Whoo-hoo for conquering chapters! I've started another round of revisions and have been stuck on Chapter 1 for the last two days. But today there will be victory! .-= • Recent post by Samantha Bennett: Muscular Forearms =-.

Kimberly-
Good luck! Give it a HOO, and a HAH, and KICK IT, SIR! (That will make more sense if you’ve seen the movie Anastasia…)

Rebecca-
Aw, don’t chicken out! It’s one thing to not have time, but I think contests are a great way to dip a toe into the water. Especially free contests, hahaha. It just gives you something to work towards (i.e., a deadline), you know?

Mary & Jon-
I would love to be Tumblr buddies… Maybe… We’ll see… Fortunately I’m so busy not being lazy with my book that it’s making me lazy with most everything else. :P

Yes, this Tumblr thing confuses and entices me. I don't need more social media in my life right now, but it looks like so much fun. .-= • Recent post by Jon: Seeing Barry Levinson =-.

Because, you know, I don’t have enough social media outlets. o_O MUST RESIST.

Dude, you know resistance is futile. What with me being an enabler and all. ;) Don't you want to be tumblr buddies? Also, good luck beating up your manuscript. I'm sure you'll beat him into submission soon. :) .-= • Recent post by Mary: A new look, already! =-.

Thanks for all the tips and links! I'm going to check out the contests now (even though will probably chicken-out when push comes to shove). .-= • Recent post by Rebecca @ Diary of a Virgin Novelist: Is it okay to write about your children? =-.

I know the feeling, Kristin. Except I’ve been stuck on Chapter 3 for a few days. My chapter is still unruly, though. May need to wrestle with him a few more days before getting him into a headlock. : )

Good Luck!

Sarah-
Aww, thanks! I’m sure there will be a number of good candidates. Too bad reccos aren’t part of the application!

Sonja-
I honestly hadn’t thought about its gender until I was typing that line, but now for some reason I overall feel like this manuscript is male. (Whereas my YA paranormal ms? Or Twenty-Somewhere? Definitely female, hahaha.) Whatever that means…

#1 should be called The Kenyon Review Annual Short Fiction Contest for Young Adults, as you must be 30 years or younger to enter. Damn ageism!

PS I find it amusing that your chapter is male.
