LJ Idol Presents:

I was certainly hoping to win it, but you just never know how things are going to swing with the poll! Last season I was solidly middle of the pack the entire time I played, and made it to the top 10. This time around I managed to top quite a few polls - which was really neat and surprising for me - and got exactly as far. Some combination of me being away (and therefore not as interactive and stuff), a longish and surreal story which got mixed reactions, and a lot of VERY strong competition made for a tight squeeze there at the end.

I got two rejection letters this morning, too, for two different stories, so that was fun, I'm feeling a little bit like it might be time to pull back from writing and go full force into editing and chopping things up to make them better somehow. I dunno. We'll see.
