![]() You’ve written some nonfiction before, right? Lauren is, is one of the best editors that I know and she brings a really interesting skill set to the challenge, but Lauren has decided to write her first novel length work. And Lauren Moore, editor extraordinaire and one of the keystroke medium stalwarts. Welcome to the challenge, Amy, thank you. But Amy has has found this really interesting niche in romance with a little fantasy and some kind of supernatural stories. Amy and I go back over a decade with some other work that we used to do. Probably the the person other than Ian that I have known the longest in this group. And since then, has you have you know, your military sci fi especially, is just really taken off and, and you’ve honed a niche there for that. Second star it’s unpublished now but yeah, second star. ![]() The the one that was the retelling of Peter Pan. Josh was when you wrote that series and forgive me I can’t remember the name of it, but you’ll correct me. I remember when I first fell in love with your work. Josh is the author of several science fiction and military sci fi specifically novels and you also back in the day. Pressure, you know, this is just what we’re that’s what we’re here for. Ian is an English teacher, a middle school English teacher who has written a number of short stories II and this is your first long work that you’ve committed to that right? I am the the chief evangelist at dabble and the podcaster. And, and everybody said, that sounds like a lot of fun. And the challenge that I that I gave these guys was let’s let’s come in with a fresh mind and go from idea to plan to first draft in in two months. But I was just thinking, what if we took this great concept stretched it out a little bit to encompass. Now some people that may look like a full month of preparation and a full month of writing? Some people it may look like a couple of weeks of prep, and then six weeks of writing, you know, we’re not being dogmatic about that. So I was thinking, what if we had a month to prepare, and then a month to, then with the preparation that we’ve done, get those 50,000 words. But you know, if you’re gonna succeed at nano, one thing that they tell you is that you should prepare ahead of time. So in the whole month of November you What’s that come out to anybody done that it like 16 170 Something words a day, I think it is or just pulling it off the top of my head. dapple, who sponsors the story craft Cafe has been a sponsor of NaNoWriMo for a number of years and we love nano and you know, nano the the, the idea behind it is to write at least 50,000 words, because that’s the kind of entry bar for novel length work is 50,000 words. And what we’re going to do, I’ll just kind of give everybody a really quick introduction. ![]() Why don’t you come on and do it with me and Josh Hayes and II and garner and Amy Hale and Lauren Moore, we’re all just, you know, ready to go on this crazy journey with me. And then I emailed some of my best friends and said, Hey, guys, I’ve got this idea that I want to do. This is something that I just dreamed up about a month ago.
