Amazes me

Oct. 27 and a little over 2 weeks until the voting begins. I'm amazed by all that goes into being a finalist in the American Title II Contest. Voting for the first round starts November 14. Just around the corner. I still have so much I want to do before then!

I've created my web site and blog, which I didn't possess before this contest. I'm learning tons but it feels like a crash course ( according to my dictionary a "concerted effort and effected in the shortest possible time" -- exactly.

At the same time, I wouldn't trade it. I'm having fun with friends who are giving me amazing support. Preparing for the contest finals creates time-consuming, hard work. Worth every minute for the generosity of friends. Meanwhile, when I catch a spare moment, I'm having a great time thinking of goodies for "thank you's".

I need to get back to work. On my website "Books" page, I'll be adding an excerpt from my contest entry, SEDUCTION. Check it out. ;-)
