I'm attempting to jump start my writing.  Hard to do , especially with Pretend 2's rocky road lately.  But right before I received that lovelynews, I joined a challenge, monintored on Allison Kent's blog, to finish a book in 70 days.

I chose my chick let, named Memoirs of a Serial Dater, to work on.  Poor Laney - she's having a bad day.  In fact, most of her life lately has been a series of bumps and potholes, but this day - wow, it's a doozy. More on that later. (And here's hoping that this one will tittilate an editor, somewhere down the line!)

So, to reach my goal of bringing Laney and friends to fruition by September 20th, I need to write about 1300 words a day. So far, 9 days into the challenge, I have 9,000 words.  Hold on, let me do the math - oh, yeah, I'm 2700 words short.

I'm going to try to kick-start this tonight after work.  So wish me and Laney Mathews well!
