Hi, everyone! This blog exists mostly so I can post on the blogs of livejournal friends.

You can find my blog here and its livejournal syndication here.

Thanks for visiting!

a good weekend

I got off to a good start on the Fast Draft Express, writing 6,685 words this weekend. I hope to keep chuggin' along this week.

It is so difficult not to edit, though. Don't look back, don't look back!

6686/50000

Off to the races. I have a lot of pumping to do, if I want to catch up with that train!

I'm the Handcar

Since I'm joining in the Fast Draft Express a week late and will be bringing up the rear, there's no other car to represent me but the lowly Handcar. Yep, I'll be the one pumping frantically behind the train. I hope the exercise will be good for me.

In any case, here's my plan:

Start Date: Friday, April 6
End Date: May 5

Weekly word count: 13, 000

Project: The Flowers of Evil--A Young Adult novel that's been hanging about my brain for awhile.

Reward: Hmmm...To color my hair for the first time. This is a big step as the grays are creeping in steadily. Once I begin to color my hair, it's going to have to be a habit. I'm torn as to whether or not to go red or darker.

Plans leading up to Friday: Befriend all the participants so I can catch up. Put up my ticker and word count thingie. Is anyone posting excerpts or problems?

I do have a big question for participants/writers. I really, really want to write this novel as 3rd person. But, there's a lot of talk lately about YA being 1st person only. What do you all think?

Thanks to
