It’s all in the preparation

Well, so I’ve heard :-) So I am tying up loose ends and clearing my workload in preparation for that mad and crazy novel writing event, known as NaNoWriMo! Where people across the globe write frantically to complete a Novel in a month!

I am a little daunted myself, so I thought it best to clear the desk as much as possible for the best chance of success.

I have just finished an entry for the Joy Cowley Picture Book Award, run by Storylines and sponsored by Scholastic NZ. Entries need to be in the post by 31st October 2009, so if you have a picture book manuscript lying around – dust it off, make it shine and get it in the post quick!

I am also revising a Junior Fiction story and hoping to get that out of the way before my head gets filled with threads and plots of a Nano story.
