By that I mean blah blah blah. It seems I have gone overboard on the blog thing. I have had ideas sprouting up all over the place. Considering how much time FanLit takes (Yes, that again) not to mention other things going on in my life – like work, kids, and having the critique group get suddenly very busy just as I become Critique Wizard – I don’t have time for all the blogs I’ve thought up. Bummer.
I’m going to try to make them a little shorter anyway.
First, I have decided to stop trying to win. Or even place well. I was really spoiled up until this round because I would see 5’s pop up regularly on everything I’ve submitted so far. But the .5 and 0 bandits more than made up for it so that the best I ever did was 49th. And I really liked Tempting Damien. Sigh. This time the best I seem to be able to come up with is Of Cats And Canaries, which doesn’t have enough substance. Although I will say in Canaries’ defense that conflict could easily be made in chapter 4 over whether or not they love one another.
On top of this my dh decided to play too! As if it wasn’t hard enough to get on the phonline before…. If you happen across the one with a sniper Snydney, please leave a comment. It’s the first time he has ever shared his writing with anyone.
I’m discovering things about my process and personality. Some of it even good! *grin*. One of those things is that I simply don’t compete well. I now officially give myself permission to simply have fun.
