Okay, it’s been nearly a month.

Sorry for the delays in posting its been a bit crazy. Boomersaurus is back in action and I’ve had some writing deadlines, a couple of contest entries, and an anthology submission. You hear a lot of comments from both sides regarding writing contests… I focus on groups that I know well, or have an association with. I find two absolutes (for me anyway) about contests…
- They all have a deadline… (You know, when it MUST be done and MUST be in the mail)
- The critiques coming back are valuable.
- Did I mention they force you into a deadline… BIC-HOK stuff!! No way around it.
I know several people participating in NaNoWriMo this year… I had my own mouse pointer on the “Submit” button several times… but there always seemed to be a reason to “wait another day and see how things are going…” I can get words down rather quickly, but suddenly the 20th of November loomed and the thought of 50K words in 10 days…. oh, well you can imagine.
I did however get two pieces submitted to the Paul Gillette (Pikes Peak Writers) contest, and the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers upcoming anthology… and sent materials off to meet agent requests…
Anybody else out there cramming on deadlines? Let us know how it goes…
ttfn, rlc
