The Quarter Finalists Were Announced...And I'm One of 'Em!!!
Okay all my wonderful wingnuts. I'm floating on cloud nine, jumping up and down for joy and doing the happy dance and all that crazy stuff. Believe me, you should see me trying to type and hop around doing the happy dance. It's funny and you'd get a real kick out of it.
If you follow this link here, you'll see why...
I can hardly contain myself and for anyone who knows me, that's getting pretty serious there.
Okay, okay...Now I'll get off the crazy horse and into more stable territory if that's something I can manage. I seriously doubt it because...And hey, gimme a drum roll here...
I'm a QUARTER FINALIST IN THE AMAZON BREAKTHROUGH NOVEL AWARD CONTEST!!!!!
And did I mention the happy dance that I'm doing right now?
For those who don't know or don't care or anything else, this is a HUGE chance for a starving artist like moi. It's like the job promotion of a lifetime. I win this, and I've just been validated, congratulated and well paid for my efforts all in one fell swoop.
Picture this all you of the upwardly mobile:
You've been working your tail off to try to get off the bottom rung of the ladder...Nights, weekends, holidays...The whole nine or even ten because you've really been giving the extra effort.
Then one day your boss calls you in to his or her corner office, the one with all the windows and the stellar view of the city lights, and you go trudging in with all the enthusiasm of a person facing a firing squad.
He or she looks stern and you cringe, certain that you've just been canned and you start searching your memory trying to discover what mistake you could've made to get the sack. Then they look at you from over the rim of their edgy and ultra chic glasses, smile slightly and inform you that you've just been handed the opportunity of your life. Someone noticed your work and was floored and impressed by it and you've just been given the chance to skip several rungs of the ladder.
That would've been years of grueling work and sacrifice and you've just been given the chance to have your talents and hard work recognized. Wouldn't you be screaming like an idiot and doing a jig, too?
Even if you wouldn't, I would be and I AM!!! Soooo, follow the link that I've placed at both the top and bottom of this post for your convenience...Like that? Smooth transition, huh? You can feel free to be wowed and impressed by it, too. :D
