Is at 70 Days of Sweat. Are you still sweating?
Also, check out Carrie’s New Cover! Nice, huh?
(Sorry about the lack of unicorns. I have misplaced my camera cord. More to come, I promise!)

Today’s Post is as Romancing the Blog. See you there!
Marley once said to me, “When you initially told me about virgin decendants of Alexander the Great who hunted unicorns, I thought you’d finally gone off your rocker…” so to me, the gift of the stuff unicorn is a great symbol that she’s fallen off the rocker with me!
This one was a gift from my father, who found it in a wine store and couldn’t resist (starting to see a pattern?). I checked out the winery and they don’t use this particular label on their newer bottles. That makes this Limited Edition Unicorn Wine. A close-up on the label:
The small print says: Comes with cell phone, inappropriate clothing, and magically changing hairstyles. Weapons kit sold separately. Much mock was made of my gullibility. But the action figure (and its fabulous packaging) still gets a place of honor on my desk.
I will also be participating in the sweating this round, though mine may not be lasting the full on 70 days. This is the goal: We’re looking for a total word count between 60-100k. This means between now and May 16, (77 days total, 7 ‘free’ days worked into the calendar), you will write 850-1500 words a day. Are you up for it? For me, I’ll be finishing the unicorn book, and then getting a big chunk of Knights In Black Polyester done. A few tricks that work for me when you are staring at that “white bull”: 1. Get up first thing in the morning and write for fifteen minutes before doing anything else. This will set your mind in “writing mode” for the rest of the day. 2. Turn off the email. 3. Read the scene you wrote last night right before going to bed. This will keep it in your mind. What works for you? What will you be working on for the next two months?
