10 Days And Counting...

I resisted the urge to put exclamation marks after the above header for the sole reason that it would only further fry my already frazzled nerves! What am I talking about? Well, there are only ten days to go before the winner of the Harlequin Presents Writing Competition winner is announced. For one author this is going to be a life-changing experience. For the rest of us :), we can only hope to get some positive feedback and/or a request for a full manuscript that will (hopefully) place our work in front of an editor.

Although…

In those tricky hours between dawn and sunrise, I can’t help wondering what would happen IF… ;)

I know everyone says the only way to beat the nerves is to get busy with writing something else, but, heh, that’s sooo much easier said than done!

Off to chew a few more nails, especially as the exclamation marks are beginning to mount up!

Happy reading and writing everyone!
