I may come to regret it, but I've made a good start. Good luck with your goal.Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-14632774737974564022013-05-05T10:51:02.406+00:002013-05-05T10:51:02.406+00:00Hi Leah, Climb aboard, the #15kinmay has left the...Hi Leah, Climb aboard, the #15kinmay has left the station, and is rattling down the tracks at an alarming speed.<br /><br /><br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-74219003821706766022013-05-05T10:49:16.324+00:002013-05-05T10:49:16.324+00:00If only drinking was an option...I have a sulphite...If only drinking was an option...I have a sulphite allergy, so will have to make do with chocolate.<br /><br />Yes, agree editing is a different kettle of fish altogether, I personally find it far more difficult than first draft, however, I didn't realise that until I had completed one, and attempted to edit it!<br /><br />Good luck lady, you'll need it... ;-) I'm right behind you now.<br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-47116106950146538772013-05-05T10:46:33.374+00:002013-05-05T10:46:33.374+00:00Hi Jai, I write late into the small hours, but I&#...Hi Jai, I write late into the small hours, but I'm thinking of getting up at the ungodly hour of 5.30am and doing an hour before the day job madness! ;-) <br /><br />Means I'll probably be done for by 10pm though, and not sure i can cope with that...we'll see.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-6013950704687566472013-05-05T10:44:56.559+00:002013-05-05T10:44:56.559+00:00Hi Kate, yes we are all totally crazy, people who ...Hi Kate, yes we are all totally crazy, people who don't write don't get it... ;-) It was however, a good lesson in discipline wasn't it? <br /> <br />Ziekiel won't feature in this WIP, he is in my second novel, I'm working on my third for this project, because I think it stands a better chance of getting to a stage where I can submit it. That said, i am a total butterfly, and who knows, if its going well I may flutter across to that story.<br /><br /><br /><br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-64390089702957589932013-05-05T10:40:04.240+00:002013-05-05T10:40:04.240+00:00You will, once my feet touch the ground after this...You will, once my feet touch the ground after this VERY busy week spent at the day job...feeling very tired, but enthusiastic!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-54811761407760733652013-05-01T18:58:00.954+00:002013-05-01T18:58:00.954+00:00Ooooh, awesome sauce.

Would you mi...Ooooh, awesome sauce. Great idea. ^_^<br />Would you mind terribly if I joined you? Not so much with a novel, but I have a ream of short stories and flash I want to get written and 500ish words a day is totally doable, even with things as they are at the moment. I'd love to be part of the challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-30123917842724321652013-05-01T18:56:29.374+00:002013-05-01T18:56:29.374+00:00Really!

I'd say good luck but I'm competitive and I'm going to WIN.. tee hee.. what have you unleashed.. Really though.. good luck.. I know I'll need it! We need to explain that it's 15k of words from editing really, which is MUCH harder than just 15k.. just saying.. saying to many justs.. am I telling more than showing.. see what I mean..<br />Here's to us!

Wow and now starting up a new challenge, crazy ;)<br /><br />Actually if you have a WIP then breaking it down like that does sound more manageable.<br /><br />Good luck with your challenge! Is it the WIP that involves that nasty Ziekiel? I enjoyed reading thatyesterday, looks to be a very promising read :) I will look forward to hearing about your progress...Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352923647954339788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144576325328779987.post-173816647845116322013-05-01T08:54:49.223+00:002013-05-01T08:54:49.223+00:00Welcome to Crazy Club, Maria!
