about the campaign, goals, and this awesome thing called "doing the work."

First and foremost, if you haven't entered to win a signed copy of Article 5, and you would like to, click here! Kristen Simmons is a dear friend, so let's keep supporting her. {Note: the more entries I get on this giveaway, the more winners there will be!}

To all my new Campaign friends and followers and soon-to-be friends, hello!

I have a quick something to say. I've decided {just now this very second}, that until the official Campaign start date next week, I am going to take a mini-break from blogging. Kind of an awkward time, I know, but it's for a good reason.

I'm writing again. For reals. Like, with goals and everything. And if I could take that Blogger icon down from my bookmarks, even if it's just for a handful of days, that would be really helpful.

I will still be doing my Campaign-ly duties, of course. Just not until next week.

To tide you over, here's the song that pretty much epitomizes everything I want my main character to be:


The mood is a little chippy, but seriously, even the title {"Attaboy"} is perfect.

Okay, here I go.

    1. I know, I chose the video without movement on purpose; watching the guys play distracts me from the story. The live version *is* really awesome, though.

  6. Hi Julie!

    I think we shared a campaign group (or two!) for the last round as well, and I'll be honest I haven't kept up with everyone! So, I'm making my rounds again for Round 4!

    I don't blame you for taking a break at all! I'm currently trying to get as many blog posts pre-written as I can, since I start a new job on Monday. The more I get done now, the less I have to worry about later!

  13. Hi, just found your blog through a friend's... I guess not at the best time, since you're taking a break. :) But I wish you lots of productive writing time!
