And here we are, at the end of the year! December is here, and NaNoWriMo is behind us. I hope everyone participating was able to hit their targets – even if it wasn’t the 50,000 words. Any word written is one more than you had before!
There isn’t much news for the guild at the moment, though I certainly hope to start bring out a few of the updates and changes we have planned in 2024. Feedback will soon be requested over initiatives such as Oxfurred Comma, the book bundles, and the possibility of opening up to guest blogs.
I look back on the last few years as being president of the FWG and I am certainly satisfied with the progress made, but there is still a long way to go before the work is done! I hope next year will take another few big steps forward.
