60 Days to PRO

So what's today's blog about? (I should say tonight's blog). FF&P is hosting a 60 Days to PRO Boot Camp. It looks pretty intense and everyone's gearing up with lots of caffeine. What am I doing to prepare? Um. I looked at the weather, played around with MySpace and Facebook...and ogled some hot guys here: http://godsuk2009.blogspot.com/ Thanks to Sayde Grace for the beautiful, distracting eye candy.

Anyway, PRO is something I never really thought about. I guess I focused so much on just finishing my story and getting it out there, that I didn't realize there was a status going along with it. Right now, my head is stuck so far up my editor appointments and query letters' backsides, I can't see daylight. I feel like an ostrich, burying my head in these things instead of getting in touch with what's going on around me. Is this normal for authors? I don't know. It feels...egotistical as all get out, I know that much.

So this weekend is the workshop I've been planning for, agonizing over for the last month and a half. I'm ready for it. I'm prepared to have fun and meet some people. Hopefully I won't make an ass out of myself. Or as my mom likes to say 'showing my ass' to everyone. I'm not sure if that translates to 'being an ass' or 'showing all your weaknesses and dirty laundry' in public. Hm. Might have to ask her.

Nothing in this post so far has anything to do with the boot camp, does it? Well, I will say this much: there are so many workshops and chats and exercises, that it's worth it to anyone who wants to reach PRO status. As soon as I get over the editor appointments, I'll be pledging myself to it full time. I have a WIP to finish and a MS to polish off. It must be done!

So, say goodbye to all of this....and hello to Oblivion!

Hiya, Oblivion! How're the wife and kids?

I love Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! In fact...*wanders off to find her DVD*
