I'm still ready to shred Camilla, but I'm holding off so far.<BR/><BR/>But, to add insult to injury, the person who one my category got an editor request. <BR/><BR/>*sigh*<BR/><BR/>Of course, had it been me, I would have be a wreck because Camilla isn't anywhere finished!<BR/><BR/>Charity - I had to snicker a bit about the person who had a problem with a thief as hero. Nora Roberts did it in one of her books.<BR/><BR/>And, Mary, thanks for the laugh! I needed it!<BR/><BR/>MeMarianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-1124025974756963922005-08-14T09:26:00.000-04:002005-08-14T09:26:00.000-04:00Your FIRST contest and you came in FOURTH!!!

You did great and don’t you dare ...Are you kidding? You did great and don’t you dare shred your story. Remember, there’s more than one editor at any publishing house. Should I tell you of my first contest experience, where one of the first round judges called my hero, my story, and *me* immoral because I dared to have a thief as a hero? I think that may be my all time low score (a 68 out of 150--I suck! LOL). <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine has a saying: the right story, on the right desk, at the right time. You’ll find that combination. I know it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
