I'm sure you'll find inspiration soon.<BR/><BR/>Ver: I'll check and see if they're looking for more teammates. So long as you are willing to fly to America each Wednesday, I'm sure it'll be fine.<BR/><BR/>Beth: In thinking more about your questions, I think I'd actually rather not tell an author how many votes they received. This is only because I do not actually tally this figure. I do hash marks based on the number of points the vote was worth instead. Once the contest concludes, I could give you that figure, if you like (the total point value of votes received) but to give you the number of votes would require me to go through all of the votes all over again, and I'd rather not have to do that. Hope this makes sense.<BR/><BR/>Liz: Indeed, we are already up to eleven!<BR/><BR/>Ces: You are sweet. You already know that I am a fan of your artwork, and you saying such nice things is very touching.

I used to be the extra person that nobody really wanted on their team but they had to make up the numbers and I had this amazing ability to hit the ball straight to first base EVERY TIME. Cool hey?<BR/>I'm glad your novel is working itself out, that's so cool. I'm sure your hands will do wonders. <BR/>And lastly, I'm about to send you my entry.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533913253403252799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-79434637531008269852007-05-04T10:49:00.000-05:002007-05-04T10:49:00.000-05:00I plan to enter as well.

I wasn't sure if my second mean friend maybe had a point about the topic being off.<BR/><BR/>Beth: I certainly would not publish that sort of information, and would not want it published (secret ballots and all) but if you asked, I'd probably let you know the number of total votes you received for your own edification. As to anonymity: all the entries are anonymous until the voting is closed. I'm not sure how you got the idea that they aren't.<BR/><BR/>Minty: Glad you're thinking of cooking up an entry. Look forward to reading it. <BR/><BR/>SilverN: Yeah. One of the people who came with us last night was there because she'd seen him on that show. I find him more interesting than the television program, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by his music.The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-22846811246243293362007-05-04T08:42:00.000-05:002007-05-04T08:42:00.000-05:00Grant Lee Phillips has a minor role in Gilmore Gir...Grant Lee Phillips has a minor role in Gilmore Girls, I really enjoy his character (town troubadour)and I think I will check him out...he's pretty good in the show!Nikki Neurotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699784181113365713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-14745333056849909752007-05-04T08:00:00.000-05:002007-05-04T08:00:00.000-05:00(I didn't mean that you shouldn't fret over my not...(I didn't mean that you shouldn't fret over my not having entered..

I think that kind of feedback is INVALUaBLE for a writer. How many of your fellow writers actually gave a nod your way. I didn't want to know where I was placed, just how many had voted for me.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think fiction contests should be ALL anonymous. Just numbers and no names. In a blogging community, you may be getting picked just because you're well liked, not because you're a good writer ... and vice versa.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335415338155220244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-41882136527991374972007-05-04T07:27:00.000-05:002007-05-04T07:27:00.000-05:00You'll be getting at least one more entry because ...You'll be getting at least one more entry because I plan on submitting one.
