It’s Golden Heart Day March 25, 2008
Today is the day that all Golden Heart finalists will be notified via telephone and I must say that I’m a nervous wreck. It’s not even so much that I want to final (which I do) but the NOT KNOWING is killing me right now. When the day ends if I haven’t gotten a call I’ll be disappointed, but at least I’ll have closure.
In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s the scoop: the Golden Heart is an international contest sponsored by the Romance Writers of America to recognize outstanding unpublished manuscripts. There are 10 categories and each will have approximately 10 finalists. The winners are then announced at the RWA National Conference at a ceremony on the final night (this year, August 2 in San Francisco). I entered into the “Contemporary Series Romance” category - just in case you were wondering.
So, here I am, trying to work while sneaking longing glances at the phone… Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Well, it’s now 9:20 PM Central time so I guess we can safely assume I will not be getting a phone call. 
Oh well…maybe next year!
Don’t give up hon!! You have it in you…you are so talented…stay diligent. I am glad you had a great time in Paris…I, too, am jealous..but happy for you. We need to do coffee…call me sometime.
