On my Way

Well, yesterday was a productive day overall. I finished the second-edits on Part One of Blink and ended up adding another 800 and some words, finishing at 69500 for the day. Plus, the Colts won the SuperBowl. (Which wasn't productive for me per se, but I was rooting for them, so it's all good.)

Now I have to wade into Part Two, which is the middle-part that needed so much work. I'm dreading it and yet also looking forward to it. The first part is shaping up so well, I can't wait to flesh out the middle and make the book zing. Ya know?

Of course, this weekend, I also jumped into something called "The Great Novel Race", for which I've committed to racing against other authors to finish my next book. Since I'm already committed to finishing it, it wasn't a big stretch for me, but it'll be fun to see how I stack up against other writers (both published and aspiring). So, with this in mind, I'll be putting up a new link list to the other competitors shortly. (And by the time you read this it may already be there. Who knows how fast I'll get my butt in gear today.) The only problem I see here is I'm trying to write #4 while trying to finish #3, and trying to query for #s 1 & 2. Can you say multi-tasking? I knew ya could.

Wish me luck. In a couple weeks, I could be completely batty or I could be well on my way to greatness. Only time will tell.
