Oh My Gosh!

I had a MAJOR meltdown last night (vodka was involved...I get that from my cousin Ali...).

I dont know what happened but I went to check the date for the Feel the Heat comp, then I went and checked the guidelines again to see how many pages my synopsis had to be...and then it happened...it leapt out at me...

My WIP doesnt meet the criteria for MODERN HEAT!!!

I got so caught up in writing something that was HOT from the start, I forgot about the Modern Heat guidelines. I'm writing a freakin INTRIGUE novel....SHIT SHIT SHIT.

Then the vodka flowed.

My husband laughed his head off and asked me "How many times did you read the submission guidelines?

Two, two times I read them. I just forgot.

Feel very down. I have nothing that will fit and doubt very much I can come up with something in two weeks.

Sigh...no editor for a year for me...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

FEEL THE HEAT COMP

Things are ticking along well with my submission for the "Feel the Heat" competition which closes soon. The synopsis is done, just working on the first chapter. Unfortunately my mind wants to work on other chapters than the 1st one, but as the deadline approaches I am trying to rein the imgination in! Thankfully you can send your submission via email otherwise I'd be out of the running...!!!

Details of the competition can be found here...

The 10 year plus manuscript!!!

Has been finished and submitted some 5-6 weeks ago. I've recieved the letter to say my precious thoughts made it there okay, so now the wait is on.

Thankfully (not really) a close relative became ill so time has been passing quite quickly! Check out Ali and her dad...so cute...!!

I sat in the halls of Sir Charles Gairdner hospital furiously scribbling notes so that I wouldnt lose my MOJO, but alas now I have returned to regular home life the brain has stopped ticking over. And I did so well firing off the new synopsis in a couple of days...sigh.
