So like I just decided to put DASH away for a while because it was frustrating me and I get a request for a full. Merde!
I spent most of yesterday plotting a fab tween story I had an idea for and then woke up to an email from a coordinater for the Gotcha contest saying that Susan Litman wants to see the full. And this from 15 pages of manuscript. So I must put everything aside and get this sucker out the door. Trouble is, it is SO not ready. But that's what I get from entering a contest when the manuscript isn't polished yet! It's done, it's just crap.
So guess what I'm going to be doing for the next week or so? How long can I wait before sending without her losing interest? I haven't received the critique package yet, the coordinator said today or tomorrow. What do you think?
Still have two articles to get out the door this week and one for the first week of July. isn't life just amazing?
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You're on a roll! Fingers crossed on this one. :)
OK, I found you from googling, but coming from Manic Mommy who loves martinis, your blog is my kind of blog!
Congrats on the request! Good luck with fixing it up and sending it out. I know EXACTLY how you feel! (I of course have decided to procrastinate and work on the current WIP AND the next one instead!)
