Days of Vacation
by Nika on Aug.31, 2009, under writing
What to do when you have two weeks of internet free time at the cottage? Swim? Canoe? Relax on the deck with a good book? Heck no… you do edits on your latest novel because your book made it to the finals in a contest. ^_^
Well, I suppose it could have been worse.
It could have been raining.
True Deceit, my second novel, is a finalist in the 2009 Toronto Romance Writers Golden Opportunity Contest! Can I get a hell-yeah? Out of roughly forty entries in the Romantic Suspense category it is one of the top 3 works chosen to be presented to the final round judge — Megan McKeever from Pocket. To say I was excited is a bit of an understatement. Thank the gods, fairies, and patron saints of writers I had my laptop with me. I spent 3 days editing, revising, modifying according to judges comments. Then another day to revise the synopsis. Then I had to drive 20 minutes to down to access free WiFi so I could submit the revisions by the deadline.
Talk about sacrifice for your art! I’ll definitely keep you posted on how it all works out!

OMG I’m so excited it finaled, but now I’m running around in circles squeeing when I should be finishing it! I have it done in my head, I just have to get it on paper. 5 year old not helping, of course. ^_^
