Wow! I can't believe you remember that! New Voices... The good old days! And no, I still don't understand why you didn't advance. But hey, you won the ultimate prize, because look at you now! I'm very proud of you! :) You are a prime example that persistence pays off! Something I've been telling myself for years and years now... ;)

@AmyMNewman oh! Well then I will keep my fingers crossed!! And you're welcome. I remember you helped talk me off the ledge after New Voices kind of blind-sided me(that's the drawback to getting a crapton of glowing praise from everyone-- not advancing was majorly confusing...).  But I remember and appreciate it still four years later. So make sure to tell me when I can pimp your book! And thank you, I always want to pay back the help I got :;)

In this round the judges will pick the top ten out of the top twenty-five, so no voting. Fingers crossed I make it through this round, but there are a lot of good stories on the list! The winner will be picked from the top ten by votes only! And I wanted to say, thank you so much for your support! It really means a lot to me! Also, I don't think I would be where I am without your bootcamps! Thank you so much for those!
