Beautiful Books: Introduce Your Novel!
Hello, writerlings! I know Beautiful People is late this month, and the reason for that is that Cait and I were working on a surprise. (And we forgot, but we won't discuss that.) What surprise, you may ask?
Some of you might remember that last year Beautiful People was put on pause for us to spend some time talking about our novels: our beautiful books. (Get it?) We themed it around NaNoWriMo, and since November is next month (eek!), a slightly revamped version of Beautiful Books is back!
You may have a few questions about this.
Do I have to be doing NaNo to participate? Absolutely not! While the general format is suited well to writers doing NaNo, we want this blog link-up to be for everyone! Just pick a work-in-progress and you'll be good to go. Come one, come all!
How does it work? The format is really similar to Beautiful People. Each month, we'll be posting 10 questions, except this time for you to answer about your WIP (or yourself!). You'll take our 10 questions and answer them on your blog, then come back and link up here! And don't forget to go around and read the posts of the other participants--it could be a great way to make friends!
What about Beautiful People? Beautiful People will be back! But for now, show your WIP some love! There’s always the archive if you get the itch to do BP as well.
So... what do I do? Sit tight and read the questions Cait and I will post, then use them to help you think through one of your novels! Then link back, and overall be your awesome self! Also, if you want to share this with your friends, we aren't at all opposed! Making this one big party would be really cool.
