But Wait, There's More...

It's a sad time to say that the inaugural SoCNoC is coming to a close and will soon be in the past. There are however, many, many happier things to talk about right now and all of them coming up in the future. So stick around!

Well Deserved Distraction

Work at your craft, be true to your art

Posted by: maggenpye

When I was a fledgling, before I could make real letters, I'd write. I remember this, I was perhaps three or four. I remember the newsprint scrapbook and the yellow wax crayon. I remember that in my head I was the very best story teller. My stories were the best. Everyone in the world wanted to hear them. I spent hours filling pages and books with 'stories' that changed each time I told them. I had to learn written language, it was the only way to pin the story down.

Magic Dice

Posted by: morel

So you started out the month strong. You knew where the story was going. Everything was in order. Then it hits and some one in the story asks your MC "What are we going to now?" and the only response you have is "How am I suppose to know?"

Actually, "Real Life" doesn't really suck, but I did get your attention.

Equilibrium, poise, stability, steadiness, deportment. All these things are needed to finish this novel.

Just a little earlier today I was writing in my lounge. This is the place I usually sit and write, except today it was slightly different.

No Villains

Posted by: cottreau

In my favorite stories, there are no villains. There is still conflict since all good stories require conflict, but that doesn't mean that anyone has to be a villain.
