Another Cool Contest To Enter

Win a Sighed Book and Cool Stuff by Clicking Here!!!

Nip on over to this blog for a chance to enter a contest and win a signed book The Body Finder , a tote, a book mark, a sticker, and a bracelet.  I know I like winning free things, especially if they are books.

Just a quick note…

A quick blog before I start my writing day should help the blood start pumping through my fingers…lol  Gotta limber up before I tackle the 10,000+ words I want to get done today/this week hopefully.

I want to finish this manuscript before I start querying agents, mostly because I want to be able to put in my query, “This is the first in a series.  The second has already been written and the third is being written as we speak…”  Or something to the effect, to let them know that, “hey!  I’m serious about this writing thing!  You can totally count on me to give you what you need to make books!”

Also, I wanted to mention a conference that I REALLY WANT TO ATTEND this year!

It’s a little confused because I copy/pasted (I’m starting to think I should have gone with blogger…cuz nothing is compatable with wordpress…)  Anyway…that’s where I WANT to go…unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to.  It’s about $300 and I don’t have that.  Not with the trip I’m taking this summer and with my boss playing games with my hours/money…but that’s a blog for another day.  I’m off to start writing.
