Sweaty Sunday
Has everyone posted their word counts on Alison’s blog?
Have you gone to Larissa’s blog to talk about rejection?
Are you still sweating with the same enthusiasm? If not, now’s the time to get a big old hairy hit of sharing and caring with your fellow Sweaters. My recommendation? Find a post where the writer is having trouble, then brainstorm with them how to get past it. Giving in that way is an excellent motivator and a great way to get yourself back in gear.
For those of you who are still waiting for the call – this is an extraordinary way to learn what it’s like to be under a deadline. If you are looking to be a professional writer, then you can do no bigger favor for yourself than keeping up with your word commitments. Deadlines are so much a part of this gig that you simply can’t afford to take six months to polish your first three chapters. Writing is a passion, that’s true, but it’s also a business. The real trick is to learn great habits now, while there’s not an angry editor breathing down your neck.
So GO SWEATERS!

Hey, Jo –
Sorry to post this here, but I tried to send pictures of a certain puppy, and the email bounced. Would you drop me a line from whatever email addy is best to send six photos to?
Thanks!
