Protection! Postmarked...a lot.
Oh, yeah. Believe me. I've mailed that book to myself so many times, certified for a poor man's copyright....it's fiendish. We're covered. Thanks.

Does anyone know any good places to upload stories where people can read them and give feedback? The only one I know of is fictionpress, and it seems pretty slow most of the time. It's really a shame, because I've got all this gay erotica and no one to read it.

forum for writers
Actually, I just found this pretty great, very safe forum for writers. http://www.novelmaker.com/?s=881498114e502fcfb0df31f82fd91d56 It's called Novermaker.com, obviously, and it's a pretty non-b.s. site. A lot of interesting books in there, as well. Check it out, and see what you think!

hey, congrats on the novel writing the teacher for my writing class a few years ago recommended us to do it, but with uni exams in november every year i've just never had the time maybe i'll just do it in december...

writing stuff
Yeah, the main point of NNM (Nat'l Novel writing month) or any writing project is just to get stuff down on paper - or inter-paper - and see how much you can really do, character and story wise, regardless of plot, planning etc. Thanks for the congrats, btw... I love to write. I still have to do some reviews for this site... I just haven't made the time in the past few weeks. I hope to change that this spring!
