I finished the Ryden contest, which was a little dark, but fun! It was easy and maybe because it was less than 500 words. (not because I like the evil plots).
As for the other YA contest, I have been working on it, but haven't found it so easy. The short stories I want to re write and re write and they are just not getting me excited. You know, that good feeling you get when you have created something unlike anyone else. Something you can be proud of. Okay, so I am working on it.
This will be my Second contest! and I am not sure what number of submission. Keep on submitting!

Good evening Jessica, how is Utah? I just wanted to share with you that I finished the first draft of my MG novel. It is close to 22,000 words and it is still rough around the edges. I plan to take a break from it for a short while (a few weeks) then begin the editing phase. It is possible!!! Thanks for your continued support. Keep writing!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi LEE!
DeleteUtah is good. The writing meetings here have been postponed until after the New Year! So that is a bummer. I am so happy for you. Thanks for your support! I know you really inspired me to "Keep Writing!" Keep me posted on how it is and what's next. Do you have a list of agents you know you like already? Are you going to submit simultaneously? These are all the things I think about. I have a short list of agents that like my genre already, but I need more! thanks for staying in touch!
Hi Jessica. I do have a list of some agents that represent MG but I have to verify that they are interested in my specific genre. Also, I plan to keep writing the continuation of my story. I am looking for an editor and I signed up for a weekend writers retreat here in NM in November to get some additional feedback and improve my craft. Keep me abreast of your progress. Stay in touch!!!!
