I think I’m inwardly sadistic. Last year I travelled to a city I’d never been to, in order to lock myself in a room whilst people challenged me to various writing tasks for 24 hours straight without sleep. I finished that challenge a tired confused mess, dancing to keep myself awake...

...But I was already dreaming bigger.

What if I could do it for a whole year?

It started on Twitter. Someone said something about wanting to submit to a certain type of publication. Someone else mentioned competitions. Others said ‘I should, I should’ and ‘me too’. Then someone said the D word: Dare. And so the first goals of The Subcommittee were made. Not that we were called that then.

Earlier today we opened our People of NaNoWriMo series with the planners. Now, strolling in at the end of the day…the Pantsers.

Someone once told me that there are two types of writers. Pantsers and Planners.

According to the stereotype, planners have a meticulous understanding about where their story is going to go, they’ve thought out plot points, character arcs, the works.

Pantsers have a vague idea and react to the where the story and the characters takes them.

Today on the blog, you are going to hear from people that might loosely fit into either camp.

Occasionally we will ask emerging writers and their collectives to share with us, what it is they do. From critique circles to small-presses, writing sessions to literary booze-ups, we profile all of the wonderful opportunities for writers to find support networks and platforms for their work. This week it’s Scissors Paper Pen from Canberra.

A Survey of Ways in which Scissors Paper Pen is like The Skywhale.

Each Tuesday, as part of the Book Nooks series, we will ask emerging writers and their collectives to share with us, what it is they do. From critique circles to small-presses, writing sessions to literary booze-ups, we profile all of the wonderful opportunities for writers to find support networks and platforms for their work.

This week, Writers Bloc is doing a bit of self-promotion.
