Date: 2012-10-02 04:59 pm (UTC)But I have a question for you. :)
Do we post our work at the end of the day here, submit it to you, post it on our journal, or what? *dumdumgirl*

Date: 2012-10-03 12:11 am (UTC)As far as posting here on the community... a great question BTW... every month, except for November, is open posting! So go for it! The only thing that I ask members to keep in mind are...
(1) try to keep the subject of the post more or less about writing, in general (for example: cool web sites to share or questions about technique, etc.) or specific to your own writing.
(2) Please use a cut for anything lengthy (like excepts you would like to share) or as you say, you could post a link to your journal if you like.
There's no formal write up about this but I might suggest that you mention in the subject of your post what you are looking for... a review of your work, an answer to a question, a request, a suggestion, etc. Something like (an example):
Subject: Need your opinion about a title for my novel
After NNWM starts on November 1, the community will be closed to open posting so we don't distract members who would rather concentrate solely on their writing. But I will post a daily countdown and word count reminder (much like this month) and members can reply to these posts with personal excerpts (links to longer work), questions, suggestions, or good/bad news...

Date: 2012-10-02 06:22 pm (UTC)My story, what if this was real (not just being sold but also created magic) and used throughout the world. I'm going to try some cyberpunk mixed with a dash of fantasy/supernatural this year.

Date: 2012-10-03 06:19 am (UTC)"Is a person ever less than a person?"
"Does Sherlock Holmes have human feelings?"
"Is it possible to imagine one's way into understanding another, and if not, is it worth trying anyway?"
It sounds all ~dramatic~ and ~meaningful~ but in truth it's just my answer to Sherlock fandom refusing, by and large, to treat Sherlock's character as a human being, and also it's a huge ripoff of John Green's Paper Towns.
Oh, one last question: "Is it possible to win NaNoWriMo and learn a new keyboard layout at the same time?" I'll have a month's experience with Dvorak by the time November starts--but I also know how to switch back if necessary.
