Hello, everyone! I’m excited because for once I have good news to report. I wrote a new manuscript and working on revisions for FOUR others! After being in a multi-month slump, it feels great to have so many pots bubbling on the stove. My goal is to get at LEAST one out on submission before the end of the year.

Tell us YOUR progress. Did you complete a draft and/or revision in July? Let us know in the Rafflecopter and in the comments. August Featured Author Karen Yin is offering a choice of a signed copy of any of her books or a 30-minute ask-me-anything chat to August’s check-in winner. Thank you, Karen!

Here’s what you need to do to check in for a chance to win:

1. See the Rafflecopter widget at the end of this post.
2. Click on the “Comment on Karen’s post” button. Commenting on Karen’s post is mandatory for this giveaway and you can enter the Rafflecopter even if you didn’t write a draft this month. Click ENTER.
3. If you haven’t commented on Karen’s post yet, go to the post here to comment. Then come back to this post to enter the Rafflecopter.  (Commenting won’t enter you in the drawing automatically, you must enter the Rafflecopter by following step 2.)
4. Click on the “Wrote a PB Draft” button. This will ask if you completed a PB draft in August. If you did, click ENTER, if not, click cancel and move on to the next step.
5. Click on the last “Revised a PB Draft” button. This will ask if you revised a PB in August.  If you did, click ENTER. If not, click cancel.
6. That’s it! There is no overall submit button or email confirmation. Rafflecopter will track your points. (The top of the Rafflecopter will say X/3 with X being the number of entries you currently have in the drawing.)

Here’s a video tutorial on the forum to walk you through these steps as well. Click here for the monthly check-in tutorial.

You have until midnight Eastern on September 5th to enter your results. Rafflecopter will draw a winner and it will be announced on the blog on September 6th.
