2011 Debut Author Challenge

Everyone on the planet knows the old saying "were you living under a rock?", right? Well, unless you were living under a rock, I guess. Anyway, that's what I feel like I've been doing: living under a rock. Because I had no clue until I visited the awesomeness that is Y(A)? Cuz We Write! that there was such a thing as the 2011 Debut Author Challenge. I know, ridiculous. Don't worry, I've caned and stoned myself already.

So I decided to sign up for this little challenge, mainly because I love to read (well, really it's because Pam and Quita did, and I wanna be them when I grow up), but also because I think these types of things are great networking tools for us peons to mingle with the Bloggerdom Elite. We can rub elbows with published authors taking part in the challenge, agents who love to read debut books, and of course other peons like us.

So I implore everyone...go forth and enter the 2011 Debut Author Challenge today. You even get a cute little button for your sidebar (see mine down, there on the left? nice, right?). Come on, I think it's gonna be great!
