Aurgh! I didn't make it ! ! !

The Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest stopped accepting entries in the General Fiction category. I read that at 11:22pm after working for the last 3 days and nights until the wee hours of the morning getting my final edits complete. I'd been checking back and forth because I knew they'd only accept the first 5,000 entries. I was about 10 minutes away from entering when I saw they'd "closed" it. They haven't closed the "Young Adult" entries yet, but my young adult novel is only 26,000 words and they have a 50,000 minimum word count.
I am extremely disappointed. I know they'll be more contests but for tonight............I'm crushed!
