I think the Summer doldrums have hit me in a big way. I haven’t written anything new in a few days, which is a major bummer for me, though I did manage to get 2 entries off to the Romance Junkies Contest this year. Wish me luck! And thanks to Megan for kicking my butt and telling me to enter.

Oh, and the entries are under an assumed name so you can’t tell it’s me. That’s part of the rules and I think it’s a good thing so the results are fair. So I can’t tell you much about my entries. I just sent them in, so they’re not up yet, but other than that, good luck finding which two are mine! I might even send them a third (you’re allowed 3) if I can get another of my manuscripts polished enough to enter. I’ve sent 2 different categories already… maybe I could send something in a third category as well? I’ve got a lot of old manuscripts lying around on my hard drive waiting for me to get the energy up to pay them attention. (They’re so demanding! LOL)

Actually, I find it easier to just write new stuff than to go back to a manuscript I wrote YEARS ago and edit it to my current standards. It’s just so hard being objective about my own mistakes. I mean, I know my writing has improved by leaps and bounds just over the past year or two, so it’s kind of painful to go back to something I wrote almost a decade ago and see how pitiful I was back then. But I really like some of those old stories. The heroines were kick-ass and the situations full of daring-do. When I can work up the energy, I may just have to dust some of those off and bring them up to date – no matter how difficult it is.
