  2. Sent!

    This was the only other completed manuscript I had. I'm really looking forward to this contest. >_<

    Any of my other works in progress won't be ready for a long while yet. :P

  5. This might be a dumb question - if we have two completed manuscripts that fit in this category, may we submit both? This is my first time entering so I want to do this right.

  12. When you write "Romance, including paranormal and historical" does that include Romantic Suspense?

  14. I so much want to send mine but, alas, it's not finished enough. I do hope similar categories will be there next round.

  15. Sent mine off yesterday morning, but only after my sweaty palm slipped from the mouse a few times :-)

  16. Missed again, darn it, but I don't have anything ready in those genres. Better luck for me next time, and good luck to everyone who entered. =o)

  17. It's early in the morning here, but I have a question.
    Will all the successful entrants have been notified by now?

    This was my first time entering one of these.

  18. Sue, all entrants receive an email with their post number for the contest. And all entrants who miss the cut-off are notified.

    If you didn't hear from me, I didn't receive your entry. Or you may want to check your spam box to see if my response ended up there.

  19. Nothing in my spam box.

    Rats, rats, rats....I'm really bummed, because I know my category doesn't come up all that often.

    *cries*
