2015 ABNA . . . not meant to be.

This morning I learned--as did a LOT of other people who'd been checking the ABNA page for an announcement regarding the start of the 2015 contest--that Amazon had decided to forgo the ABNAs this year in lieu of their new Kindle Scout program.

I'm a firm believer in the old adage that when one door closes, another opens.  You just have to find it.

To all my fellow indie authors, I share this ( I don't remember where I got it from, but I saved it):

"When one door closes, another opens.

If it doesn't, try the window.

If the window's locked, break the glass.

If it's barred, claw a freaking hole through the wall."

Don't ever give up.  Don't ever stop writing.  Don't ever lose the fire to share your words, and don't ever be afraid to do so.

Now, go find the damn door with your name on it, and kick that sucker down.
