Hi all , things are progressing nicely behind the scenes but we are keen everyone who joins this mini network contributes.

So there are several ways to do this (BTW everyone is as default at ‘contributor’ level)

POST broadcast- A nice thoughtfully crafted blog post. Simply use the wordpress dashboard as normal to add your thoughts, longer responses even seeds of ideas etc: complete with embeds, uploads. Also REALLY happy in the early days with cross posts (ones you have done on your existing site and want more exposure too or it is just really good advice for everyone to learn from!)
DISCUSS 2way- The storylabers group (of which we are all members) has a forum and is a good place to chat about all things ‘new story’ – again anything goes, but the mentors will kick off some topics soon too
RATE – You know the score here, simply do a lot of ‘liking’ and encourage us all
STATUS – Just pop in and tell us what your up to
PROFILE – it is great to see so many who have filled in their profile, so check others out and start one to one discussions too
During Sept this network will become much more active.

The official lab process involves behind the scene submissions which mentors will be assigning themselves too and preparing for labs BUT we are keen that projects in very early stages may have begun with ideas posted openly or worked through on the forum.

Also we are always looking for mentors and keen to see this network as a pool of talented folk who demonstrate their prowess through the posts.
