Am I considered an entrant? I hope so! I did post and received feedback for my pitch line. Thanks!
Yes, Stephanie, and the contest is between you and me, basically, since we were two of the earliest posters and had the best one-liners. (evil grin) Well, it was worth a try. There are, what, more than THREE HUNDRED messages down there in that thread! A great number of the posts are from people I would like to have as critique partners, too, as they came up with great fixes for various entries.
I would hate to have to judge. I only hope that Blogger can handle long comment threads.
I have recently gotten the idea that I should move a scene in my chick lit up from the end of chapter two and make it the second scene in the book. Well, okay, the third (if we define a scene change as "a change of location/venue and/or cast.") Two people have mentioned how much they like that scene, and how it seems to "finally" tie the previous scenes together. (I love that--"finally," as though they don't trust The Author to be going somewhere with this. *pout*) The Muse finally flashed me a message (not literally FLASHED, you understand--been there and seen that, so it wouldn't have gotten my attention the way a plot change does) and boinked me with the proverbial rolling pin, and I'm now changing the transitions to move the scene. It took surprisingly little. Now it "leads into" the second big disaster. I just didn't see until this morning how I could POSSIBLY move that scene, as everything needed to be set up.
But nope. It seems to work fine this way. And now it's one of those fast-moving action flicks! Well, not QUITE. The chick lit equivalent.
*sigh* It's SO hot and we still gotta wait exactly a week for the contest winner. Where's my pie?
