Welcome to the scattered thoughts of a haunted writer with too little time. I can't guarantee anything profound or particularly innovative here, but I hope I can share my journey and commiserate with other authors, artists, and anyone else who knows the manic joy of chaos and creativity.

Harry Potter and the Secret of the Hopeful E-Mail...
So Friday should reveal a couple of nagging secrets that have haunted my dreams for the last 2 weeks! Yes, I will be in line at midnight to collect my pre-ordered copy of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. But before I march out into the darkness, I hope to have news of the YAFiction contest. We just got the post that the decision will be made and announced on Friday, July 20th. A few more days to hold my breath. In the meantime, I had a fabulous weekend with my revisions and am now standing on the threshold of true completion--well, at least of this draft! I am hoping to squeak out some time over the next couple of days to finish it up. Then I'll be truly ready for whatever comes next. Keep those fingers crossed just a little bit longer!

Sending good thoughts your way. :-D
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm an HP fan too. I won't be standing in line that early, however. I can wait to get my pre-ordered copy.
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to talk about Harry P right now. I'm far too stressed. If you read my blog, you'll know why I'm freaking out.
Mary Ann,
ReplyDeleteWishes that it comes and completing that draft puts you that much closer to getting it out there and hopefully published.
Will check back to see if you got selected - E :)
How's the draft coming along?
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the support! I am inches away from finishing my book. I have about 1-2 pages to finish up! I've been interrupted about 20 times today, though, so it may have to wait for a couple of days. My eyes will be glued to HP after tonight. I read book 6 in 2 days, so I'd like to do the same with book 7.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm soooooo close on my own!
Still now word, yet.
Good luck to you and enjoy your new book - I've never read any of the HP books - maybe someday...
