Yesterday I was getting all emotional-like, telling my husband, tomorrow’s the big day. The Golden Heart/RITA announcements. I don’t have a horse in the race this year, but I have a feeling I’m still going to be refreshing and searching for familiar names.
What can I say? It’s been a wonderful year and it started one year ago today. I know the Golden Heart final isn’t a golden ticket, but…I’d like to think that someone’s dreams are coming true starting today.
So I just had to say good luck and, once the announcements are all out, congratulations! Dream big and aim high, finalists. You’re allowed to.
If you’re a GH/RITA hopeful and want to join the celebration over at the RSS blog, come on by! Everyone’s a bundle of nerves so jump right in.
Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood Golden Heart/RITA cyber-celebration
The Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood is posting call stories for the Golden Heart and RITAs today. About this time last year I was a basketcase. The versions I had submitted after the Golden Heart contest were starting to final, but I didn’t know if I had made the critical changes in time for the GH. Plus I was finding that 4 out of 5 judges tended to score Butterfly Swords well, while one judge would hate it. Exactly the odds I needed for the GH!
