Newbie, entered my first contest!

Hi,

I'm pretty new here. I'm glad to find a good forum to hang out on.

I just entered my first contest. It's a first chapter contest sponsored by Kelli Collins, an editor from Ellora's Cave, for people on Twitter. The winner gets a free critique, and could potentially be offered a contract, if EC likes it enough.

I'm really nervous. I found out that I'm competing against actual, published authors! I posted about this on my blog already....I made a mistake in my synopsis and didn't catch it til after I subbed. Eeek. I did contact her, though, to tell her.

The deadline was Saturday, and I think the results will be announced September 15. It seems like forever! Oh well, back to polishing the ms.

Declan: Bless you! I have made that mistake a bunch of times, including in an email to the aforementioned editor!

I looked at my link, thinking "what, it looks right to me", then I clicked on it. Ugh. The link title was right--wordpress--but for the actual link itself, I put in blogspot. Most of my blogs are with blogger.

So thanks for telling me. Kind of hard to drive traffic to your blog when the link is wrong.
