I am made of awesomeness!!

Enough about me.  Go here to check out the other participants’ awesomeness!  Then it’s rest and planning time for a few weeks before we start round two.  Who else is in?

It seems like I worked hard but don’t really have a lot to show for it in terms of my stated goals.  I missed my new word count on my novels in process though I worked on two of them and wrote and submitted one short story to a contest and started a second.

My first three betas have sent back their marked up copies of my manuscripts.  All are writers.  That leaves two in the hands of readers who, if they read it, great, if not, no worries.  So, the editing, with the help of autocrit.com begins this next week.

Lastly, I really need to work away from the television.  I have a netbook and vow to use it upstairs in the quiet office until we get a more permanent computer solution.
