Contest Diva

Some days I feel like a junkie and Stephie Smith's website page for contests is my drug. I really and truly do not enter THAT many contests in a year. But the few I do, I start at Stephie's page to get the skinny. Of course, as I had blogged before, I'm trying to quit. The two I entered were only to get feedback besides from my critique partners and beta-readers. As usually, one person will love it and the other will hate it. And, boy, do they hate it. [Added later: Two contests, one judge each hated it. My critique partners and beta-readers loved it and I don't pay them anything.] I guess in a way that's a good thing. They say if you can draw out a strong emotion you're doing your job. LOL!

Anyway, they gave me an idea (not divulging for now) and I'm going to try something new and see how it goes. Don't worry. I'll eventually tell you about it. You know that.
