Re: Be a Better Writer--GIVING AND RECEIVING CRITIQUE
When we were doing critiques in the college class my daughter and I took together, I made the practice of also including a summary of the story or excerpt that I was critiquing.

Re: Top 15 Finalists - Page Turner Contest 2013
I suppose next time the FIction Pageturner comes up, I'm going to have to try writing just the first chapter and synopsis of the story, and then finish it after the contest, just to see how that works for me. I suspect, though, that my characters will nag the daylights out of me, and not let me wait...

Re: 2011 Page Turner Entry Tally
Hadn't even thought about entering this year, and things have been so crazy, I don't think I will.
Maybe by 2013, I'll have something that I think has some real potential of winning.

Well, look at it this way, Karlene. You only know where you placed if you're one of the winners. Otherwise, you won't know if you're 11th of 11, or 4th of 11. However, if you don't enter, then it's guaranteed you'll be 11th of 10. It isn't losing we should be afraid of. It's never doing at all that ...

Congratulations to all the anniversaries out there. It's always encouraging to not only see marriages that are long-lasting, but also ones where the couple is even more nuts about each other than the day they tied the knot.
