And they're off...!

First let me say that I'm not he fastest writer in the world. I get bogged down in perfectionist details and constant line edits.

But not this week.This week I get to write complete and total garbage. My critique partner Lisa and I have agreed to a writing challenge. She has a March 1st deadline and I just need to make more progress on MIDNIGHT .

So we're each going to write 52 pages in 8 days. That's 6.5 pages per day in Courier New 12 pt font [not sure what hers is since she uses Times New Roman].

My stomach is already knotting up at the thought but I really do need to tell the Inner Bitch Critic to shut up so I can hear what The Fiction Fairy has to say.

If we make out goal, Lis and I are treating ourselves to an evening at a jazz club when we go to New Orleans next month. Wish us luck!
