Oops, I did it again…The Muskoka Novel Marathon Song

Last night, after believing for the entire spring that I wouldn’t, I registered for the 2018 Muskoka Novel Marathon. It was a harried chain of events that brought me to getting a coveted spot at this year’s novel writing marathon for literacy.

Step 1: Get a DM from Jennifer Turney at around 7:30 last night. “Did you get in?” Wrack my brain for five minutes…did I get in where? Where was I trying to get into? Was this message meant for me?

Step 2: Realize what Jennifer is talking about and DM her back to tell her I’m not doing MNM this year.

Step 3: Spend an hour on the subway thinking, “I really should,” while listening to 80s new wave and getting strange looks.

Step 4: Get home, hear from Michael that there’s still spots left for the marathon. Look at the site map for the seating arrangements and notice MY seat spot is still open. It’s LITERALLY the best seat in the house. This can’t be?!?!

Step 5: Just before bed, Facebook Colum about NOT registering. Hem and Haw.

Step 6: Look at seating map again. MY seat is STILL available. Usually the marathon spots sell out within minutes. The universe is calling. Answer the phone.

Step 7: REGISTER.

So, I will be writing a novel in 72hrs once again.

Details will follow, but suffice it to say…I’m excited, scared, nervous, freaking.
