Halloween is starting early. I’m part of a Halloween trick or treat even were you visit author websites, look for the trick or treat bag and get great prizes.
I’ve crossed over to the dark side and finally gotten a facebook author page. This and my newsletter is where you’ll find out about all the Innocent Darkness book news, etc, as we get closer to release day.
So, who’s writing Steampunk for NaNoWriMo?
I am. I’ll be writing the sequel to Innocent Darkness during NaNo, since ID was my 2009 NaNo book. Yeah. We’ll see how that goes.
I’ll also be teaching Writing Steampunk from Aether to Zeppelin online in November. This can be a great resource if you’re attempting to write Steampunk for the first time during NaNo, since not only will you have a writing community to support you, but you can ask all your manuscript-related questions as you write.
I also run the Writing Steampunk Yahoo Group. Writers of Steampunk of all levels are welcome. Make sure you tell me you found out about it on Steamed. We will be cheering each other on for NaNo.
Also, we’ve made a list of some of our favorite Writing Steampunk posts here at Steamed.
To all of you starting NaNoWriMo next week, regardless of whether you’re writing steampunk or something else, playing by the rules, or using it as a swift kick to finish a project, all of us at Steamed wish you the best of luck.
Suzanne Lazear writes steampunk tales for teens. Her debut novel, INNOCENT DARKNESS, book one of The Aether Chronicles, releases August 2012 from Flux. Visit her personal blog for more adventures.
Question for the workshop: Do we have to have a yahoo e-mail in order to get the workshop or can we use a hotmail e-mail? Thank you!
Hotmail is fine. In fact, personally I prefer hotmail to yahoo in the yahoo group setting, but that’s just me
For NaNo I’ll also be doing a steampunk sequel, working on Her Own Devices, book two in the Magnificent Devices trilogy. Onward!
