    Authoress, Alicia's email isn't working, even when I try variations.

    Filigree -- That is the correct address. Are you remembering to replace the (at) with the @ sign?

    Yep, and it bounced twice. Tried a third time, and it went through.

    Sounds like a server burp. Glad you got through!

    I completely understand that it is an off-blog critique, but do you have an idea of how many critiques can be anticipated?

    So far I've only had three critiques (and one of those was a helpful log line critique, not of content).

    I'm curious - I was hoping for more...

    I really have no idea, because I don't know the traffic/readership of our host blogs. It's dependent upon that, and upon the host bloggers' advertising. I have tweeted the links to bring in more critiques, but I really don't know what kind of response to ultimately expect. This is a sort of experiment-in-progress...

    I apologize if it came across as a complaint - it wasn't.

    The one issue that was brought up by all who commented on my content is extremely helpful - and if that's all there is, I'm thankful for them!

    Who knows what Day 4 will bring?!

    What is Alicia's website, please? I would love to read (and provide feedback) to the entries posted there.
