Finally about twenty minutes ago got my "dear writer, we didn't pick you" letter from Amazon. The day after I was supposed to be notified, but whatever. Perhaps this is sour grapes speaking, but frankly, I think it's a crock they didn't pick 1000 semifinalists as they said they would, and I'm annoyed that they didn't email me yesterday--and that there were at least another 80 or so people in the same boat as me, last time I checked.

*shrug* Whatever. I always knew Penguin wasn't the best publishing house for a fantasy novel, anyway. Now I've got the freedom to really revise the novel the way I wanted to and market it somewhere better.
