June largely corresponds with my mid-year break from uni, so I have few excuses for not being able to write. To date I have been more of a spec fic writer, but the target in June is more of a thriller. At least that's the idea. I have been doing the preparatory work like plot outlines and character profiles well in advance so that come June I can really rip into it. Plus June in Canberra, Australia, is a cold, miserable place, so I may as well keep myself warm and active in front of the laptop! 13 May 2008 09:17:26

I remember joining up last year on the eve of SoCNoc with no idea what I was doing, but battled through. This year I too have a basic idea, with plot oultine, not sure of genre, drama I suppose, and instead of setting it in NZ, it will be a small English town. Cold here in Invercargill at that time too. have fun!!! 13 May 2008 17:46:55 http://gay_belle.livejournal.com 'Southern Scriber.'

The long weekend should give us NZers a good start. :) I think challenges like SoCNoC are a great way to try something new with writing. 13 May 2008 20:51:13 No Excuses. Just Write.

Nice to have a fellow Aussie along for the ride with all these kiwi's. I am an aussie stuck in California and hoping one day to get back. To celebrate the kick off of SoCNoC I will be cooking meat pies and pavlova :) Pam 14 May 2008 10:44:27 My idea of hell is being trapped in a room with no books!
