8-O Clocket, I every faith in you & your wonderful, vivid and off-beat style, but at least 80,000 words you're prepared to submit to actual peoples by December 2010?!!!?

I wish you the best of luck now, because if you really do, we'll never see you in the interim... :-D I'm not sure anyone else will, either.

Ah, sanity does have to kick in at some point (I know I can't actually beat the deadline, shhhhh). But it des give me sometime to work towards which will hopefully keep me on track rather than wandering off into distract-o land.

(also, everything I write is YA and the competition is for adult fiction. Still, shhhhh!!)

:-D Good thinking!

Aw, and I did wonder about that, too, cos that was what I thought. Mind you, if you don't tell adults that, they won't notice. :lol:

It's quite true you know. I'm just reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman. The main character is 17 but it's adult marketed as far as I can tell.

Your icon is quite adorable.

:-) Yep. As long as nobody says, they'll never work it out. It's completely true!

Aw, thanks so much - it's one I made. :-D
