The Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award starts accepting entries on the 16th, which is only two days away. Which means I should have my story whipped into shape in 2 days. I'm giving myself 5 at the most (I don't want to risk it filling up early, although I hear that rarely happens).
In my mind, this is me: staying strong right to the end, where I will sprint across the finish line on the 16th (or 19th) full of strength and glory.
It will be a thing to tell the grandkids about!
It will be what I tell all my adoring fans about when I bring home the grand prize!
It will be something I think about on my death bed!
It will result in me celebrating with sushi instead of consoling myself with a large pizza!

But sometimes I worry that this will be me, lagging behind from the start, hopefully squeaking in right before that final deadline in March.
But to be honest, this is probably me, coming in ahead (making the deadline) but with no real idea what is going on.
I'll probably make it in by dumb luck and little else. But in all honesty, I'm okay with that.

I've gotten into ABNA in a timely fashion the last two years, and I don't think that this year will really be that different. It will be a combination of hard work and dumb luck, and there will be times when I feel like that middle picture there, but I'll make it.
And I hope that everyone else entering the ABNA contest does to.
