Yep, we’re at it again. way back in the summer Alison Kent started the 70 days of sweatphenomenon. I joined in because I love a good challenge and aimed for 70-90k within those 70 sweat filled days. I made 70k on several different projects. It really helped my writing and focused me in on being an author -it helped me write more and procrastinate less.
And now it’s back.
It’s been going for just over a week and I’ve done really well. 10,613 words down and I’ve had a few no-write days. I know there’s a long way to go before I’ll finish, but I know I’m going to enjoy this challenge as much as I did the last one.
Anyone else who’s sweating, let me know. I’d love to keep up with other mad, I mean talented authors who are taking on the challenge.
And talking of challenges, I’m now gearing up for this Years NaNoWriMo because I got some great news today about last years effort. Today “Making it Real” was accepted by Phaze for publication next year. This is my first NaNo to actually go on to be published, the other three still nestle on my hard drive though one of them is waiting on a decision from a publisher on it.
So I’m doing the happy authoress dance today -go me!

Yes, folks for today I celebrate 7 years of married bliss with my husband. 7 years, honestly, I can’t believe it’s that long. We’ve known each other for 10 years now and the mind boggles, it really does. I’ve got so many wonderful memories from our years together, here are the edited highlights. The Meeting. [...]
Edited by Kally Jo Surbeck, featuring the authors of Phaze. Poetry has long been a short form method to story telling. Morals, epic tales, even desperate pleas for understanding have been recorded through the ages in verse. And yet, somewhere along the line of our technologically advancing society, it seems those small intimate pleasures are [...]
