You said Monday, May 13th. Monday is the 14th unless I'm in the wrong year:)
ReplyDeleteAck! Thank you! Apparently I'm the one in the wrong year. :)
DeleteThat's not too bad. I thought today was Saturday. Imagine my shock when I found out it was Tuesday. Timewarp...
DeleteLOL! I'm glad it's your bad. Too many times, I forget what year it is!!
DeleteLOL I'm to the point where I say whatever day it currently is outloud, several times. Like, "Wednesday. Wednesday. Wednesday." It's THAT hard to keep track anymore!
DeleteI can't wait to see the entries.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for putting these on for us querying authors! Excited to see all the entries!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this <3
ReplyDeleteHave you let "The Chosen Ones" know that they made it yet?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a lottery--unless an entry didn't qualify, it's in!
DeleteWhat about doing this in two parts? 50 this week and then another 50 the following, since you got a ton of entries? Perhaps agents won't be in it for the second week, then again, maybe they will, but the feedback from fellow writers would still be beneficial.
ReplyDeleteThese contests are planned months in advance, so the agents can get them on their schedules. I will host another one later this year!
DeleteAlso, I host in-house critiques (no agents) from time to time, so make sure you're subscribed to the blog so you don't miss the announcements for those.
nice post
