  QueryTracker.net — Authority: 460
  So yesterday marked the beginning of this years NaNoWriMo event. Which brings the point of the mega-wordcount exercise up for discussion.

  Stinkbrown — Authority: 121
  I am out there. I’m looking for an agent, or agency. I am sending my writing off into the world. It’s a first step, but I am very sure the first of so many more to come. At first that sounds promising, but it is not, it means I know this will take a while and I will have quite a lot to do. I have three novels ...

• Calling All Fish

  
  Ray Abernathy — Authority: 110
