Contest
I know there are people who follow that aren't listed here (MY sister for one LOL) so listen up! Editorial Assistan is doing a free critique to the winner of her contest here's the link (I'm not good at this, so let's see if it actually works :P)
http://editorialass.blogspot.com/2010/03/half-million-and-counting.html Idk how to do those nifty links that are other words and you click and voila there's a website. So click on it or copy and paste.
The critique is well worth anyone's while who wants to be published!

yeah I'm writing :)
I got everything that I had to do before 5 accomplished! Now, I'm sitting down and trying to do the writing editing I kept starting yesterday but baby kept interrupting. (He seems to know EXACTLY when I'm needing to be paying extra attention to screen:P)
I've left the house and told them not to expect me back until I'm ready, LOL
Or until my kid who had a fever last night gets worst. He was fever free around 1 pm, so there's hope. *keeping fingers crossed
Laptop was low from using it to check my email while the eldest son was getting a filling. Now its charged enough I think I can safely run windows without a catastrophe :D
Well, goodbye March, hello April and ScriptFrenzy. Stay tuned to see what a crazy mother who also is a good story teller goes through when trying to keep deadlines and goals :)

Missing Pages
So I found some of my missing pages. Still missing the all crucial initial meeting between my hero and heroine. :( oh well, I can continue from here and hope to find them soon...
I will also be participating in script frenzy... Call me crazy, LOL. Winds of fire needs less back story and more dialogue and an ending. How better to do that than turn it into a script to fix those errors. Major problem is the format. I'm not familiar with the format. Even though I have a base story to work from (at least thats my plan, I may change it, like I did for NaNoWriMO) I still have to learn how to do it right.
Mainly, this will give me the writing time I need and get back into the habit. I had good habits going because of NaNoWriMo, but then we moved and I didn't have internet and got stuck on all my stories for lack of easy research.
With our schedule, sick kids and a 17 month old, easy research is a must! lol
I need to get two stories out for a publisher, though, so I may have to use script frenzy for that. Hmmm, so many choices! Well, off to do my rituals that I had before and write, write, write. :D
Have a great day!
PS for an idea of what script frenzy will be like, read over Novembers blogs on After the Beginning!

Internet
How did we ever live before the internet? My life is so much more interesting when I connect with my online friends. Thankfully, I believe I'll be online more now, so will keep people updated.
I'm working on my initial book for the paranormal series which is coming from a short story that I'm making into two novels. I'm trying to write no matter what and I've got papers all over the place with paragraphs and chapters and NOW I CANT FIND THEM LMAO.
I'll find them eventually. In the meantime, grrrrr.
My kindergartner(spelling?) needs to learn how to focus focus focus. He doesn't want to do anything that is "chore" related and spends lots of time avoiding putting his shoes on in the most irritating, annoying manner possible.
My teenagers? Well, the girl has gotten a hundred times better. As for the boy??? I have suggested that all who know and love him say their last goodbyes.
I'm organizing my fabric, putting the costumes together with all their pieces and making lists of everything I need to finish them. It's been fun. I have a canvas board drying to paint. I'm making costume pieces for the play my husband is the lead in and that I got roped into doing. My writing time? Done while rehearsal is running, while waiting at the optomotrist, while sitting in car waiting for husband to get in, etc. But I'm finding it :)
Everyone have a good weekend.

My brother
This month is about over, Thank God. This is the month of my brother Tim's Bday. He would have been 26. The family misses him. On his bday my mom wasn't answering calls. It's the first one since he died. The holidays were hard. I keep putting things away to the back of my mind, but they won't stay there. His lovely daughter, a few weeks older than my son, is beautiful and wonderful to see with her cousins.
She looks to be as fun loving as her father was :D I'll prob lose my regular internet connections soon, so I wanted to say thanks to all those who read my blog. And a big thanks to all of my blogging community. They have been a big help getting through this, even though they didn't know it at the time. I didn't say anything sooner because I needed the "normality" of my friends when I could get on and read.
Writing is keeping me sane. You all are keeping me involved. Tres importante.
Have a great weekend and know that you are all appreciated.

Winds of Fire
So I've updated authonomy. I've reloaded the chapters with the new corrections, plus inserted a new chapter between the old eight and nine as well as adding a new chapter to the end. There are now 12 chapters on authonomy for critiquing and reading. :) it takes a while to do that because you have to save each chapter individually.
The process is kinda like this:
Write.
Edit.
Write.
Someone else edits bits and pieces.
Edit some more.
Write.
Oh yeah, must copy/paste to individual chapters.
Copy. Scream because I hate touch pads on laptops.
Erase old words.
Paste new ones.
Wait until such a time that I can get online and Update.
Read new comments.
Start process over...
I'm getting near the end and I'm excited. I'm also working on my fantasy novel, which you might remember from NaNoWriMo (see other blog :) By the end of March, I will have both finished, approximately, 45k words, and sent of to at least one publisher/agent.
There. I've put it in writing. How's that for making goals :) Now all I have to do is convince my family. Especially the 16 month old. He is sure that 2 am is playtime :D
I guess that's okay. Last night I sent my backups to myself by email. Thank God for Mother-in-Laws! It has been great having the Internet at my beck and call. LOL
In the midst of all the writing, I also need to do the exercises on my favourite blog, edittorent. I wish I knew how to do the damn link thing because I'd link it in a heart beat. Also, there is another blog I follow, Fierce Romance, that has a neat story on it that I'd like to link to. GRRRRRR so much to do and so little time to do it in.
Also, I'm outlining/previsualizing the changes to my paranormal story from one short to two full length novels. I have my work cut out for me :)
