Secret Agent

Didn't have time to post this afternoon. Work was crazy busy most of today. I only got purposefully hung up on once.

Heee! Today, I submitted the first 250 words of Warped to a contest over at Miss Snark's First Victim. And... I got in. :D

That was the easy part. I hashed over those first 250 words (with much appreciated help from asatomuraki and narniadear) until they were as tight and smooth as they could possibly be, and submitted it at the right time so it could be counted in the contest. You had to submit your entry within a certain time window, and I sent it right at the window's opening this morning. Now that I'm actually entered, here's what will go down:

There are 50 other entrants with the same amount of words from their manuscripts. There will be an agent who looks through them and will basically pick the ones he/she would like to read more of, whether it be the full manuscript, a partial, I saw one from another contest requesting specifically the first 30 pages.

Regardless if I get picked or not, this will be the first time that any of my stuff will be perused by professional eyeballs. It's rather exciting. :) Miss Snark is going to post all of the entrants 250 words on her blog, in individual posts for critiquing.

We'll see what happens. I'm just happy I got in and am so ready for what's next!

P.S. The voting for the THOR icons is up at movie_stillness. Go and vote if you have a minute. :)
