ReplyDeleteWoah, what fabulous prizes. Well done to all theentrants and the winners. This crop of openings was such a high calibre, I'm glad i was nt the one doing the choosing.
ReplyDeleteLate to the party! But I really wanted to thank everyone for the very thoughtful and helpful comments. I've completely redone my opening and learned so much from the comments. And they were nice comments--not bashing ones, which often only immobilizes a writer rather than helping. Thanks again authoress for having these. One day!-One day!shelley
