It's a start...

Well, in my quest to submit before I turn 35, I came across the Harlequin Medicals fast-track submissions. The deadline to submit is August 24th. I have less than 2 days to finish my submission. I've written the query and the synopsis (my first synopsis, I might add, hope it's ok). The only thing left to write is the first chapter. 5,000 words, give or take a few. I hope I can do it. I plan to write as much as possible tomorrow (that is when I'm not cleaning house, entertaining the monkey, or getting ready to go out for my 6th wedding anniversary) and then as much as possible Sunday, before I go to teach a course. If all goes well, I should be able to finish it up Sunday night, after my course. I'm a bit too burnt out from work and writing the synopsis (which I did today during time I was supposed to be working) to do any real writing, but I am going to take my little notebook to bed and make some scene notes. I find it easier to write after brainstorming a bit on each scene. I'm off now. Sweet dreams.
