Well this pasted Monday (January 25th) I did the courageous thing and entered a publishing contest. It's called the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.

Doing this allows me to see how good I am with my novels. There are four rounds where judges judge you based on style, originality and so on. You have to present a Pitch (which is like a summary of the novel), an Excerpt (which is the first 5000 or so words of the novel) and the Complete Manuscript).

So as you can see it is a lot but it is worth. I had almost everything done anyway. Since my next novel was already done (I was just adding chapters that could be added to it.) But the Pitch was the hard part because you only had 300 words max to use. And not being good a summarizing I had a terrible time trying to come up with 300 words to describe my novel. To me I needed more than that.

But oh well I managed. So I entered and uploaded everything they needed and voila I entered the contest. So I shall keep my fingers crossed but if I make it all the way to the semifinals and win I get a publishing contract with Penguin (A major Publisher and also the one that published Nora Roberts). I mean that would be awesome.

So wish me luck. Because this would be my ultimate dream come true.
