Today I submitted the #NaNoWriMo 2013 Novel, Nora Waite for the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. I have to be honest, the chances of me winning are pretty slim. I would be excited to just be entered in the second round. Just a chance to have a novel I am entering ANYwhere is pretty shocking. There is a voice, one I try to silence, that says I would never be able to accomplish anything so massive as writing a full novel.
Ok, it doesn't set the world on its ear.
Ok, it may need SERIOUS editing... (amateur, free editors may apply)
BUT it is my own. I wrote it start to finish. I won the NaNoWriMo.
And the voice in my head that says I can't? It's a bit quieter.
How can you silence your inner nay-sayer?
DO it. Don't wait.
