Shotgun Posts This Week–New Series Starts 8/11

Monday, August 4, 2008

I just wanted to drop in quickly to say that my posts may be published somewhat randomly this week—lots of appointments and meetings (though no job interviews yet). I’m meeting with Chip MacGregor, my agent, this morning for coffee and conversation (and to meet his wife, Patty). Then it’s off to the dermatologist, then to the gym. Tomorrow I’m having lunch with a good friend whom I haven’t seen in quite a while. I love having the time to do stuff like this! And part of that “having time” will be dedicated to writing at least 2,000 words daily on Menu for Romance.

Yep, that’s right! Two thousand words. At least. Every day. Until it’s finished.

Next Monday, I’ll be starting a new blog series: Conference Prep. Yes, I know not everyone reading this blog is planning to attend the ACFW conference next month. But I hope that the topics discussed will be broad enough to encourage you all to attend a writing conference in the near future or help you make up your mind to go. The series will be written mostly by guest bloggers including Deb Raney, Lena Nelson Dooley, Ginny Smith, Lynette Sowell, and other published and nearly-published authors. So pass the word and be sure to check in every day.

I also spent some time Sunday afternoon working on some new Fun Friday topics. They’re still focused on movies, but moving away from musicals and into different areas.

Hope you have a good week and I’ll “see” you tomorrow!

    Have fun with Chip!

    2000 words a day is an awesome goal. Can’t wait to read the rest 🙂

    I can’t imagine 2K a day. I had a hard enough time writing 500 words for your blog contest!

    2,000 words a day? Hmm. That’s why I’m not done. I guess I don’t want it that bad…

    Tell Chip he has an awesome name. That’s gotta be some sort of secret identity to disguise his other life as a snarky superhero sidekick.
