  2. It will vary greatly, since I obviously can't sit here and watch the submissions roll in. :) I've confirmed the first 10 so far. My goal is to not let more than a couple of hours pass. I'll do my best to stay on top of this.

  3. What!? You don't sit at your computer all day slavishly devoted to your readers? I'm shocked.

    You're doing great!

  4. You could do an auto-reply, "out-of-the-office" style. But change the reply to simply -- I got it!

  5. Glamis m'lady -- I try to have a life sometimes, yes. :)

    Anon -- I can't use autoreply because I assign a post number to each entry. Also, I don't want gmail to spit out autoreplies after we've reached the 75 mark, so I've got to stay on top of it.

    Wanna send me some chocolate to make it all better? :D

  10. Should we place bets on how long it takes to reach 75 entries? I'm guessing way before the 24 hours is up.

  11. Well, Serenissima, we're 2 hours in and over 1/3 of the way there already.

    Not that I'm surprised. :)

  14. Okay. After some reviewing and editing, hopefully I didn't add errors, I've sent something in. It's the same opening as last time, but I've edited things and changed things. We'll see how it goes over.

  15. I hope you got mine--I know you are very busy. I haven't received a confirmation--and wondered--I sent it this morning.

  16. Popping in to wish everyone good luck! Oh, yes, and to deliver some choccolate for our gracious hostess. :)

    Can't wait to read the new batch.

  18. Karrie -- I just checked.

    Assuming "Karrie" is your screen name, I did send you a confirmation email. Check your spam box.

  22. I sent mine in (tremble) and just would like to know how I go about reading the submissions. Or do we get to read them at all.

    Sorry, but being new, I have no clue.

  24. I'm sitting this one out due to needing to spend more time with my manuscript, but I can't wait to critique and to read others' critiques. I've learned so much from this blog...thank you Authoress.
