1. My next freelance job arrives today. The only thing I don't know is if it will arrive as an a.m. delivery or a p.m. one. I'm hoping p.m. In the meantime, I'm a revising machine. Take your time UPS Guy!

2. blackholly has an excellent post today about writing and writing advice. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out! Great timing for those of you ( Read more... )

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! dorihbutler September 19 2006, 12:56:49 UTC

It's kind of interesting to read about how "Talk Like a Pirate Day" got started: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/

60! Wow!

jbknowles September 19 2006, 13:58:34 UTC

I just counted. It's now at 73!

I hope I can keep track of it all. :-)

Hope you're writing is going well!

I've gone through 2 chapters this a.m. Still no sign of the UPS guy! He usually comes around 10 if it's a morning drop off...

Unfortunately, I HAVE to get through the SCBWI stuff before I can start writing again. But I will. I still have a lot of time and I should be done by tomorrow.

If I blow off making the beds, I might squeeze in a paragraph or two. At least that would be progress.

Hi! I found my goals!
It might sound like a lot, but it isn't because if I don't have things going at the same time I get totally bored
Now I am sure I won't be bored! :)

To complete a first draft on SEVEN
To complete Monkey picture book with Della
To actively be sending out manuscripts
To begin gathering essays for Mom essay book
To work on WIP Picture Books. . .
. . .I shall spare you the list of titles lol

And I am very happy with these goals! :)

I'm a mom! What are you looking for essays on? I'd love to help you reach a goal! :-)

Am I too late?! bostonerin September 19 2006, 20:45:28 UTC

am I too late to sign up for jonowrimo+1.5? I've been away from lj for a few days...

If not, my goal is to write 20,000 words of my new MG novel.

Thanks for keeping us inspired, Jo!
