I just entered 10k words into a contest and have to finish the rest within 6 weeks in case they ask for the rest (wasn't mandatory, but my characters need their HEA). Nothing like a deadline to force one to write!

And when you’re living for the win, the low points aren’t the thrill dropping, stomach plunge of real roller coasters. Nope. They suck.

I used to wallow in those low troughs, Christina. For far too long. Now I write, edit, learn, and write some more. It's all about the writing for me, so as long as I write, I'm fine. Oh, I'd be even finer with a Margie class at a castle or palace somewhere. France, Germany, Holland, Britain, Italy—my passport gets me into all those places!

Something I needed -- and need frequently -- to be reminded of. And congratulations on finaling!
