Magnificent Seven Writing Festival

As you have all probably noticed, I am a slackass.

Well, I prefer to think that RL has intervened in my creative process, and all of my creative energy has been expended in grading, trying not to kill students, family, and other annoying people, and generally getting through the day without creating yet more emotional crises - and to that end, I have been, for the most part, successful. 

But slackassery at writing has been the cost of such self restraint.

NOW, though, I am in the denouement of the semester (see how I did that, injecting some writery language in there?) and I am setting myself a deadline.  Yes a DEADLINE.

I will finish ONE STORY BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK. 

And to make this concrete - that means MAY 15. 

I think I know which one it is, but as I am working on two Mag 7 at the moment, I could be wrong.

Anyone want to join me in this insane adventure???

I notice, by the by, that we do have some awesome writing going on!  Shout-out to deannie and tarlan for recent post and a hope that todeskun is still working on her personal goals!

ETA - the awesome randi2204  who has another addition to the awesome Pacific Rim series!

 As discussed in the previous post, how about a little summer challenge? Starting August 1 and going for 21 days/three weeks, until August 21, let's see how much we can write in Mag 7.  Complete stories would be great, of course (drabbles even, or very short stories, anything at all), but actually writing anything is the objective.  Work on a story you've already started, start a new story that's going to be long - whatever you want to do, just write.  I will post as often as possible to keep us going and motivated and to keep us checking in. 

Yea! Looking forward to some fun time with you guys!!
