Romance Divas' Mentor Program update
Since many of us complained that we would be too busy with NaNo Challenge and other things (like Yule shopping) to start the Romance Divas' Mentor Program on November 1, Jax has accepted to move it to mid-January. Those of you who are still interested in participating in this wonderful program either as a mentor (btw, we need mentors!!!) or understudy, you can sign up by going logging to Romance Divas' Forum and create an account. *wg* So what are you waiting for? |
Comments on "Romance Divas' Mentor Program update"
I'm glad it's being moved, I know you'll be busy at the beginning, but I was really sweating over it. I wanted to participate and knew I couldn't right now. I'm really bad at saying no though.
Maybe, if it starts in Mid-January, whoever you get pared with you can ease into it for the first few weeks. Seems like that first week would be a learning week anyway.
Teresa - I want to participate too. I did last time, and even though Briana and I didn't have much contact (that was all my fault), I learned a lot from her. Some of her tips have become very helpful.
However, the problem is that I'll be busy for the last two weeks of January registering. And I don't want to get into a slow start like I did the first time 'coz I know it won't do me any good - like it happened the first time. I become sloppy and lazy and then I quit.
Silma, best of luck in Nano Challenge! As for Mentor program, are you going to be a mentor?
I tried signing up on the RD's list, but I've never heard from them. Is that normal?
Olga - Thanks! I'm going to need all the luck to get me through a month of nerve-wrecking emotions.
As for RD's Mentor/Understudy program, I'm going for the Apprentice position (again) since I'm not that experienced in writing. Although I'm not confident in my abilities to guide someone else in the path of writing, I offered to be a mentor only if it's for a newbie-beginner.
Jordan - I checked the RD's member list, and you're in. All you have to do is go to the forum's main page and log in.
I'm glad Jax moved the program to January, too. I volunteered, but I really felt pressed for time in November and December.
Jordan - your registration e-mail from Romance Divas probably got sent to your spam folder. This happens from time to time.
Mentoring is very rewarding, and Silma, I bet you know more than you think you do. I mentor a group of about seven writers and have done for most of the year. I worried that I didn't know anything, but I think I'm doing okay. They haven't booted me off the yahoo loop at any rate!
Thanks Silma! No one told me.
Shelley - I've been teaching for almost 20 years, so I know how rewarding teaching is. But as a teacher, I know how important is to be prepared. I don't know how able I am to be a mentor.
Jordan - If you have any problems to get in Romance Divas, let me know so I can contact Jax and help you, ok?
