I've done it. It's my first time, so I'm not quite sure how I'll manage - seeing as though, less than 2 years into my blog, I don't have a schedule for posting and tend to just do a random splurge of thoughts whenever I want. I'm really looking forward to it, and to discovering lots of new blogs and bloggers!
In other news: I survived January! It helped that I was able to distract myself by planning a birthday meal for my mum, which we all enjoyed last night, even though the table was booked absurdly early because it was a school night, and we were the only people in quite a large pub. We were having so much fun, we didn't even notice that until we left!
I'm awaiting the final edits for Cat and the Dreamer, and seeing the cover for the first time. I've pretty much finished a trilogy of novellas, which I'm hoping will be ready for submission in a couple of weeks - it only really needs a last read-through for those silly mistakes that always creep in. I'm still hoping I can make one of the stories longer as it's come in at under 10,000 words.
And, finally, I've retrieved the folder with my novel inside from the bottom of a pile to the top of it, in the hope that I'll feel inspired to read it soon - and therefore be inspired to have a good redraft with my trusty red pen.
Happy February!
Yep signed up too, so I will being going abc along with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSigned up and ready to go! That's exciting about the novellas :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic about the challenge! And yes, I'm so glad to be getting the writing vibe back on!
DeleteI didn't sign up, maybe next year. I don't know if I could do it! It'll be fun to check out other people's this year. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year I've known about it. I'm jumping in with two feet...Perhaps I didn't think it through properly lol
DeleteHope your stuff is ready for submission! Thanks for plugging the Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how much plugging I'm doing, seeing as though most of my followers have come from your Insecure Writers group - they should already know all about it!
DeleteI'm not doing this one myself - I'll be checking up on you though!
ReplyDeleteHave you done it before Patsy?
DeleteI'll be doing the A to Z Challenge for the second time. I've even planned my A to Z list, but haven't actually written the posts or taken photos. (Ah - there's a clue.) Looking forward to reading yours :)
ReplyDeleteI'm planning my list at the moment, but I'm stuck on V and X - I might have to cheat. Hmm, photos... I'm intrigued!
DeleteI'm doing the challenge for the first time - I've had to resist the urge to just post a song every day :-)
ReplyDeleteBut that would be so perfect for you. There HAS to be a song element, surely?
DeleteYeah for surviving January! I'm not planning on doing the A-Z but I am looking forward to what other come up with ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be hard to keep up with blog-visiting, there are already so many entrants!
DeleteJanuary went by so fast! I feel like I was really productive and off to a good start. Listen - last year I was on a jury for 10 days during April, and I did the challenge - so you can do it!! I plan to keep mine shorter this year and to try to keep them lighter too.
ReplyDeleteWow - good going on last year's challenge. I hope it's easier for you this year.
