Writers' Platform-Building Campaign + Other Awesomesauce

Okay--I'm back and I have two super-mega-awesome things to talk about! 

 

First, Rachael Harrie is running the third Writers' Platform-Building Campaign (formerly known as the Crusades). It's a super fun way to link up with other writers in the online community. I participated in the last WPBC and it really was an amazing experience. So, if you love writing and want to meet plenty of great people who share in that love, CLICK HERE to sign up. But remember--you only have until August 31st to get your name on the list, so HURRY!

And second...

 

I FINISHED DARK WATER LAST NIGHT!!!

Yeppers. I have officially finished the first draft. And with a couple of days left over before my self-imposed deadline! 

 

YAAAY!

 

Cue the balloons and confetti!

I was thinking about taking a couple days off, but I'm kind of itching to get a jump-start on September's editing. My boyfriend is bugging me pretty hard about taking a break. (He thinks I'm "overworking" myself.) Hmm...I guess we'll just have to wait and see how that works out.

I'm going to have a lot more spare time--for fun things like blogging!--now that I'm not up to my ears in work, which will be nice. So yeah, prepare to be seeing a lot more of me around the blogosphere!

HAPPY WRITING, LOVELIES!

Gallagher, Eat Your Heart Out

We blew up a watermelon today. His name was Walter. Walter Melon. Poor, poor Walter.

As most of you know, I'm pretty busy scrambling to meet my August 31st deadline, but everyone needs to have a little fun, right?

Well, my little brother has been doing everything he possibly can to take the edge off. Heck--he spent nearly two hours today tracking down a copy of Rock and Rule for me. (It's a nostalgic favorite--don't judge me.)

He also decided to treat me to a little show staring the watermelon that's been sitting on my grandmother's front porch for the last two weeks and his .30-30 rifle.

And guess what?

I recorded it.

Enjoy.

(Lol at my hyena laugh at the twenty second mark.)

Poor Walter Melon. 

Oh well, it was either this or let him slowly rot on the porch, so I guess we did the right thing by putting him out of his misery.

Mkay! I'm going to get back to work now!

HAPPY WRITING, LOVELIES!
