The whole ‘Anakin <> Vader’ is weird. Palpatine is Sidious. Dooku is Tyrranus. Just because he had to wear a life support suit, doesn’t separate Anakin from Vader.

Congrats!

Robert Ludlum was told that years ago, so he had some of his books published under a different name. I wonder if early on, that’s also why King used different names?

Many (most?) of the regional groups have opted to go it alone, separately from the organisation. I’m a member of the Glasgow & West of Scotland group which is pretty much active throughout the year, and I believe Edinburgh is the only region to have ML’s want to remain part of the org.

Can you add me please?

Deleted it earlier in the year after thr Municipal Liaison fiasco, when my region jumped ship. It was a horrible site, the last time I’d updated it was 2012

The Scottish group I’m a member of split. I believe every Scottish group save for the Edinburgh one has split from NaNo.

They’re also defending their sponsorships from and affiliations with predatory companies/people looking to take advantage of writers. Vanity presses etc.

Not sure who’s actually still doong NaNo - many/most of the regions have broken away to be independent. I believe Edinburgh is the only region in Scotland to remain affiliated with them
