But apparently Amazon.com has a Breakthrough Novel award every year. Who knew? They have a general fiction and a young adult fiction category. I guess the winners are really happy hahah
Here's some info: Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel Award

As I some of you may know, I participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) every year. Or, well, for at least the past two years. I have 'won' both years - having completed a 50,000+ word manuscript between November 1-30. My first year I wrote about a certain character, and the second year (this past November), I wrote about her again. I do kind of have a trilogy planned. We'll see if I can even muster up enough creativity for the third one hahah

I am not going to pretend my novels are so goooooood and that everyone should read them. I really, honestly think they both suck and the people who have said they were good were just being nice. I don't think I'll ever believe it if someone tells me they like it. I will wholeheartedly believe when someone tells me they dislike it.

That doesn't stop me from coming up with plots and characters. I have a head full of ideas!
Bad ideas.
But ideas!
