The semi-finalists for ABNA 2011 were announced today.
My YA fantasy novel, White as Snow, made the cut.
It's not over, not by a long shot, but this is as far as I hoped to make it. Out of 10,000 entries, my novel has made it to the top 100. That's the top 1%, and that makes me feel pretty good. I feel validated, if you know what I mean.
Even if I don't make the next cut, I have more confidence in my novel now. I feel like many other people have also found merit in my writing.

Congratulations! That is a great accomplishment. I entered an informal blog contest, and out of 17 entrants, I didn't make the top 5. :/ Humbling much, yes? Good luck with the next phase of judging!
lol, Shelli! Sometimes it's just hard to choose!
