ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT...

Ok, AFTER I finished a YA entry for next year's SIWC contest based on the guidelines for 2011, I read the guidelines for the 2012 contest in the booklet of this year's winners...and see that for next year, THERE IS NO YA CONTEST! Arghhhh! They're down to three now. Since it's 1330 words, it's too long for a picture book, so I don't really foresee a market for it. Oh, well, I love the story ANYWAY, so this one's just for me, I guess...
