So I entered SEAWEEDS into the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. This is my 3rd year doing the contest. The first year I made it through the first round and got reviews of my excerpt. Last year I didn't make it through the first round even though I my piece was probably a thousand times better than the first. This year I'm hoping to make it to the 2nd round. And if I go further...well, that'll be real nice.
I am about 4,000 words close to finishing my Nano novel. And 14,000 words into my new novel. I find that I tend to write sad stories in the winter and happier stories in the summer. My nano novel is a happy story. My new novel is sad. That explains why I'm compelled right now to finish the new novel. But I will finish the Nano novel by February. Then wait until spring to edit it.
In non-writing news, I'm on foot rest. Curse having flat feet!!!!!!!!!!
It needs to snow right now. I need a real snow day so I can write my snow chapter. I've decided I'm going to record some voiceovers of my experiences shoveling snow, making snowmen, feeling cold, feeling warm afterwards...but I need a legitate snow day to do all that.
Is anyone else doing the Amazon competition? If so, best of luck!
