off the deep end again

I’ve done it again.  I’ve signed up for yet another writing challenge. 

Anyone who has paid attention knows that I don’t have a great track record with writing challenges.  I usually hit a road block, flake, and never get back going again.  I did it with my own fast drafting challenge a few months ago.   I did it with a Divas RoDiWriMo in February.   I even did it with Sven, which is a slower, 70 day challenge, for God’s sake.  I did however manage to kick some butt with NaNo and I’m hoping—fingers crossed—that I can rediscover the mojo I was feeling then and make it work for me now. 

Divas Fast Draft starts in two days and I’m looking to redeem myself by haulin’ some major ass for two weeks.  Like 15-ish pages a day ass haulin’ is what I’m talking about.  I’m nuts, I know.  I’m lucky I can get 5 pages done, let alone 15.  But, again…it’s only for two weeks.  Two measly weeks out of my life.  I can totally do that. 

So, check back next week to see how I’m doing.  Will I flake again?  Or will I find my redemption? :)

(Feel free to make bets ;) )

ETA:  Since no one tried to guess at my lyrics contest last week, I went ahead about ordered myself Gena Showalter’s The Darkest Night.  So, in a way…thanks for not trying. LOL :)

    I’ve never done one, but I need some push to get through this novel while I have a mentor looking out for me!

    Good Luck - you know I’ll be cheering you on!
