Enough witty people to entertain and intimidate me. And that's how I met met you, Hart -- cyberly speaking. So it was worth it. But I am SO DEFINITELY glad I'm not going for it this year, for the same list of reasons (panic, sweat, dread, hope!) that you list. ENORMOUS good luck to you, and here's to seeing your name among the finalists!Helenahttp://www.becominglayla.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-87179590281372378982011-01-18T16:09:27.608-05:002011-01-18T16:09:27.608-05:00oh dear, I suppose this isn't too much differe...oh dear, I suppose this isn't too much different thatn the odds of sending it over and over again to different agents and publishers only to be rejected over and over again. As if we were in third grade and had to try out for the choir or glee club or whatever. And we never get to just grow up and be accepted as we are. I get panicky and freaked out just reading it and I'm NOT IN IT - you are! GAWD!!! good luck and anything I can do short of doing it give me a buzz. I'll vote for you or whatever. Rah rah...excruciating. I adore you that you will try this again.
