2 Rounds Down
Well, I got my round 2 fiction entry in on time, just. Word count was around 2,300 with a maximum allowance of 2,500 so I was pretty close to the mark. Much better than the 900 odd words last round. Suddenly thought that I may not have put a line count against my poem.
Still no pages for ScriptFrenzy but I did have a productive Slingink day. Finally got the Member Guide written and posted and I also did the page and post for the e-zine I’m going to be running.
Please check out Slingink for more details if you’d like to submit something. We are accepting short fiction, poetry, flashes and articles. Also potentially longer work for serialisation.

I'm writing!!!
Get this – I’m actually writing at the moment and it feels great.
I’ve entered both the fiction and the poetry strands of ‘The Write Idea’s’ forum’s Whittaker competition. 2 poems and 2 story down – 1 story to write by sat (eek).
I’ve also decided to have a bash at April’s Script Frenzy – I have always failed at Nano but always at least register and give it a bash. One of these times I’ll get more than about 2% of the total written. (www.scriptfrenzy.org)
So far day 1 has seen no pages but I have a week and a day off work so let’s see what I can do.
Wish me luck.
