Exercises in NaNoWriMo

jp — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:37:03 +0000

Solidarity, brothers and sisters!

Over the course of November, many aspiring writers, and current writers who want to flex their authorial muscles, will be taking part in National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. Their shared target is to write 50,000 words in thirty days, in the hope of having the bulk of a serviceable, editable novel by the end of it.

In with the old!

Think of it more like recycling than rehashing

While I work on new content, I've decided to bring older work into QlL, that for some reason never appeared here at the time. So the more dedicated readers might spot some apparently new bits and pieces appearing that they recognise. It'll tide you over till I pull my finger out, anyway.

We've moved, but you should still see us

QlL has recently moved to a new server. We've been chasing a few missing images and other broken links, and we think we've got all but a handful of glitches ironed out. Please let us know if you see anything broken.

If you're interested in having a free print copy of the twenty-five exercises (plus four bonus ones) then you can still order a copy until Saturday 20 December and it should arrive before Christmas.

QlL announces: Exercises in Song

admin — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:29:36 +0000

The third Pocketful of Lies is announced, in detail

Imagine singing the same song, ninety-nine different ways. Taking a popular English folk song and rewriting it so that it exemplifies the style "Metaphorically", or so that it resembles an official complaint letter, or so that groups of letters are rearranged by mathematical formula.

QlL on LiveJournal

That's all, really.

Thanks to LJ user j4, QlL now has a presence on LiveJournal. Those of you who are reading this on LiveJournal will already know that; those of you who don't probably won't care.It's therefore not at all clear why we're even telling you this, apart from to say to our recent crop of new readers: hello!

QlL blog

Well, of course we've got a blog. About time too.

QlL has finally crawled into the twenty-first century with its own blog. Everyone's got one these days, of course, so there's nothing to be particularly excited there. But it'll give us a chance to air some less formal breeze-shooting, rather than always resorting to a piece of, well, art, we suppose.
