I'm Back!

Hi all! I'm back, and it was a nice break to get away from the online world for a while. Okay, I'm lying, the first few days I was going mad, but by the end it was indeed good to recharge the mental batteries. And I got ton of writing done, so that was nifty.

Anyway, I'm shocked and honored by all the comments for the random critique contest! I really wasn't expecting so many. Thanks for all your kind words and support. In fact, because I got so many I'll pick a THIRD winner just for funsies.

And now...

The winners of April's Random Critique Contest...

(how long can I drag this out? Is anyone even still reading or have they skipped down? This is a great place for a post break)

The winners are:

Natalie Aguirre

and

Jo-Ann

and

PBuff!

Grats Natalie, Jo-Ann, and PBuff! The random generator gods favored you this month. Just e-mail me at janice (at) janicehardy.com to claim your critique. And again, there's no time limit on sending in those 1000 words, but please let me know that you know you've won.

I'm enjoying these random contests, so I'm going to keep doing them. Next one is a random day in May. Oh hey, I think I'll use my trusty random number generator right now and see which day in May it will be. The next one will be back to the one-day-only type.

Grats again to the winners, and good luck on next month's contest!

    Thank you Janice - not only for the chance to get some awesome feedback on my wip but also for how much you give back.
