INKDrop:

A dangerous INKDrop today! What's going on in your bedroom that ends up in your writing? Do you create characters with essentially the same bedroom mannerisms as you, or do you let them do things you've only read about on the internet? Today let's live dangerously and have our characters be a bit more free than we might be ready to grant ourselves.

Connect:
Join Second Life (it's free) and check out the INKsters group there for more virtual inspiration and literary camaraderie. NaNoWriMo is here! Go sign up and catch up! (It's free, except it will take your soul).

Competition idea: Grab a literate friend or two, agree on the topic today, and write. Maybe 1000 characters (fits in your cell phone notepad), or 500 words (our gold standard), or longer. Then share your work with somebody and ask them to select their favorite effort from today. You might be surprised how much you love winning (or hate losing).

And stop by our old home page and see if we've managed to catch up.
