Well, I did it...

...and I'm scared outta my little mind.  I submitted Her Nightmare to courttv.com's Next Great Crime Writer contest - Tink, honestly, thank you for giving me that link.  If nothing else, it's gotten me to get off my butt and outline the rest of the damn book.  Grin  Mon the 27th is the deadline; yes, I know, I've dragged my heels getting this in, but I've always just written for myself.  The few times I've gotten the guts up to submit anything, I've been rejected.  I don't expect to win this, either - mainly 'cause I don't wanna get my hopes too high.  'Twould be nice, but I'll wait until after Dec. 7th, which is when they're supposed to announce the semi-finalists.  Cross your fingers for me!! *nervous bounces*

Hugging, DM!! You are braver than I am. It has been years since I submitted anything and frankly, I don't know if I ever will again. I tend to think that my stuff isn't good enough and editors have, so far, agreed. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

They announced the finalists yesterday... there is no joy in Mudville.  Undecided  Ah well... I made the attempt, which for me is a lot, so I'm still happy.  And I didn't let my hopes get too high, so I'm not really disappointed.  I don't handle rejection well, so it's easier for me to not believe anything good will happen to me, so that why I can still be pleasantly surprised when something good DOES happen.  Grin
