I'm on Twitter. I'm on Facebook. I'm participating in March Madness (a wonderful way to keep writers honest - at least for the month of March) with daily check-ins. So, in March, I'm all over the place. But I'm not here, on this blog.
I have a mountain of revision to do on FIND ME after getting feedback (very different feedback, of-effing-course) from my two beta readers. There will be whiteboards. There will be Post-Its. There will be scribbling in the margins. But there won't be any more posts for the month of March.
What will you DO without me?
See you in April, friends.

Birthday Cake and March Madness
So, I got a really huge rejection today. Will talk more about this tomorrow on my Insecure Writers' Support Group post (because that's where whinging and sobbing and beating of chest belongs) but for now I'll just say, I'm flattened. I have tackled my pancaked ego in the following ways:
Ate the rest of my birthday cake. For breakfast.
Joined March Madness. Denise Jaden and other awesome authors are hosting this month long blogfest/challenge. It's simple, as all good ideas are. You set your goals for the month. You check in EVERY DAY. You become accountable to a group of people and make friends in the process. Also, you get to support each other. It's a win win. And it's the kick in the pantalones I need. What will you do this month to stave off the darkness?
Here are my goals for March:
1) To stop obsessively querying/tweaking and basically wasting time worrying about my finished ms. I need to concentrate on the new project and stop procrastinating with the last project.
2) To write faithfully, every day, at least 500 words, on the new wip.
3) To not be completely flattened and derailed by no answers and rejections for finished ms. It's what's been keeping me from concentrating on the new wip and it must stop.
4) To read and comment on at least 3 blogs a day.
