Submitted to contests and the perils of editing

Hello all!
NaNoWriMo ’11 is almost a month behind us, and I’m finally getting the nerve to open up that word document again. I’m happy to say I won again – the first time after my ’09 win – and I feel my first horror novel has some potential.

Many say that writing the novel is the hard part, but right now I disagree! Editing is harrowing, especially when I’ve spent this week devouring the first two books of the Hunger Games, and they are so wonderful they seem to be affecting my writing mojo.

At least I did a little something today — I sent in a short story titled “Lily” to the Dream Quest Writing Contest. Fingers crossed, everyone!
