Just want to give everyone a heads up that I'll be offline for the next week. There were a few real life diagnostics and some How They Do Its scheduled, and I'll get all those done/posted next week instead. (Posts resume April 29)
To make up for it...
RANDOM CRITIQUE CONTEST!
Leave a comment on this post, and I'll randomly choose not one but two folks to win a 1000-word critique from me. No time limit to turn it in. Deadline is 7am EST on April 29th.
Have a great week and I'll see you later.
I look forward to your return at the end of the month. In the mean time, I'm going to get caught up on your archives - so much good info, so little time.
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week.
I stumbled onto your site about a year ago and I can't tell you how helpful all the posts have been.
ReplyDeleteHope your week off is a success! We'll be here when you get back...
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week off and looking forward to your return :D
ReplyDeleteOh Janice, pick me, pick me!!!
ReplyDeleteI will miss reading your post for the next week, but I'll just view this as an opportunity to play catch up with your past entries as well as a time to continue working on my WIP (for you to critique I hope).
I look forward to your return.

ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to win a critique from you. Hope I win.
You will be missed, but hopefully your time away is restful. I kept checking yesterday, thinking "She usually posts on Friday, right?" Forgot how much I enjoy reading your posts until they're gone. Take care.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week off. We'll misd you. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love a critique! Enjoy your time off.

ReplyDeleteThanks for all the helpful information you post here!

ReplyDeleteI really want that 1000 word critique because everyone around where I live thinks, "OH MY GOSH SHE WRITES SO WELL!" It stinks. I get no brutally honest opinions that I ask for.
Anyway, yeah. Hope your week is amazing. I love weeks off, so MAKE THE MOST OF IT!!! :)
Have a fab week. Thanks for the awesome 'site, I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your return :)
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those "stalker readers", haha, but I could really use a critique so I'm finally commenting. Perhaps I shall comment more often. Your site is really great, it encourages and helps me a lot in my writing. Keep up the good work!!
