In reply to Kelly Hyatt. Lol Kelly! I used to wonder if the reason I kept entering was because I was a secret masochist too. But I have daughters as well and yep, if nothing else, you have to keep believing in you so you can show them how it's done, right? Good luck with the comp this year!

I entered because I love to torment myself…no, just kidding. I loved your tips and you reminded me of something I tell my daughters; “If you don’ t believe it, nobody else will either.” So I believe!

Thanks for the fun post. <3

Great tips! Last year, I’ll admit I entered to win… but didn’t. This year having some feedback and getting the editors eyes on it is a wonderful opportunity.

Excellent tips.

my goal entering SYTYCW last year was simply to give myself a hard deadline to finish the first draft! Not making the second tier didn’t even hurt that way.

And a couple weeks later when the call back came — sooooo much sweeter!
