Congratulations to the 2010 Golden Heart Finalists!

/

I wanted to take a break from my regularly-scheduled silence to congratulate the 2010 Golden Heart finalists! The Golden Heart is a special contest, and the finalists are a special group of writers. If the experience of the 2010 nominees is anything like mine, you will have the opportunity to meet a wonderful group of women who are all working very hard to achieve their dreams -- and are also kind, funny, supportive, generous, and eager to find kindred spirits in this strange, surreal process. For the latest list of names and our great cyberparty, check out the '09 Golden Heart finalists' blog: http://www.rubyslipperedsisterhood.com. I'll also post congrats to the Regency/historical finalists when the names come out.

Congratulations again (especially to my fellow Regency writers!) and enjoy the ride!

P.S. To my loyal readers (hello Mom) -- I’ve shamefully neglected the blog, but I have plans to resurrect it. Stay tuned next week!

UPDATE as of 11:10am PDT: The Historical finalists (not sure if it's all of them yet?) are up on the RWA website. Still no sign of the Regency list - I'm glad I didn't enter this year, the suspense would be killing me!
