March 31st is the deadline to submit the first 5,000 words of a novel.

And I’m so close.

If you win, there’s a big $ prize… and something even more priceless, feedback.

I’ve wrestled with this for a while now. Changed my genre a bit, tweaked a little of this and a lot of that.

So now the question is, am I brave enough to do the final touches… and hit submit?

I know darn good and well the chances are slim. But I still think it’s worth taking the plunge.

So what’s the risk?

Not losing.

Getting in my head and deciding it isn’t good enough to keep going. To finish my novel.

Because I’ve already written more than 5,000 words… and I have so much more to go.

I’m not just writing a book. I’m learning how to write one while I’m writing it.

Boy howdy… is this a challenge or what?

Anyhoooo… I’m excited. I’ve been working hard, and it feels like something.

So my dear readers… I could sure use a prayer and some good thoughts coming my way.
