How on earth do aspiring writers learn their craft when it costs so much to have their work edited and appraised? The Writers Critic offers a realistically priced story critiquing service.
"Over the last ten years, I have helped and critiqued the work of many aspiring writers to achieve their personal goals. I can hear you saying now. Well before, I give this person any of my work I need to know a little bit more about him. Although interested in all literary fields I specifically provide a critiquing service to genre writing such as, crime, romance, mysteries, science fiction, horror and fantasy. I limit my business to short stories to medium and full-length novels Writing is truly a wonderful gift from which we all can derive great pleasure and personal fulfilment. I take great pride in being able to help others with their writing and in doing so bring to others the delights of writing craftsmanship. If you feel you, could learn from and work with me, let us get together." (The Writers Critic)

November is national novel writing month
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.
Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.
