I'm working on something where I will put all my skills to the test--my pride and joy as an individual. And in doing so, I hope I get at least some kind of recognition. Placing 1-100 will do it for me, and I don't care where I place...it's out of thousands of entries, so you can certainly see why I'd be happy anywhere in the top 100. Actually, there will be 1,001 winners...but I want in the top 100.

The deadline is May 15th. I don't feel nervous at all, but I have to step up the work because I only found out about the contest yesterday. Not to mention I have to mail the damn thing...>_> Luckily, though, I didn't have to start from scratch on this entry, so I have a slight advantage with time spent on it. All I need to do is edit and make it better to, well...make it better

The top ten winners will be notified October 20th and be listed in the December issue of the magazine the contest corresponds to.

The Grand Prize is $3,000! AND a trip to New York for three days and two nights, all expenses paid. Then there's actually a first place, and that's $1,000; second, $500; third, $250; fourth, $100; fifth, $50; then sixth through tenth, $25. The rest in the 100 get certificates honoring their accomplishment.

Above all, this specific blog entry to me is sort of like a landmark; I'm marking it for future reference, to see if my ambitions were rewarded in some way. Yet, I'd still be content knowing that I even bothered with the contest because I'm not the kind of person that bothers with such things.

And, who knows...if chance were to wrap itself around me, you all could very well "see" my project for yourselves I know I'm being obscure right now, but I still want you guys to wish me luck in my endeavor!

Oh, and I know what you're thinking: "Well, wouldn't it be wise to tell us what exactly the contest is!?" The answer is "Nah, not really." I don't want you guys to know until the time comes--and it will, whether I won or not. It's just that I don't like setting myself up for failure, you know? You're submitting something you worked really hard on and think it's great, and then when the time comes and you lose...kinda sucks telling those you were telling about the contest that you didn't win; then comes the personal failure and disgrace: This is your area! Why did you lose...? Which brings me to my next cliched point:

I'll be happy knowing I entered my work, regardless of my stance--winner or loser. Just because I'm thinking that, however, doesn't mean I don't want to win, because trust me...I do.

Well, wish me the best, guys...for me and my piece!

Brawl Friend Codes--I need 'em!

Guys, if you'd like to play me, hit me up with your FC! Do keep in mind that I like to play 1-on-1 with NO items, so if that's your thing, add me Of course, that's if I host the game. I'd gladly play with items (though not often) if you guys are the hosts.
