2017 KUROFAI OLYMPICS - Writers Check-Ins

[flowerspeaks]

Hello all our lovely writers! I hope you have been working hard and studiously on your individual stories!
Since it has been about one week since the start of the writing portion I wanted to do a quick check-in with all the participants. Just wanted to make sure you are all on track and to learn exactly where you all are in the writing process so we can make adjustments if need be.

Also if any of our writers needs any help in the form of research, brain storming or proof-reading just let us know; we mods will take care of the coaching! We are here to help you if need it so please reach out to us!

So on this post comment to let us know if you are still participating, are expected to be ready by our posting week and if you need any coaching assistance! I will do another check-in by the end of next week as well.

I won't be sure about how much I've done/have left to do until Sunday. I'm more write-first, research-second, and I haven't even gotten to the research stage yet.

That said, if anybody knows anything about (or are willing to direct me to helpful sources regarding) Montreal in the 1980s (specifically a layout of the city and the lingo of the time) or gangs/mobs from the same time period, I'd be grateful!

Here's some lingo for you: https://www.scribd.com/doc/16522367/Canadian-Slang

And this here is the closest I've found to the age you are looking for, however it's 1959: http://www.imtl.org/image/cartes/stmpaa1939_FULL.jpg

Thanks! The slang guide has been super helpful so far! And I'll definitely be needing that map when I start planning locations!!!

I'm glad it has been useful. All the best to you

I shared a link in an above comment with resources about useful search engines but I'm afraid that's the best I can do for today. Best of luck!
