Deadlines are
killers. Don’t you hate them? But without a deadline, I would piddle forever, tweaking
all 123,000 words until every word was rewritten several times. That doesn't accomplish much. I could write a short story instead.
Yesterday, I read
my manuscript on my Kindle, highlighted mistakes and words I wanted to change. I’ll
make those changes today, and that’s it. Off to my editor it goes. Yippee!
I didn't get to
post Thursday’s links yesterday, so I've included two days of links below.
Happy writing and
running, Kathy
