The RITA and Golden Heart finalists were announced yesterday. On the list were several writers who post here sometimes, including Melanie Scott (2x GH finalist) and Caridad/Barbara Ferrer, among others. Hearty congratulations, you guys.
And to everyone on the list. I’m delighted to see so many fresh faces this year, and much younger feeling list.
Yay to Mel!
*blushes* Thank you! And many, many kudos and congrats to everyone who both finaled and ENTERED the Ritas or the GH– it takes a lot of guts to send your baby out to be judged by other readers. It’s terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time.
And so, so sweet, in that Sally Field sort of way when you find out that even one judged liked it. 🙂
What Barb said X 2. It’s been a crazy week. Congrats to everyone who finalled. I’ll see you in Dallas!
