Sorry, must be the love scene I'm FINALLY finishing. Good luck in the GE. My CP is nagging me to enter, but . . . not right now. Trying to get the full out the door and finish the current WIP.

I talked to Sasha and Sylvia today and I realized something. The most fun I had writing a ms. is the one I said I'm gonna write whatever I want (IT was CDC btw) and screw the rules. Now, needless to say, I ended up editing (that old marketable rule reared it's ugly head) but it's still one of my fave stories. And it's all over the board in contests. I told Sasha today that the first contest I entered it in (The GE) I bawled when I got my results. And why is it they always have the editors I want in the categories I shouldn't enter --like single title. Yes, you heard me right. I do much better in mainstream than ST. And I'll be one of the first round judges in mainstream for the Yellow Rose because I don't like the score sheet (it's my chapter) and I figure at least that's one chick lit friendly/open minded judge. Did I say that out loud....I'm rambling LOL Love the Loser smiley......

I just really went with one of those powerful gut feelings on this -who knows if it will pan out, but I tend to live by those. It's actually the first time I looked at a contest with a business minded purpose in terms of editors. What the heck, right? It'll give me something to blog about, at least - LOL. And the contest thing seems to be working well for you! Good stuff for the query letters *g* We can wait together, Cece!

I get scores like you, too. I received a 98 out of 100 and then a 50. Okay, that is something to be upset about. I entered The Gotcha again this year with Saving Grace. I'm hoping they like it as much as they did AIT. Best of luck on your entry. Jerri Steph, you know a contest win got me my full request with Shannon for AIT. I get scores like you, too.
