!!!!
So three months ago, I entered the first 20 pages and synopsis of my fantasy novel Gyrfalcon in the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers' contest... So yesterday evening, a half hour after I got back from my wonderful camping trip, I get a phonecall telling me I'm a finalist! One of six in the Speculative Fiction category. The best part is, all finalists get judged by "an acquiring literary agent or editor who works in the genre". So whether I win or not, I might be able to leverage a little networking out of it! Zounds.
Thanks to grian_ruadh for the original tip about the contest!
Now I'm left contemplating whether it's remotely possible to go to the conference (it's in Colorado), which would blow a big hole in the budget... would it be worth it, could I handle going without ANYBODY I know for moral support... would I be crazy NOT to go...etc.
