I didn’t win the Chase the Dream contest, but I’d like to thank all of you who took the time to cast a vote. It was such a nice surprise to even be nominated that it has inspired me more than I ever thought a contest placement could. And even though I didn’t win, both an agent and an editor have asked to see more of this project, which is really exciting. If you’d like to read the winners’ entries, click here.

Meanwhile, I suppose I should start Christmas shopping one day soon. The big day is going to be here way too soon. 😮 How about you? Are you finished buying? Wrapping? Baking? Or are you a procrastinator like me?
