| THE DISRESPONSIBLE NODPOTS |
| NEWS |
| monthly POLL |
| YES |
| Poetical, philosopical, enigmatic - a Disresponsible Nodpot never gives into Failurism and always aims to displease! Marvin |
| WHAT'S HOT-POT 1. Broadband. The internet is a wonderful tool for writers. It is a great resource for research and also a fast way to submit to publishers and hear back from agents, so there is nothing worse than a slow dial up connection that tries the patience of the most saintly Nodpot. Broadband's quick speeds make research all the easier. |
| WHAT'S NOT-POT 1. Snail mail. The heyday of the efficient post office has passed, and the long delays on hearing back from agents and publishers using snail mail is enough to have even the most hardy Nodpot pull out its hair. |
| Answers to June Poll In June we wanted to know whether you think Not Pots (that is, non Disresponsible Nodpots) should ever be allowed to attend DN meetings. The result was quite definite. Yes: 20% No: 80% A big thank you to Valerie, for suggesting last months poll. Check out the bottom of the page for this months question and remember, if you have an idea for a future poll, please email Marvin with your suggestions. |
| ATTENTION ALL NODPOTS: Marvin is looking for help in the what's Hot-Pot and What's Not-Pot section of this site, as well as ideas for forthcoming polls. If you have any ideas, contact Marvin and let him know! |
| 25th April 2006. Mungo posted his submission package to Curtis Brown literary agents. Good luck, Mungo, and we hope you hear back within 6 - 8 weeks! |
| ATTENTION ALL NODPOTS: 2nd May 2006. It has come to Marvin's attention that there hasn't been a meeting for some time. Could all the Nodpots please contact him and let him know when they would like the next meeting to take place. |
| 28th April 2006. Valerie has finished her final draft of her book.Well done Valerie and best of luck in finding an agent. All the Nodpots are rooting for you! |
| 7th May 2006. Second Nodpot meeting of 2006 took place in Carlito's Restaurant in Dunleer on Sunday night. A great night was had by all, and very good reports are coming in from all Nodpots about thier writing. 2006 is turning out to be a good year for us all! |
| NO |
| Thank you to October, who came up with the idea for this months poll. Thank you to all the other Nod Pots who sent in suggestions for future polls. Check back each month to see if your idea was picked! |
| 6th June 2006. A very sad day for the Nodpots. Our mascot, and a member from the very first meeting, Muffin, passed away this morning at 10.50am. |
| 29th May 2006. Mungo heard back from the agents that he sent his book to. Unfortunately, they aren't going to represent him. Don't lose heart Mungo! Keep on sending it out, you'll get there eventually. |
| 25th June 2006. Iseult started her own blog today. Check it out here. When will Valerie join the other Nodpots online? |
| 1st July 2006. July is a special month for the Nodpots because it is on the 27th that we celebrate our ninth anniversary. The date for the meeting still has to be decided. If you have any ideas on what would be a fun way to celebrate 9 years of disresponsibility, email Marvin. |
