!

IndentionI will be participating in national November writing month. However, in light of the drama with NANOWRIMO, there is no affiliation with any organization. I will be using Nov to finish my novel and I welcome any members to join me in writing 50,000 words in November!

I might offer CS prizes for members who meet word count milestones c:

Anything you want to share?: I can't wait to connect with others in this process of finishing their novel. I am in a local writing group that just went through the different publishing routes. I'll be sharing some useful resources to self publish or how to write query letters, a lot of helpful links.

Hey, I heard about this! The best club on CS ever?? Yes, this is the one.

Lemme answer all of these questions (:

How is the writing process going? Swimmingly dahling
Do you have beta readers for your book? Are you a beta reader yourself?: Alas, I have none so far. But I can be a beta reader if one should have a need of one.
Are you a plotter or a pantser? A bit of both, I think.
What has been the most rewarding part of writing your novel? And the biggest challenge? Having people actually enjoy my little world and characters I have created. The biggest challenge is making it enjoyable.
Are you going to self publish or try to get traditionally published? One day, that is my goal.

Word and page count for my book can be followed in real time in my signature!

[I demand we be able to vote for 2 options on the poll. I could only vote for one and immediately clicked fantasy but then I saw the sci-fi and we can’t seem to revote on this poll…and I like fantasy and sci-fi equally.]

Anything you want to share?:
I have actually been considering writing a werewolf book because I love werewolves and have my own version of them. I just don’t know where I’d start, or if a publisher would even think it was worth publishing, and also I feel like it would be better as like…a visual novel or some sort of book with art but I suck at drawing. I can literally only do one or two poses for animals, and I only draw humans as busts or headshots because I can’t draw hands or feet, so it probably wouldn’t even work as a book with pictures.
