Contest deadline over. Now we wait.

The deadline has come and gone for entries to be posted for the contest. I just checked the Absolute Write website and saw 308 entries. I’ve read some 60 entries so far and there are some terrific writers in the contest. I don’t think I have a snowball’s chance in hell of finishing in the top ten. There are at least 20 entries that I wrote down as being possible winners. What are the odds? Only the judges know, and while they make up theirs minds, I’ll continue to edit my completed novel.
