Pitch Wars pt 2

I've never written so much, polished so much, and created so much in such a short time before. But this morning at about 11 am, after hovering my mouse over the submit button for what seemed like hours, I finally clicked. I'm in Pitch Wars.

Why is this such a big deal? Why am I so anxious? Pitch Wars IS submitting to agents. It's just a real as if I sought out the agents myself and submitted. The rejection or acceptance will be just as real. And the consequences of my success will be just as real if I can get a mentor. If one of them likes my work, sees potential in it, it could finally open the door for me. I could finally start that long, hard road to publication.

So, yeah. I'm a little anxious. I won't know anything until October, so I have until then to occupy myself with getting everything as polished and pretty as I can. With being ready to give them the manuscript at a moment's notice. With being ready to work my tail off to get this book off the ground!

But I don't have time to dwell on that. After all, I won't hear a word until October, so I need to turn my focus to this Friday. Yes... it's Saboten Con and if you're in Phoenix, AZ this coming Friday, stop by the Sheraton hotel at 4pm to catch my panel. I'm teaming up once more with Smash Fiction creator Miles Schneiderman and his awesome wife Sharon to host Surprise Party, with prizes provided by Bookman's in Phoenix. 

Man... I'm excited. I love being in front of groups. I love performing. I love telling stories. This will be my biggest audience yet and my best chance to get my name out there. I'm headed out tomorrow, so expect a shorter post. And until then...

​Don't Forget to be Awesome!
