Contests & blogfests & argh!

Current wordcount for SUNDOWN: 106,015. I have been reluctant to share this since the messing around I did, because I'm going to be (probably) adding more words in order to fill in the new holes I've made in my novel. But eventually I'll be back to chopping, so...yeah, might as well share the adventure as it unfolds, I guess. ;)

Anyway...I wanted to advertise the Back from Branson Giveaway Part 2, which is open to international bloggers (as long as your country gets delivery from The Book Depository, at least!). I'm always excited to see contents that I in all my Aussie glory am eligible to enter. There are a fair few books up for grabs that you can choose from, so it's pretty cool!

I also wanted to say, check out how busy March is gonna be!!



March 4-6th - Race to 200 Blogfest


March 13-15th - Broken Heart Blogfest



Basically, YAY! What great ways to get involved in the blogging community. :) And here in Aus, it's March 1st! Phew. It's going to be one heck of a month.

    Hi Trisha. I hope that word count is for a fantasy :)

    Wow, you do have a lot going on here. I'll see you at the Snoop Blogfest.

    Donna, no it isn't, hence why I need to keep cutting it ;)

    Oh wow, so many blogfests. Better you than me. That is one crazy month lined up!

    Sounds like you are making great progress with your MS even if there's still more to do...

    Holy crow Trisha! You are going to be so busy during March! I'm about to sign up for the Super Snoop Blogfest. That sounds like a lot of fun. I'll keep checking your list and see if there are others I want to give a whirl.

    Hoping you are doing well!

    Thanks for the list of blog-fests. Definitely going to check them out. I am like you, content revisions always add to my word count. It is during my grammar/ overused word revisions that I seem to cut the most out.

    So, are you thinking that word count is too much? I think mine is at 114,000, and its in the women's fiction category. So far I've not had any agent tell me its too long. The word counts for categories vary so much, they confuse me. Anyway, sounds like you have a fun month ahead. Can you believe it is March already? Wow.

    o.O
    Really, you're all set for March. Yay for you.
    Personally I've decided to take it slow for this month. Jan and Feb were pretty brutal on me, but it was all for the greater good of writing. :)
    Congrats on that word count too.

    March also has the first day of spring. I know that this doesn't "count" as something to do but I love spring so much that I thought I'd bring it up.
