50k in 30days Starts

Yes, it's that time of year again. 50k in 30days is run every June by RWA. Along the lines of Nanowrimo, we pledge a goal for the month and then write our socks off to meet it. There is plenty of support and sprints are run regularly (I lurv the sprints *grin* - and have blogged about them previously).

This year I'm going for broke and am aiming high. I don't think I'll get there (life invariably gets in the way) but I firmly believe the higher I aim the better the outcome. Besides, even if I don't reach my goal I will have a lot more words come the end of  June then I would have otherwise.

I'll be updating my word counter regularly throughout the month - nothing like keeping it in the public eye to feed my motivation *grin*.  Wish me luck!!

Face to Face Group

I've been lucky enough to join a local face-to-face RWA group. Newly formed, we've met just a handful of times, but it has become a much anticipated event. Calling ourselves WIKS (Writers in KinShip), we meet once a month over lunch to discuss the highs and lows of our writing (ie chat *grin*).

Our small group has a diverse range of genres and experience, but we seem to have slotted together really well. Hopefully we'll continue to share our writing journeys for a long time to come.
