Good luck to all participants! My genre is adult mystery/suspense, so I'll have to sit this one out. But I do hope there's a great turn out of entries.
I'm entered!
Me too, in Adult Fantasy genre. Not easy, this one.
I'm entered, in the adult sci/fi section. Whoot!
This was a challenge. Mention the setting of Elizabethan England and romance and I've used up half my quota. I'm just thankful for the opportunity.
I'm glad you've all entered. Best of luck!
Woot! I'm entered and that was definitely tricky. Thanks for the challenge/opportunity.
Yup, entered too. :)
It was kinda fun squishing it all down without uh... losing the plot.
How hard was that! Regardless of how I place I was glad to be forced to take my work and squish down like that. Great exercise either way!
Okay stupid question here, I just got back from vacation and saw this and want to enter, went to the submission form and can't figure out how to do it. I only have an hour, could someone possibly send me what are the obvious directions I can't see. If at all possible. I'll be eternally grateful. email at piedmontwriter@gmail.com
I just emailed you Anne. I hope it works for you. :)
Is the writing world all coming down to Twits and Blogs and Faces and the e-versions? Whatever happened to BOOKS?
I agree with the others. What a great exercise this was. I didn't realize it would be so difficult to write one sentence! Thank you.
This was fun! Good luck to all. :) (Still in Twitter-mode.)
My pencil is dull from tapping it against the "enter" key. What will the results reveal? And when, for that matter? My breath is held. (140)
