New to LJ, but definately not new to writing.

So in my expedition of writing I figured that a blog for my work would be the best place to get advice, constructive criticism and hype. I'm definately not the first, and from what I've read so far in this community I'm undoubtedly impressed! Such a plethora of styles, subject and execution. I know I can learn alot just by watching other people, and so plan on sticking around. Unless ya wanna get rid of me, then I can't do much then. Heh.

I'm looking forward to talking to you all, and swapping stories. I've been in a horrible slump for the past few months, and so haven't even added to my novel which is why I'm here and surrounding myself with you lovely, talented people. Please feel free to read through my blog, and leave a comment because I really need to know what other people think of it.

On a different note, does anyone have any good writing activities that could jolt my brain back in to action?

Word wars! I usually manage to find my way here (http://www.tinychat.com/vjp2m) on the weekdays (about 9.30am EST-12.30pm EST) for word wars. They've Really been helping.

(If you watch toonowrimo for an announcement, someone usually puts one up at different times too.)

Nya! Hi again! *waves*

I certainly recommend the novel in a year book. I've found the exercises really helpful, and it's great to hear about things from the point of view of a published author. It's written in a very honest and down-to-earth sort of way too, so I love it.
