Recipe for creativity: A crowdsourced picture book
My name is Megan Little, although most Protagonize members will know me as FogCat, a name I affectionately took on nearly two years ago when I signed up on Protagonize. I’ve grown leaps and bounces in my writing in that time; primarily due to all the wonderful practice and the encouragement I’ve received from other writers on Protagonize.
In my non-virtual life, I’m 21 and an undergraduate studying art and writing at a college in New York state. I’m cheerful, extremely enthusiastic, and fast talking. I decided when I was about ten that I wanted to be a writer, after giving up the idea of becoming a botanist because I don’t like science. Somewhere along the way, I realized that I don’t really fit the mold for a writer either, being more of an extrovert than the usual introvert.
New discussion features & 20 Writerly Questions!
Little bit of an update for you folks this evening. I’ve got a few tweaks (not sure if I’d call them features) to the discussions within groups, and a shiny new sponsored group for you all to participate in.
First off, we’ve launched our very first sponsored group this evening, courtesy of Random House of Canada’s BookLounge. I invite you all to check out and join the 20 Writerly Questions group — you’ll be able to read and discuss sets of 20 writer-related questions being posted on a regular basis by the marketing folks over at Random House of Canada. They’ll also be available to answer your questions, so feel free to drop by and chat! Not to mention, by joining the group, you’re also helping support Protagonize. So, what are you waiting for?
There are already three sets of questions up with some notable fiction authors from Random House’s Spring 2010 collection for you all to enjoy, including Lisa See, Beth Powning, and Rabindranath Maharaj, with many more to come. From the group announcement, it looks as though there are some big names coming, down the road…
Note: If you’re a publisher, organization, or individual (or anyone, really) interested in sponsoring a group on Protagonize, please feel free to get in touch with me directly. I’d be happy to fill you in with the necessary details.
