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.
We'll miss you!! ;-)
Enjoy your week.
I stumbled onto your site about a year ago and I can't tell you how helpful all the posts have been.
Hope your week off is a success! We'll be here when you get back...
Hope you have a great week off and looking forward to your return :D
Oh Janice, pick me, pick me!!!
I 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.

Yay! I'm in! Have a great break! : )

A critique from you!
You deserve it.

I hope you enjoy your week off.
Oooh, a critique would be awesome! :) Enjoy your break.
Put my name in the hat. :)
Enjoy your break!
Your blog has helped me enormously, so I'm looking forward to when you're back. Enjoy your break!
Enjoy your time off. You deserve it. I can't believe how regularly you post. Hope all is well.
I'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.
Enjoy your week off. We'll misd you. :)
I would love a critique! Enjoy your time off.
I hope you are vacationing somewhere warm and sunny. Your dedication to other writers through this blog is amazing. Enjoy your much deserved time off.
Have a good week, we'll be waiting for you. Looking forward to the posts to come.
Enjoy your time off! Looking forward to new posts in May.
Me, please. :)
Your posts are quite helpful to read. Thank you for the chance for a critique!
I will miss your inspirational posts, but the good thing is there is a ton of information already on your blog that I can go back through. Enjoy your time off and have a great week!
Have a great week! Hope it's all fun :)
Thanks for all the helpful information you post here!
I'd love a critique. Enjoy your break!
HAVE FUN ON YOUR WEEK OFF!!!!
I 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.
Looking forward to your return :)
I'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!!

Hey, I'm leaving for a while too! Going to study abroad in Mexico for 3 weeks. Should be fun! And awesome!! Can you tell I'm excited???
I hope I win the critique. I have something for it...
Hope you enjoy your week off! I love reading your posts... so much good information, so little time to absorb it all... :D
Best wishes for an "all's well" week!
Janice Hardy's Heroes will survive by raiding your well-stocked archive.
ow. my throat hurts.
Your posts have been so helpful and inspiring! Blogging is hard work and you do it so consistently. Have a great week off! I would love a critique from you!
I am praying that your week off gives you the rest you need, and whatever you are doing during the time off happens with a great result for you. Have a blessed day.

Take care of yourself. That's all I have to say.
Have a great time. I've been keeping, sharing and enjoying your posts. I'm partial to the HFM post, specifically. If only I could finish!
Critique? Oh, yes, please! Will definitely look forward to you getting back too :)
I really enjoy your blog.
Hope you have a good break:)
Enjoy the break, Janice!
See you when you return. :)
See you in a week! :)
Have a great break. See you when you get back.
Have a great break. I really enjoy the posts you do here, and I look forward to seeing what you post when you get back. :-)
Have a restful and productive break, but hurry back to us. Your articles are so helpful. I love your blog! (And I would really love the critique.)
Oh, Janice, go enjoy a week away from it all. You certainly deserve it! I would love a critique, but there are so many of us! I'll just toss my hat in the ring and cross my fingers. :)
Hope your vacation is everything you need and hope for.
Hope your well-deserved break is restful and satisfying. :)
Have a nice week off. I look forward to your return.
Oh and please pick me.
Have a nice week off. Thanks for the contest.
Wishing you a lovely and relaxing week. :-D
Hope you're getting a break! Thank you :)
A whole week off-line? Are you nuts? Don't you know the world will collapse and you'll have no way of knowing???? ;-)
Enjoy your cyberless week. We'll *sniffle* try to manage without you.
Enjoy your week off! Personally I think I'd go crazy a week without the internet so I'm kind of jealous of those who can unplug!
What a BRILLIANT blog! I love all the information. And I'm guessing you always get comments like this, so here's something random: obvious sunlight!
Have a great week.
Have a great week off.
I've just tweeted the giveaway. :)
Have a great week.
Have a lovely week! We'll miss you. :)
Let me guess ... Going offline for a week is #3 in your "Ways To Be a More Productive Writer" series. :-)
Enjoy the break.
Enjoy your week! Thanks for the chance to win a crit. :)
Hope you have a fantastic week. Blue Fire arrived in the mail, and I hope to get right to it after I finish the book reviews I'm buried under!
Enjoy your week off!
Have a good vacay! Thanks for the chance to win a critique!
A week off would be fabulous but I think my kids would complain if I stopped making food for them. lol. Enjoy your offline time.
Janice, Your blog has been as informative and helpful as a writing course. I visit daily.
A crit from you would be wonderful.
I hope the winner appreciates it.
Thanks for all your advice and hard work Janice, really hugely appreciated. Have a great week off.
Have a great week off! I too will be catching up with your archives. Your blog entries have been extremely helpful, especially as I tackle this round of revisions.
Enjoy your time off. We'll look forward to your return!
We'll miss you. Enjoy your time unplugged and know we'll be waiting when you get back. :)
I am so indebted to Stina Lindenblatt for her blog posts. Through them, I was able to find your site. What a wealth of information! Thank you so much for all that you do for aspiring writers like myself!
Cathy Jo
Enjoy your break, Janice!
I hope you have a good week and I'm very much looking forward to your return!!
Enjoy your time off. We'll be here to welcome you back!!
I'm so in :) Do something fun with your break.
Hope your minnie vacation rocks!
Thanks for everything you do. I hope this week off is what you needed!
Perfect timing. I'm just coming back from an extended blog break of my own so now I'll have time to get caught up on the posts I missed.
Of course, winning a critique would be great.
Oooh, winning a critique would be fabulous. And while I wait, I'll browse, if that's okay. Looks like you have lots of helpful advice.
Enjoy your time off! I've found your blog to be chock-full of useful information.
Thank you for paying it forward.
Joy Moore

Enjoy your week as much as I enjoy your posts (that's a lot).
Gosh, how could anyone resist entering? Enjoy your week off!
So crossing my fingers! You always give the best writing tips, I can only imagine how great a critique from you would be. :)
Hope you have a great week off!
