This will not be my normal style of blog post since I just want to meet more people. Well, that is my general goal from making these posts in the beginning, but….
On a whim I applied for Sewanee’s Young Writing Conference. (more like I decided to on a good feeling) I sent in all of the stuff and started to worry. At the beginning I knew I had no chance. For me I felt that it would just be a good opportunity to fail. It would have been my first rejection too. Over time though I thought about it and maybe just maybe there could have been a chance. I mean, after all I made a pretty great letter saying how cool I was.
I thought I would have to wait for a reply for months but less than two weeks later I got a reply. I got in!! I mean this was one of the happiest days of my life. I was set. Going to become a traditionally published author now! No one is going to stop me! Then I calmed down after a week. It was one of the reasons that I gave myself the Shut up! Challenge. In order for me to stop bragging about writing stuff.
In the end, please comment if you are going to Sewanee Young Writers Conference. That would be really cool to talk before hand. I kinda feel weird hopping on a plane to a state that i have never been to, and not knowing anyone who will be at the airport.
See you next time! And hopefully it will be a better post.
