Writer Beware makes posts on which publishing houses to avoid at all costs, which words to look for and which words to watch out for in contracts, and several other things that will keep you in control and knowledgeable about the publishing process.  I’d suggest reading through the website if you want to avoid getting ripped off, cheated, or scammed.

Good luck to everyone participating in November’s writing challenge! The SNC’s own Environmental Educator will also be participating and wanted to share some tips for this month: 

1. Don’t be afraid to jump segments. Write where you can and jump to the next scene that excites you if you feel like you’re running out of steam. It’ll be easier to go back and connect the pieces later. 

2. Pick a buddy. Have someone else holding you accountable. Send each other the updates to your WIP at the end of the day just to share with someone your word count accomplishments. 

3. Have a mini reward system. For every X amount of words you finish you can give yourself a piece of your favorite Halloween candy. Or make a cup of tea. Or give your S/O a snuggle.
