Hi all… I hope everyone is doing well with their writing.
I’ve had a long week. We finished roofing, painting and moving last weekend; closed on the house Thursday; looked at ten new ones on Friday; put an offer in on one we really liked; and are now patiently (haha) waiting for their response.
I did do some writing amongst all this. I was able to finish editing my 30 pages of In Her Wildest Dreams and got those and the synopsis sent off for the Maggie contest. Yah!!! Haven’t had a chance to do much after that though.
Hey! I thought that I entered your contest 2 weeks ago, and I think the Internet ate my comment. (It probably wasn’t that spectacular anyway) Congrats on your work this week–I wrote 24 pages, scrapped them, created 31 new pages from last years entry, and finally submitted that. Still have no hopes of being a finalist this year 🙁 — but I should have more time to devote to writing. Maybe I’ll start on 2009’s entry for my finish the book challenge–did I mention that? Shouldn’t I get started on that?
Taking procrastination to a whole new level, Sally
Well, I finished the first 30 pages of my novel, sent them off to you for the Maggies, and wrote another 1000 words – getting closer to the finish line. Still a ways to go but not so bad 🙂
Great job on writing for both of you. This is quite a bit of writing. I take my hat off to both of you. Every word is one step closer to the finished product.
I love the comment about working on 2009’s finish the book contest. Sometimes I feel the same way, so don’t feel bad about voicing it. It’s actually more realistic that you might think!!!
I guess I forgot to report in for May, didn’t I. 30 pgs or 6349 words. A large chunk of time was spent on getting those contest entries ready and writing synopses which can be a real time-suck.
7 contests entered this year, one win (Yay!) so far, and one lost my entry. 🙁

Hey Sally and Angela,

Keep it up everyone!!!
