ABNAness

January 16th, 2008

I have not received a letter of congratulations (as did my friend Justin) nor is Citadel of the Sky listed among the 836 posted finalists. I’m pretty confident that I have NOT made it to the semifinals.

I am rather sad.

I have a lot of stuff to think about. For example, I think perhaps I should go ahead and submit Citadel to agents to at least get some practice doing that with my practice novel. I don’t know exactly how I want to go about doing that yet. Maybe I should have somebody else read the revised version first, but I’m not sure, since I don’t know if I have the stomach for more Citadel revision right now.

There’s a reviewing contest associated with ABNA. The 3 people who write the most high quality reviews get a Kindle and a $2000 AC gift certificate. I’d love a Kindle and GC but I suspect the competition will be fierce.

I’m going to start work on another couple of projects.

    Aw, sorry to hear about not hitting the finals. :/

    Beta reading is a good thing, and when you’re up for it, I’d recommend another pair of eyes on Citadel, yeah. But in the meantime it sounds like working on other projects is a wise idea.

    I’m really sorry to hear that, Soula. :( Good luck with the new projects — sounds like setting Citadel aside for awhile and working on a fresh project might be a good break.
