Write A Novel With Cupid!!! (#WanWc)

NEW UPDATE on applying: I have chosen my two YA writers from my #PitchWars folder. Now I'm looking for a MG writer, an adult writer, and one more YA writer. And I need a guy! Which means we might get up to six. And then we'll need a new name. That's okay! BE ON TWITTER @ NOON ON DEC. 1ST! Doing a little CLC quiz to find the rest of my team! Be there!!!! 

Since I did so terrible with NaNo (I still blame the month of November, no matter how pitiful that sounds), I decided I needed to find a new time to get my next WIP going and finished. And fairly quickly. Cause that's how I like to work, anyway. I figured I'd do better if this was something public, with participants, just like NaNo.

So, good news! You guys can (and should) do it with me! But there is a little added bonus for a few writers. Five to be exact. 

While all can participate and give updates on their progress, I'm choosing 5 writers that we'll focus on for updates/progress/cheerleading. Of course this will be done on the blog and the Twitter hashtag #WanWc. It'll be like a little Cupid writing team--Cupid and the Ferocious Five. (That's not too cheesy right? Oh well, cheesy is okay.)

The first draft will be written during December and January (I chose two months since we have the holidays). Then we'll work together to build a strict schedule for our revising/editing/polishing. We're not just writing a first draft here. We're gonna work together until those babies are shiny!

So how do you become one of the Ferocious Five? 

Well, I'd love to choose 2 or 3 from my Cupid PitchWars Inbox. But not all, because I want more than just YA genres. I'd love to have a MG author, an Adult author, and it would be cool to have at least one male author. 

BUT I haven't yet decided how I will choose my Ferocious Five. Ugh! Stay posted.

Update: If you submitted to me for pitch wars, email me or tweet me TODAY (30th) and let me know you are interested in one of the WanWc slots! I will choose those slots TONIGHT! 

Should you apply for the Ferocious Five? 

First, you must be an un-agented writer. 

But also keep in mind:

How quickly do you like to write a novel? If you like to punch it out in two weeks, you might not be best for this schedule. Or if you like to take a couple years to get one done, you might want to reconsider taking part. But if the two months for first draft, and then a few months for revising sounds like it's your kind of speed, please apply! 

Also, this MUST be a brand NEW wip! You must be starting a first draft at 0 words! Now, if you're like me, you have your sorry little NaNo project sitting there with several thousand words, but nowhere near 50K. This is not for those projects. Like me, you'll have to work on those separately. Also, if you just finished your NaNo first draft and you'd rather spend your time revising that wip, you may want to reconsider applying. But maybe you didn't get a chance to do/finish NaNo and would love another chance to start fresh now. Please apply!

All MG, YA, and adult genres are invited to apply!

Questions below! But remember, I haven't announced how to apply yet. :)
