Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
I must admit there's less going on here at 50+ than in previous years but I still stop by here and check the reference forum and my regional forum. Seems to be less going on between Novembers than in other years. I'm thinking it might be a result of all the other months' of activities such as Camp.
Re: Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
I think a lot of people are unhappy about some of the changes that make it less interesting to be here. No sigs. Having to scroll through the whole list of forums. It's just not as pleasant an experience as it used to be.
As for other forums, I'm too busy writing, editing, and blogging to bother. I've signed up on a few and then dropped them because they're weren't particularly interesting. About the only one I check regularly is the Smashwords forum. But that isn't about writing; it's about formatting, marketing, etc., for Smashwords authors. I read a lot of writing blogs, and comment on quite a few, so that pretty much takes the place of forums, for me.
Re: Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
Ref Desk, Writing Clubs, and Off Topic mostly.

The same forums I visit during NaNoWriMo. Plus those that appear at the end of the year.
They include:
"The Year of Doing Big, Fun, Scary Things Together"
"Life After NaNoWriMo"
"Camp NaNoWriMo"
"Reference Desk"
"Plot Doctoring"
"Reaching 50,000"
"All-Ages Coffee House"
"NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul"
"This is Going Better Than I Hoped"
"NaNo Technology"
"Fantasy"
"Science Fiction"
"Age Group: 50+"
"Off Topic"
"NaNo Rebels"
Plus some forays into other areas, though those are infrequent.
Re: Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
Reference Desk, Plot Doctoring, sometimes Writing 101 unless I'm pressed for time, a few of the genres that fit my stories, and this one.
Re: Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
Sounds like I might want to look in on Reference Desk.
I've been monitoring:
Novel Draft After Care
Life After NaNoWriMo
Age group 50+
Ann Arbor local forum
The last is always empty, but I check it just in case. sigh. I'd hoped to get a critique group going, but the folks who were talking about it during November have all disappeared.
Forums
I'm heavily entrenched in YouTube at this point.

Re: Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
I tend to spend a lot of my time in the BFS forum. Either that or the procrastination/games forum. I wish I could say I was too busy to visit the forums, but I must shamefacedly confess that I haven't touched my Nano since Nov. 30.
Re: Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
I check in here from time to time but it's a lot less entertaining, informative, and fun than it has been in previous years.
Re: Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
Yeah, I've noticed that, too, this year.
Re: Which forums do you visit between NaNos?
Maybe we're all being very good and are too busy writing to comment here. You think? Nah -- not in my case, anyhow. I'm working against Unmotivation -- and so far I'm losing the battle!
