Has anyone else entered this yet? I know the deadline's not till Feb. 6, but I've already put mine in. I've gone with SUNDOWN. Every now and then I go back and edit what's there, i.e. the pitch.
It's exciting!
In the critiquing circle I'm participating in via AW, I'm the next up for having my chapters ripped apart. Should be fun, and hopefully helpful too!
Meanwhile, I have written a bit more of STORM in the last few days, and I am currently halfway through the 2nd-last chapter. I'm pretty sure there'll only be one more after this one, to tie things up. But who knows what'll happen during revisions.
I've really been looking forward to NaNoEdMo, when I can really get stuck into editing FIRE. I can't wait to see the words slough away under my iron editing thumb. Er, yes, my thumb is iron. Or it will be.
And that's about it for updates. Except I wrote a story this week for Chrysalis which involves my idea of the most pathetic girl on the planet. I feel sorry for her, because her entire life is her jerk-faced boyfriend. And guess what happens? He dumps her.
As my critiquing buddy Jenn put it after reading... "Ouch."
Speaking of both Jenn AND Chrysalis, Jenn's story is up for this week. And I must say that after reading it, I was in a state of shock and awe. It's pretty AWESOME.
would you mind share the link of the competition with us? since you have international followers :)

ReplyDeleteI'm brushing up my pitch and plan on entering. Best of luck to ya!
ReplyDeleteWow, best wishes on the Amazon competition! It's an awesome opportunity, keep us posted as you move through the different stages :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I don't write in either of those genres so I am not entering, though I have friends who are.
ReplyDeleteWell I know that "General Fiction" is technically its own genre, but when I chose it, it had sub-categories like romance and stuff. So yeah, I chose the romance sub-category :D
ReplyDeleteI won't have time to enter. I still have far too much work to get done. I wish you the best for your entry though.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I wont be able to enter. Too much pending work. Good luck with your entry.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the work you guys are doing :) There's always next year!
