Less than a week to go! So it’s a busy week for me. Please keep an eye out for forum messages and emails confirming participation, and asking for how you’d like to be credited in the book. Oh, and the usual ‘do you do grisly?’ survey!

We’re at 36, which means unless there’s a huge last minute surge there will just be the two books this year, with a few of you appearing twice. 12 more spots I have two completely different books, so let your writing groups know what they are missing out on.

Anyone getting excited yet?

This year’s NiaD might become some sort of trilogy 😆

It’s good to see so many new faces (writers) this year. Glad to see many of last year’s gang ( or mob as it were) as well.

Okay. Trying to determine the best method to get that eye out and keep it out. Do I do grisly? Hmmmm. Let me think.

And so the yarn begins …

“'Twas a dark and stormy night … .”

I know I do purple prose.

I don’t think I could cope with writing about triads so soon after last year’s book on 1950s mafia.

To avoid any risk of over-described clothing after the complete lack of subtlety exhibited by you guys with the suit last year, I hear Piggy is setting this year’s novel in a nudist colony.

“Nice suit” has a whole new meaning.

This is a good warm up for the nano month in November, this is far more fun for anyone thinking of signing up, there is a real sense of achieving something as a group, all putting our individual style on a book, and if you look at the ones done already it seems to work really well, so join up lets get that trilogy going. 😆

Erm Piggy are you okay, did I hear a huge grunt ❓

Hugs your brilliant organising this 😃
