1st Place in Week Four KIA marathon
I nearly fainted when I opened the thread at RWAOnline to read the winners of week four of the marathon. Our Nookie Ninja team took first place. Woo Hoo! I was even more shocked to see that I’d managed to win first place title for Individual writers. Hey all you romance writers out there, if you’re looking for a site packed full of information about romance writing, RWAOnline is the place to be.
Another competition complete, now I’m ready to roll for the NaNoWriMo!

The KIA Marathon is an annual writing marathon named after and held in honor of Kia Cochran, a RWA member and author of contemporary romance.
Just prior to her death, she'd turned her hand to attempting mystery romances. She passed away in August of 2000, but she left a memory of her caring and a reminder that the most important thing a writer can do is tell a story that will touch the readers' hearts.

Sara, you're so sweet! I don't know about that. I'm behind already. I have a lot of catching up to do today.
Hey, Dawno. Good to see you! Hope you enjoy what you find at RWAonline.
Joanne, I saw this a couple of days ago, and have followed your posts, but...
Maybe I didn't read close enough. What is KIA? I know about RWA (I've got a massive crush on one particular RWA member, who shall remain unnamed), but not KIA.
I'm a former soldier, and I must admit that in my confusion, I thought it might be your bodycount... 238? What are you, some kind of female Rambo?
ROFL Mark.
I mentioned in the first KIA post that the Kia Marathon was an annual writing marathon held in honor of a RWA member who had passed away. I failed to list her name so I went back into my posts and added her name.
238 was the points I earned for the number of pages I wrote during that fourth week. Each week there was a page number challenge and anything written above that challenge earned an additional two points per page. As I stated in this blog, Week four I wrote 134 pages and completed a novel I'd started writing a number of years ago.
Hmmm...You'll have to tell me more about this crush you have on a RWA member. Maybe I can use it as a plot to my next novel. LOL
Nope, no Rambo here. Just a short, petite female who likes to write romance, horror and mystery. :D
WTG, Jo. You're an inspiration! If I write like you do... oh scary thought.
Thanks, Ray. You're an inspiration to me as well. Congratulations on the upcoming release of The Pacific Between. I can't wait to read the next book!
