Contests revistited

It appears that I may have been mistaken in the contest results that I entered.  Yes, I did get a thank you for trying email, but that was a try-out for a critique group.  The contest that matters, the one that is being read by published authors, agents, editors I have not heard from them.

They said at their meeting that anyone not a finalists should have their manuscripts back by May 2nd.  Well its' the 7th.  So, by their logic I'm a finalists, right?

Part of me the imaginary fun part has popped the Dom Perignon, broke out the noise makers and is swimming in a sea of glittery confetti.  She is already planning her book signing, contract deals and even a book tour across the entire world.

The sound me has strapped myself to a chair and is chastising the other me for being to quick to draw conclusions.  If I'm wrong and my little package is lost in the beast we call the postal service, I will be crushed (that will be both mes that are crushed).

So, now we wait.... again.
