Well, the contest for unpublished authors was moved forward by two months, and closed to new entries yesterday. Within the coming month, the editors on staff will read through the submissions and select their three favorites. These will be passed up to the owner, who will request the entire manuscripts from those three authors.
Wouldn’t it be thrilling if I were chosen as one of the final three?
All I can do now is make final tweaks and wait for that hoped-for call to ring my phone.
Of course, I have begun working on story #2, along with the plot issues that come with any new project. My victim is fleshed out, I know how he’s done in. I even know who does it. And I know who is falsely accused. But I haven’t figured out the why yet. Can’t get too far into the story until that major component is created.
And so my waiting game begins…my fingers are crossed!
