Congrats on completing most of your goals. Also congrats on winning the prize this week. Good luck. Thanks for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't see I'd won a prize! Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to check in on it a little later.
DeleteCongrats on winning the prize! And yay for reaching most of your goals. I didn't get any writing done, but I did get some reading in, which wasn't a goal, but was definitely something I needed. ;) Good luck with Pitch Wars and your other goals this week!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read right now!
DeleteGood job powering through all those goals! Can you send some of that productivity my way? ;-) As for your revision goal this week, you've totally got this! And hey, maybe you *will* finish your edits! Have a great week, Stephanie! :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning last week's prize, and on meeting so many of your goals. That's awesome that you're a Pitch Wars mentor. I won one of the spots, and am waiting to see who critiques my first 250 words. Hopefully I'll be matched with someone who does historical and understands how third-person omniscient works!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the prize and beating most of your goals. Best of luck with the edits! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning Erin's writer care package!!! So happy for you! And congrats on all the progress this week! I need to stop by Brenda's blog again. I noted the dates for Pitch Wars, but not all the other wonderful things I seem to be missing! Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteShe has a whole schedule up there for upcoming contests. She does a lot for writers, it's pretty great. I entered one of her contests two years ago.
DeleteYay for winning Erin's care package! It's full of fantastic things! Best of luck with your projects and with your new fitness routine. I'm rooting for you, lady!
ReplyDeleteAwesome news about winning! and you accomplished so much :) way to go!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the prize win! And finishing so much! Good luck this week.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, the fitness train! I need to get back on that, I've been doing a little too much sightseeing the past few weeks :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals this week!
Once again, congratulations on winning the writer's care package this week! I really hope it provides some encouragement for all your summer writing endeavors when it arrives. Best of luck with those edits and incorporating the feedback from your critique group. Also, I hope being a Pitch Wars mentor is a great experience for you. My mentor from the Dec/January Pitch Wars (Liz Briggs) still checks up on me and offers me awesome advice. Seriously, entering that contest was one of the best things I've done for my writing yet, and it's so great that people like you are willing to give of your time for it! :)
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I'm a little nervous because I consider it a big responsibility. I've really enjoyed judging several of the RWA contests and there are a few entries I wish I'd known the writer's identity so we could discuss further, like a critique partnership. So hoping to collaborate that way :)
DeleteI hear you on the pesky day job. =) Congrats on the writer care package, I'm sure you'll put it to good use. Good luck this coming week!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the care package, and for hitting your goals this week! :)
