Well, I’m dealing with the disappointment of not getting into the first round of “Speed Dating with Deidre.” I didn’t even get the consolation prize, a chance to send in a one-page query.
However, life — and the querying process — will go on. So will the nerve-wracking process of entering contests.
None is more nerve-wracking — for me, at least — than the Golden Heart. But I cleared another hurdle in that process: I mailed in my entries … all 654 pages of them, plus a disc with each full MS, a week ago Monday.
That's a lot of paper!
That’s what they looked like stacked together. Singly, they looked like this:
Two entries, complete with synopses.
Still pretty impressive, eh? Nothing like requiring a couple of trees to make the supreme sacrifice to the Golden gods. 😉
Anyway, I checked with the Post Office today, and delivery confirmation said my entries were delivered on Nov. 24.
Delivery confirmed!
Now, the wait begins.
Since I volunteered to judge this year, I suspect at least some of my fretting time will be usurped. I’m not complaining!

Isn’t it the most amazing thing to see your work printed out and stacked up like that? My favorite part of the process!
It does look good that way … even though that’s only 6 copies of each of the first 50 or so pages.
I just printed out a copy of Kenny & Kristi’s story and put it in a notebook. But you know that. We were discussing the industrial-sized 3-hole punch.
