Matt's Foray into his Dream Job

Matt's ultimate dream career is to be a successful writer. He's working on at least five books currently with another 5 or so ruminating around in his stellar little head. This week marks his first exposure to the writing world via two contests he's entered. One is being sponsored by Amazon and is looking for a full-fledged novel. The second is being sponsored by a local non-profit writing group and is looking for a 1000-word story. So Matt's thrown his proverbial hat or manuscripts into the ring and now we wait and see what, if any, feedback he gets. The Amazon one, I think, Matt would just be happy to make it past the first cut, seeing how it's his first novel. The second one, I might post sometime since I really like it and it's a lot more blog-post-length friendly than the former.
