@lordmax @authorindiespeak @writingcommunity that's a fair point, although posts could be scheduled well in advance. We thought November would give people a chance to buy books for Christmas.

Presumably many people doing NoNaWriMo will be doing prep work in October? Will they be too worn out in early December?

@juliebozza @authorindiespeak @writingcommunity if you register, we'll email you with updates & details.

Or if you prefer not to register, we'll use the hashtag on all posts about it.
