Black Moment

My news isn't all that exciting -- no finished first draft nor sale -- but I'm just entering the "Black Moment" and it's going to be a doozy!

OMG! SOLD SOLD SOLD!!!!

To Kensington. Details at http://manuscriptmavens.blogspot.com/.

Okay...

I did it! I got the little story finished today:



Yay. I'm really excited to have met my self-imposed deadline. I'm really tough on myself, but it feels so good when I can meet it. :)

So, another first draft is done. And hello to a new one next week.

Have an awesome weekend!

Moved forward

I'm now up to:



I stopped when my heroine was heading into a very sticky situation. Yikes! Wouldn't want to be her at the moment. Will the hero save the day? ;)

Fingers crossed for getting it finished by tomorrow. It sure would be a nice way to end the week.

Just because I wanted to...

I started a new story. It's going to be a short story, but I really got into the groove of it today. I wrote the first 600 words last night, just to see if it worked and yeah, I like it so far.

Here's my progress bar at the end of today's session:



Happy writing!

Blogging from Banff

Yep...I'm finally getting my long-awaited honeymoon! We're here in Banff, Canada. I came with my husband for the ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest) World Finals. Lucky for me, he's been busy for a few hours each day...so we've got to hang out, sightsee, and mix business with pleasure.

I've done a bit of writing...not as much as I had hoped. Although tomorrow promises to be a "husband-free" day, as it's the big contest day. I had a rewrite request for one of my stories, so I got that done and resubmitted this morning. Then, I launced into Phone Calls from the Dead. Here's my current word count, but it comprises several days of writing. I'm hoping to finish the first draft by the end of this week.
