That's what my blog is turning into!
I'm especially fond of countdowns, and you'll see a new one on the left, already counting down to the end of the new Sweat with Sven Challenge that starts on Saturday! I'm sponsoring again, and I'll be trying to set a good, industrious example, but awkwardly, for the first couple of weeks, I'll probably be editing In Too Deep rather than adding new words to a WIP! But even if I'm not racking up the wordcount, I'll still be cheering everyone on and hopefully motivating everyone with words of wisdom. Not mine, 'cos I have no wisdom to speak of, but bon mots from the great and the good of the writing world!
Talking of the great and the good, check out the list of Sweatmates... there are some pretty big names amongst the throng!
Today, I sent my Victorian extravaganza to my lovely and long suffering critique partner and... she loved it! Yippee! I sort of knew it had a certain je ne sais quoi myself, but with me not being a regular historical writer, I really wasn't confident to judge. Any road up, Mrs. Sofia Harewood and her naughty 'educational' chums have been lobbed off to my agent, who will read their story, sigh at it's magnifience, then lob it off to the lovely editor, who will also sigh, think 'this woman is awesome... I need to give her a huge contract... for she is the next big thing'... and I will be in Tesco buying champagne instead of bottled water and alcohol free lager!

Portia, 'A Gentlewoman's Predicament' sounds good - I expect Mrs Harewood will have a very...instructive time. :oD
I've nicked your widget for the Sven countdown - hope that's all right? Only a few hours to go before the start (and it's on a Saturday too, so I will have no excuse not to get bum in gear straight away!)
Good luck with the challenge, Merry!
And yes, please do use the widget...
