Reminders

by JM

pathtopublication.jpgHello and welcome to another lovely Monday. Are you one of the many people who don’t like Mondays? Admittedly, I don’t feel this way or that about Mondays. It’s another day.

This Monday is a bit special for me in that I’ve finally started my novel. Why now? I told my husband I would write ten pages if he would make a phone call I didn’t want to make. (Are there any other writers who don’t like using the phone out there?) Needless to say I didn’t sit down and write ten pages, but I did sit down, look at my notes, and start writing.

Things have been a bit crazy lately, and I have been forgetful as my to-do list gets bigger. Today’s list of reminders are for those of you like me who need reminding every now and then to remember everything that’s going on.

First off, the Spread the Love comment contest is still going! There are three $15 (US) Amazon.com gift certificates to be given away. All you have to do is refer your friends to this site and make sure they put your name as the person who referred them. A simple way to get your next book fix. (Or whatever else you’d like to get on Amazon. I’ve found some fantastically odd things.)

Send me your 200 words! Send me any 200 words out of your current work in progress, and I’ll tell you what I think. Check out 200 Words rounds of the past to see what I do and what I say.

You can also send me pictures of your creative spaces. Email me pictures and descriptions of your space(s) and I will feature it in a post.

The next edition of Fiction Scribe’s very own blog carnival, the Scribes carnival, is about to close. Be sure to submit your blog post about writing to the link provided and be a part of the link love all focused on writing.

Also, the next edition of Fiction Scribe’s monthly newsletter will be sent out to email boxes soon. If you haven’t signed up and would like to, click the “Contact Me” button on the right and send me your email address. I’ll put you on the list.

And finally, Script Frenzy is starting this week. Let me know if you are participating, hiding in terror from the event, or eagerly cheering someone on from the sidelines. I’m thinking I won’t be participating this round, but I’m still waiting to see if someone challenges me. ;)

    Man, I thought I was the only one that didn’t like to use phones, though I know a few that prefer to text message instead of talking.

    Oh, I hate phones. Texting is okay, but still not exactly my cup of tea.
