Backspace Writers Conference '07

Miss Snark posted a link to some details of a "scholarship" for two writers to the 2007 conference.

I WANT IT

Crap, I had my goal set for June of 07 for novel completion, edit, edit, revision... but that's too long. I'm seriously going to have to put my nose to the grindstone. I'm going to have to finish my first draft much, MUCH, sooner.

*I crack my knuckles and flex my fingers over the keyboard*

There is nothing like pressure to get me moving. I excel when I have a challenge and the goal is something I really want. So, here I go ladies and gentlemen. Let's see if I can get a complete manuscript by February 10th. That'll give me a couple of weeks to harrass all my writer buddies to beta read.

You may find that I'm not blog surfing quite as much over the next two months. I've got to get my ass moving!
