Thursday’s Guest
Bob Sanchez will be here tomorrow with a post about finding the time to write. I don’t think we ever hear enough about that topic…it ranks right up there with posts about procrastination. I hope you’ll join us here tomorrow and see what Bob has to say.

Launching “60 Days to Finish the NaNoWriMo Novel”
Beginning today and ending no later than March 31st, I plan to finish the first draft of the suspense novel begun in November for NaNoWriMo. I’m over 51,000 words into the book, so giving myself two months should be more than enough time.
And I must finish before starting the A to Z April Blog Challenge.
Other Stuff
I’m reading Mad Mouse by Chris Grabenstein. One of the things I’m enjoying about this mystery series is that it’s known as the John Ceepak series, but the stories are told from the point of view of another character. It’s a different way of doing things, and that may be exactly what makes Chris such an interesting writer.
The weather is too warm. My brain has come down with spring fever. Thank goodness we should have a couple of days of cold and snow this week to get my seasonal clock back in sync with the calendar.
I want to go to a movie really bad, and it seems like all the good ones have hit the theaters at the same time. I think One for the Money will win out though.
I’m out of things to say…for now.
Good luck, Pat. It seems like a packed schedule is the best way to get a lot accomplished. When I have time on my hands (rarely), I never get anything done except diddling. 😀
I’ll be back tomorrow for Bob’s post! And only two more months to the A to Z Challenge. No pressure!
Thanks, everyone. I’m going to be a very busy bee for a while. I plan to pitch one of my manuscripts at the Northern Colorado Writers Conference at the end of March, but I can’t decide which one to finish revising first. This is so hard…
Lots of interesting links. I intend to follow some of them. And 51,000 words. Wow. I’m cheering you on!
Ann Best, Author of In the Mirror & Other Memoirs
Best of luck with finishing the manuscript!
Pat,
Thanks for mentioning my book. Your support is always appreciated. I hope you feel better soon!
Pat – I’m looking forward to Bob’s ideas for making writing time. It’s not easy! And thanks for those links. It’s always nice to connect with other writers I think. I wish you well editing your novel!
Good luck with finishing NaNo – good idea to set aside time to finish it.
Ann
