So, do you want to enter two competitions? If so, go for it. If you want to be traditionally published, you have to keep at it. I queried for 4 years before deciding to go Indie. If you simply want to publish your book and stick to your own idea, then going the self-published (indie author) route could work out. But it is all about what you really want. If you really want to do something, but your fears are holding you back, definitely chase your dream. Don't let anything or anyone hold you back. Good-luck.
