  Every three months … . Yeah, remember? http://5-rings.com/blog/2009/09/every-three-months/ Shall we try this again? Let’s make it nice and easy. Ten days isn’t a lot of time to get prepared. A lot of you might be coming off a NaNoWriMo crash an...

  Merrilee Faber’s running another Novel-Push Initiative this month (Yes, she asked my permission first). Unfortunately, if you blinked, you already missed out on the tiny window of opportunity to sign-up.  I decided to join—It’s always fun, a...
