S2, Episode 2: NaNoWriMo
<p>Today I talk about every writer's favorite (or most dreaded?) month of the year: National Novel Writing Month! Formed by Chris Baty in 1999, National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo) "is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes in the transformational power of creativity. We provide the structure, community, and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page." So much more than just 50,000 words in a month!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow me on social media:</p> <p>*Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/JennaDevillier" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier ✨ (@JennaDevillier) / Twitter</a></p> <p>*Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennadevillierwrites" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier | Facebook</a></p> <p>*Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jennadevillierwrites/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier (@jennadevillierwrites) • Instagram photos and videos</a></p> <p>*Tiktok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jennadevillierwrites?lang=en" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier ✨ (@jennadevillierwrites) TikTok | Watch Jenna DeVillier ✨'s Newest TikTok Videos</a></p> <p>*<a href="https://jennadevillier.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier – YA Fantasy Writer</a></p> <p>Episode 3 will be released on November 16!

S2, Episode 1: PitchWars
<p>Today I talk about the annual writing mentorship contest PitchWars! PitchWars was launched by Brenda Drake in 2012 (boy, was I off with my guess of 2014 in the episode!), and has since grown into the biggest writing contest around. And now that we're in the midst of the waiting period for those who submitted this year, I thought I would talk about what PitchWars is, how to stay sane during the wait, and why, even if you don't get a single request, it's not because you're a bad writer (honest!).</p> <p><br></p> <p>Mentions:</p> <p>*<a href="https://pitchwars.org/">Pitch Wars</a></p> <p>*<a href="https://xiranjayzhao.com/" target="_blank">Xiran Jay Zhao/IRON WIDOW</a></p> <p>*<a href="http://www.rosieethor.com/" target="_blank">Rosiee Thor/TARNISHED ARE THE STARS</a></p> <p>*<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/basic-pitches/id1540910625" target="_blank">Basic Pitches Podcast</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow me on social media:</p> <p>*Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/JennaDevillier" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier ✨ (@JennaDevillier) / Twitter</a></p> <p>*Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennadevillierwrites" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier | Facebook</a></p> <p>*Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jennadevillierwrites/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier (@jennadevillierwrites) • Instagram photos and videos</a></p> <p>*Tiktok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jennadevillierwrites?lang=en">Jenna DeVillier ✨ (@jennadevillierwrites) TikTok | Watch Jenna DeVillier ✨'s Newest TikTok Videos</a></p> <p>*<a href="https://jennadevillier.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenna DeVillier – YA Fantasy Writer</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Episode 2 will be released on October 26!
