Golden Heart Update

Those of you who have been waiting to hear what happened with the Golden Heart. Just wanted to let you know that I did not make the finals. Not a huge surprise, given that the ms I entered was really my first novel. But still, for a pretty competitive person, it's always hard when you compete and don't win. I'll bounce back, though.

I haven't received my scores yet, but I've heard from several of my RWA PRO friends who were in other categories and have now received theirs, so I would imagine that mine are coming soon. I will post here to let you know generally how I did. I probably won't give the scores specifically, but I will respond to the scores that I got and the comments, if there are any. I don't anticipate there really being any, because I think all I will get is scores, but we shall see. It's my first one. :-)

I'm definitely more determined to keep working on my other ms's, and to keep up the progress on trying to make a good revision of that first novel. But the more I hear from other writers, the more I'm wondering if I shouldn't just keep that first novel on the shelf for awhile. We shall see.

Anyway, thanks all for hte well-wishes!! Next year, if I'm not published before the GH contest deadline, I do anticipate entering again! Should be exciting. :-) I get knocked down, but I get up again... you're never gonna keep me down, i get knocked down, but I get up again... :-)
