Writing

 

Hi everyone.  Michelle has invited me to post something here while she’s away on vacation.  Apparently, internet access is a bit sporadic where she’s going so she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to post every day. She’s a bit overwhelmed too, I think.  I know I’ve been really busy.  Bit off more than I could chew.  Know what I mean?  Have you ever done that?

 

I’m sure most of you are familiar with NANORIMO.  Well I tried to write a novel in 30 days; a 50,000 word novel, mind you.  Didn’t happen.  But I do have nearly 24k of my new novel done in rough draft, of course.  At the same time I was working on the novel, I had the bright idea to take on a six weeks writing class too.  If it had just been any old writing course I might have made both.  But it wasn’t.  It was spectacular.  Any of you read Lori Wilde’s work? (check it out at http://www.loriwilde.com ) Take my word for it she’s good at writing and teaching it.  But…I couldn’t get a grip on my novel because there were so many things I saw while taking the course that was just wrong.  You know what I mean.  WRONG.

 

I’ve finished the class, passed it by the way.  Now it’s on to my WIP to completion.  She dared me to finish it.  And, I WILL.  I might add – Michelle brainstormed with me on this WIP, along with fellow Author Kerri Augusto (http://www.kerriaugusto.com ).  They were a tremendous help, but it’s still up to me to get it out of my head onto my computer screen.  Michelle managed to write 1500 words a day.  That’s how she finished her last rush job.  I think I even saw on here where she did 4000 words in one day.

 

My first attempt at writing is available on my site.  FREE.  It’s a promotion to launch my website.  If you have time, you might check it out, http://www.leegoshabyn.com.  The name of the e-book is Landmark Day.  It’s only 30 pages.  Check out the review from Coffee Time Romance while you’re there.

 

So now I’m off to put my money where my mouth is and get cracking on my WIP, but I want to thank Michelle for the invitation to blog today before I go.
