Finalist – Orange Rose Contest!
by | Posted in Writer's Cramp 4 Comments »
The 2010 Orange Rose Contest finalists have been announced, and I am happy to report that HEARTS OF DARKNESS is among them. The entries were judged by three published judges, and the top ten scoring entries, regardless of category, were selected as finalists. Entries now go to two as-yet-unnamed editors for the final round of judging. This contest judged the first 50 pages, as opposed to the usual 25. I’m glad that my difficult third chapter, which I’ve rewritten five billion times, is up to snuff. It’s nice to have good writing news in the midst of my writing dry spell. Motherhood has not been kind to my free time, and my 3.5 month old dislikes naps. Ah, for time to write again! I miss it.

HUGE congratulations!! That’s great news, Ciara!
HUGE Uh-ohs, though, that Juniper doesn’t like naps. My youngest was like that, too, but I always thought it was because my older daughter was always waking her up! My girls never fell asleep in the car either. What a rip off! LOL
I’m going to be in Seattle late next week on vacation with my family. Sort of passing through on our tour of the PNW…. so wave to me! ^_~
