We're a fun group. Fictionistas is where I made all my early Substack connections! It's a great place to be when you're starting out.

Hey Meg, I'm going to schedule the next office hours for October 30 as well (one day earlier), and as a part of it, I will put in a reminder regarding the virtual meetup. That way everything will be synced in harmony, executing perfectly our ghoulish plan of eating everyone's brains... uh, I mean, our plan of having the largest participation.

While I'm not new to writing fiction (30+ years of professional writing and over 30 books) I am fairly new to Substack, having moved my readers' newsletter from MailerLite about 4-5 months ago so this virtual meetup sounds intriguing.

As for NaNoWriMo, yes plenty to talk about there. I'll be participating for my 11th time and this time also as a Write On Purpose Coach, helping to keep my fellow authors inspired and in action (and in that way, me as well). I've released a few short videos on how to win at NaNoWriMo beyond the 50K word count.

Two of them are at: https://youtu.be/paT-RFt2Q8g?si=kDM9xf5yosMnuOzX and https://youtu.be/hAjoCOl8xio?si=yqKNeNArzyoaIzWC. (Several others I'll be sharing through my Substack at https://wbradfordswift.substack.com/. I'll see if I can arrange my schedule to be in the Google Meetup tonight, and will share this with my newsletter subscribers.

Was hoping to attend this one but I’m double-booked with soccer. Next time.

Soccer? I just met her?

Sorry. Forgot where I was for a second. 😏

I thoroughly enjoyed last night's Google Meet and meeting many other Substack fiction authors. I look forward to future meetings as well. Now, onward to my final day of prep for NaNoWriMo as an author (my 11th time) as a Write On Purpose Coach (1st NaNoWriMo with that hat on).
