Thinking about November 2026
Hey I was thinking about this last night and talking about it with someone who actually runs a platform with an overlap I was asking if he had space to create something new, a new home for writers if you like, but better. Somewhere for people to showcase and participate.
Think there's a gap for it? I wouldnt want him to make the effort and host it and then it collapses.
I was thinking we would need all the features that NaNo had but I wonder if there would be a value in creating something where writers can showcase their work, a good solid profile, some sort of breadth and width which is far more broad and all year round, but with a novel month, a revision month and something else.
I need other writers to think about this with me, bring suggestions and talk about what is vital and what is desirable so I can give this guy all he needs to build it. He's a writer so I think he's keen but he never did NaNo.
Ideas? Names? Names of the platform or the event? Or both?
What do you want? And what do you need?
I'd like to see all my favourite rescources in one place. A bit of NaNo, a bit of Substack, a bit of Scrivener, a bit of Goodreads, more than that though. Maybe a touch of FB style. Maybe some character resources like cards, story arc maps.
