9 days until the end of the contest and I'm beyond proud to say that I've received SEVENTY-NINE preorders! That's crazy! It still blows my mind that 79 people think "The Elements: Descension" is worth reading, and paying for. 

And I've met so many awesome people in the past few weeks. From those halfway across the country (like Jodhan Ford, Dave Barrett, John Robin, Janna Liggan, and Andrew Ainsworth) to those just down the street (like A.C. Weston)! It helps when you know that you've got an incredible community of writers cheering you on. 

While I may not be at all close to making the leader board, the support I've received from a bunch of random people I've never met is incredible. And that makes me feel like I actually have a shot in the long run, because that's what this is all about, right? 

I promise you all, once this competition is done, I won't give up. You will see The Elements Trilogy on the shelves on day. I guarantee it. 

Sincerely,

Lauren
