Due to an issue while setting up the widget for
the evening
submission time, we've decided to open the widget up to accept 25
more entries
into the contest. When
running such a
large scale contest, something can go wrong. And it did.
We apologize for the roller coaster of emotions
this type of an
event can cause, but happy that we can try and make it up to you.
A thing about contests, they're a great way to
get to know
your fellow writers, get critiques, break out of an agent's slush
pile, and develop
a tough skin for the rocky road of publishing ahead of you. It's how many of the coaches
for The Writer's
Voice developed their skills. And all of us are now agented. We do
this,
because we love this community, and we want all of you to succeed
at your
writing goals.
With that said, at 12PM EDT (noon) on May 4, 2012 we will reopen the
widget and
accept 25 more entries into the contest.
Please come back tomorrow and sign up on the widget in the
submission
post.
Good luck everyone!<3

You guys rock! Now, I can go to sleep with a smile & stop feeling guilty for getting a slot when others couldn't even get the linky to work. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm glad you got in! :D
DeleteJust want to say I think you're great for hosting this fantastic contest. You give so much back to the writing community. :)
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! (((HUGS))))
DeleteIt took me about 2.5 minutes to get the link to work last night. I even changed from Krista's blog to Cupid's because I thought it might work better...it was really nerve-wracking!
ReplyDeleteBut I did make it in, at #147 (at first it said 148 and then I actually went down, which was strange).
Anyway, it is really great of you to do it at all, and then to open it once again for the people who couldn't get it to work. I hope they all get in this time.
And my name doesn't actually start with http// but I'm sure everyone realized how that happened ;).
Thank you!
Woot! I'm glad you got in!
DeleteAnd I think the numbers went down because someone entered twice, and then the entry was deleted. ;)
Just wanted to let you all know how much you're appreciated! Thanks to you, Brenda, Cupid, and Krista for putting in all the hard work. xx
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! <3333
DeleteI sincerely hope that everyone knows what you all are doing is out of the kindness of your hearts, because you care about good writing and great books. Having been a co-host of the A to Z blogfest (a linky list with 2000 entrants, before we removed spam) I know how difficult this can be. So I just wanted to say: THANK YOU!
