Virgos Love Organizing Stuff

I'm trying to simplify my life. So I'm extending that into my digital life as well. This will be my main writing blog from now on. And I will be participating in Tricycle Magazine's The Big Sit. This is a 90-day endeavor, and I figured I might as well point the blog in that direction and just let it keep going. I'll still be writing and will plan on participating in NaNoWriMo again this year, so this blog's focus will remain intact. I know, I know. If I hadn't had too many blogs to start with, this wouldn't have happened. What can I say? I always have to have too much of any good thing. Sometimes I even have to have too much of a bad thing before I figure out it's bad. I think it's in my DNA. But I'm working on it, I promise.
Stick around. It might get a little crazy around here real soon. ;)

2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award

I am frantically trying to edit my NaNo novel to enter this contest. The fact that I am just getting started isn't helping. I have until 2PM Friday to get this done, because after that I will be going out of town until Sunday to a convention that I have been registered for since last June. Submissions close on Sunday, or when they reach 10K entries, whichever comes first. Even though I really don't feel like going, I need to go and meet new people and get out of this house! My illness has kept me cooped up in my bedroom for way too long. Luckily I will be taking my Celiac tests Monday, and after that I can clean out my kitchen and start changing my diet, and hopefully start to feel better. So wish me luck, both with the rapid edit job and at the conference, where gluten-containing food will be plentiful.
