Seize the… night?

Wednesday March 5, 2008 • filed Filed under: Reading/Writing

Every day is a chance to make your dreams come true.

The thought occurred to me the other day, and I believe it. So I should be practicing it.

I did send pages 1-50 of The Good Daughters to Wilkes University’s James Jones First Novel Fellowship (contest). We’ll see how that goes…

In the meantime, I’m going to see if I can start pushing myself to stay up later writing. It’s probably going to be a painful adjustment, but at this point, it seems necessary.

    From what I’ve gathered, finalists should be asked sometime in June/Summer (depending on which winner’s story you’re reading) to send in the next 50 pages.
