Hooray! I’m participating in the Entangled Publishing 2012 Smack Down over on the Savvy Author’s Web site.

Hey Celia, what is this Smack Down thing of which you speak?
Entangled Publishing editors are graciously working with registered participants to prep us for NaNoWriMo (aka National Novel Writing Month).

I’m on Team Covet. Covet = Entangled’s imprint for contemporary short romance with a paranormal twist. My story involves mermen and humans. And love with an HEA, of course. ☺

How does it work?
The Smack Down has three parts: Recruit Day, Basic Training, and Nano Boot Camp. For Recruit Day, we pitched and discussed our one page synopsis with the editors. We’re in Basic Training right now. Story discussions continue as well as lectures on craft and fun, writerly chats with our fellow participants. Nano Boot Camp begins November 1 and we’re expected to cross the 50K finish line on November 30. That’s right, 50,000 words in 30 days.

Yes. We. Can.

How do you feel?
Grateful. A big thank you to Entangled Publishing editors, Savvy Authors and Savvy Authors Special Event Coordinator Riley Darkes for arranging this event.

Best of luck to all of the imprint writing teams. Happy writing, everyone!
