MY FIRST WRITERLY CONTEST!!!

Soooooooo, I did it!  I entered my very first writerly contest a few minutes ago, and I feel great--and nervous, of course.  But overall, I'm feelin' pretty good :)  The contest is Miss Snark's First Victim July installment of Secret Agent.  I've known about it a long time, but never had the cajones to enter.  I know most most of you bloggers/writers probably got past this milestone ages ago.  Getting over the fear of putting your work out there, the paranoia that someone will steal your idea.

*shifts ninja eyes back and forth*

What can I say?  I'm a late bloomer.  The ms I entered is my first (I'm currently querying my second), but I did it you guys!!!

This song describes how I feel to a tee :)  I don't expect to win or anything, but maybe I'll get some good feedback that will in the end make me a better writer.  And YAY for courage!  Baby steps, you know?

Have a great one!
