Ester Lopez Grubb I'm debating on finishing my edits and doing NaNo. I had gotten so behind that I haven't even started NaNo yet!

Jessie's NaNo Progress

Not as well as I'd hoped. I need a good night's sleep. This time change always messes me up. That's not a good excuse, though.

Contests Update

I'm entering the FF&P Contest: On The Far Side. This is one thing I'm doing for my career. I've sent out my manuscript, "The Abduction," to two editors and one agent. So far, I've received one post card from an editor stating they received my manuscript. Now I play the waiting game while I continue editing the manuscript, getting it ready for the Golden Heart.
