It's time for a ROW80 update. The current round of A Round of Words in 80 Days runs from January 2nd to March 22nd. My goal during this round of ROW80 is to a) edit WIP #1 and get it to beta readers and b) write at least half of the first draft for WIP #2 based on the outline I wrote during the previous round. I’m not one to write in detail about my WIPs online, so I’ll use abbreviations of the titles. WIP #1 is TWILAMPH and WIP #2 is EK.
TWILAMPH: Last week I ended at 6 chapters edited, and to date 13 out of 28 chapters have been edited.
EK: I'm still on the first chapter, so there really isn't any progress. I did add some missing details to this beginning chapter, but I didn't write the second chapter like I wanted to. Going to a three-day conference did take away from my writing time, in a good way since I learned a lot about the craft while I was there.

These are a few conference pictures I have on hand from the SCBWI Florida annual conference that took place over the weekend. There are a few more floating around that will hopefully get emailed to me. And I was a party pooper since I didn't go to the costume party. I wasn't feeling well, but I heard it was a blast. So, I missed out on that fun.

Hey you look great, Medeia! I heard it was such a nice time. How did your panel go?? Sorry you missed the ball. Bummer.
Sounds like you're making some real progress with writing goals!
These are great pictures! Sounds like you had a fabulous time. I'm so sad I couldn't go this year. Boo hoo. Maybe next year? But I'll be at the workshop in Orlando.
Congrats on the panel!!! Yahooo!!!!
FYI, Medeia was terrific on the panel. Everybody laughed at the right places (and there were a lot of great places to laugh) and she properly inspired the crowd.
Now I can't wait to read her book. Good work!
Sorry you weren't well, but it sounds like you got a lot out of the conference in spite of that.
OH you look so lovely with such gorgeous hair!!! Awwww!!!! Yay!! Thanks for sharing these fab pics - glad your book panel-ling went great!!
Take care

Love the pictures of you. So you don't have gray hair like in your avatar. :D
Awesome job with the writing goals, Medeia!
Great pictures! Sounds like it was a great conference, too.
Aw, how fun! So glad you had a great time, even if you couldn't make the costume party!
What great pictures! You sound like you are a fast writer.
That's great you were a speaker on one of the panels!
Nice pictures. Seems like everything went well.
The writing conference totally counts toward your writing. Hope you are feeling better :)
Great pics. It certainly looks like it was a great conference.
Thanks for posting such a cute pic of you and MZ, though I still think you should have tackled hugged her! :) It sounds like you had a great time!!! I would have LOVED to see your panel, but I was stuck here in freezing Chicago! ;)
Sorry you missed the costume party. I hope you're feeling better!
Great pictures! Looks like you had fun despite having to bail on the costume party.
Awesome to have such clearcut writing goals - good luck! And I'm super excited you joined the Tumble 4 Ya blogfest. Is going to be fun. :D
Can't tell you were nervous at all. You look great! :)
Fabulous photos! Sounds like a great time :)
Yay for you that the conference went so well. Sounds like your writing is in the productive zone as well. Double Yay.
Aloha Medeia,
Just found you on the '80s Crushes Blogfest and wanted to say congrats on your debut book. It must be a great feeling!
I'm a new follower and look forward to reading your posts.
You looked so pretty for the First Books panel. Wish I could of been there to hear it but I know you did well. :)
Thanks for posting those happy pics! Its always great to get to know other bloggers just a little bit more.
Great photos Medeia. Sorry you missed out on some of the fun, but sounds like you were a great hit! well done with it all
Aww, love the photos! Good luck with your writing! <3
I have to add that you did such a great job speaking on the first books panel. You were inspiring. : )
Great pics! And you a seriously an editing machine. :)
Great pictures! :) It sounds like it was an exciting conference.
Great pictures! Sounds like an excellent conference.
Great pics! Tell me, was it at all weird asking people to let you take the photos? I've regretted not asking Kelley Armstrong for a picture since that conference, but I'm still not sure how asking people for a photo with them would go.
Congrats on your goals! Sorry you missed out on the costume ball.
As long as you learned something helpful from it :)
Great photos!
