research

I have an imperative deadline that I've set for myself. This time, it's not arbitrarily. Willamette Writers Conference is in August and I want to pitch the novel I'm currently working on. Rule #1 for fiction, of course, IT MUST BE FINISHED! I will be finished. I think this is one of the most time sensitive books that I've ever written.

I should be writing right now. And I am actually in the middle of writing. I only came on-line to do some research. This is the first book I've written where research was so vital to the story-line. For me research is an afterthought, a check-up. I've never cared for research. But thank God for the internet or I don't know what I'd do.

Speaking of research and writing, I must get to it.
