...should i do awards to get more people to read my book?? It would be an actual awards thing of course, one of the rewards would be a review for whatever book they submitted, and a collage that represents their main character, and/or a character of their choosing. The main payment would be to read Heliotrope n comment something helpful on every chapter. 
          	
          	It would be a small thing, so not a lot of categories. Probaly three slots for each, anddddddddddddddddddd like three, maybe five categories total? Categories would be typical stuff like fantasy, worldbuilding, etc, but it would also be cool to do one like "best character" and whatnot!! 
          	
          	Thoughts??

Trying to write Chapter 10 of Heliotrope. About 1.5k words in. Almost done. In the process of trying to write chapter 10 I realized I needed to split what I had planned into 10 and 11, which pushes back the original chapter 11 to chapter 12. Good news, the new chapter 11 should hopefully come pretty fast, since it's the sort of chapter that I adoreeeeeeee writing.
