Newsflash!

Okay, so JanNoWriMo didn't quite work out how i planned....but namely because about halfway through the month, I FINISHED MY WRIMO NOVEL!!! So yes, that means i have officially finished a complete novel now. Of course, it requires lots of editing, and i'm only partway through reading it for the first changes. I already know i'm adding at least two chapters and majorly changing some parts. But it's finished! Finito! Finisce!! Yeah, you can tell i'm excited. Still. A month later practically. Anyways. Other writing news....I reworked my play to make it a bit longer and in the proper format, and sent that in to a contest held by the BPS. Funny thing is, when they sent out the email being like "thank you for your submissions, results will be posted April1st" i (being the competitive creep that i am), decided to count the email addresses to estimate the number of entrees (because people could submit more than one play). So i'm counting, and counting (there were 40, btw), and guess whose email i should come across? CREWDSON'S! So apparently we both submitted plays to the same contest. Now i just have to hope that either neither or both of us win. Because if just she wins, i'll feel pissy, and if just i win, she'll probably hate me. So really, i should try to be optimistic, and hope that we both win. Ideally. Because then i could get a nice Sony Vaio Laptop for myself. *sigh* Ah well, like i said, i shall remain hopeful and idealistic until the results are posted. But i think they'll hate mine.
