Yes, well, ha hmmmm.....

Did I say that I was going to do 7K in my BIAW quest?

I am gripping my sides from laughing. I seriously thought that was doable after me be feeling flattened by the 50K?!!!! So you guessed it - I didn't reach 7K but 3,593 words. So at least half way. So that's good. I'm looking at it as the glass being half full rather than half empty. You know it being the Month of Positivism and all. *g*

On other news, I have accepted the role as Deputy Editor with the Romance Writers of Australia's journal Hearts Talk. A great team have assembled and am looking to working with them under the guidance of our Editor, the fabulous Rachel Robinson. If you don't know about RWAus, you can visit the website.

Yia!

More Challenges and Bootcampers

After the success of the 50K challenge, I've joined up to two more challenges run by the same ladies.

1. Page a Day Challenge - my aim is to write or edit a page a day
2. From Start To Published Challenge - which from 1 November, we have a year to write, edit and submit a book. I'm going to work on a manuscript called 'Beyond World' which has been in my head for a long, long time! It needs it's day in the sun and it's long overdue - it's suffering from Vitamin D deficiency.

I'm also doing a BIAW challenge with the Bootcampers. My aim: 7K. So far - zilch. *sigh*

And of course, it's the Month of Positivism at the Bootcamper blog. So far I've managed the two weeks of tasks.

• I cleared my desk, cleaned and started to put what I needed back onto it. I wont tell you about the things that haven't made it's way to my desk yet. Let's just say I have a huge pile to get though.
• I've done a number of tasks that I had put off doing and you know what, I've continued doing that this week too - made and gone to appointments, ironing, visiting old friends, contacting others, on so forth.
• Now to think of the book that made me *want* to write or *decide* to write - this week's task.
  

Don't forget you are all welcome to join in the tasks if you like. Just visit the Bootcamper blog.

I've taken it easy the last week. I've needed it to recover!!
