I HATE my computer!<br /><br />I think I said something like, there are different requirements for the various genres and that I'd be praying for you to find Joshua's GMC and that it be fairly easy for you to incorporate into the story.

It's a taut, rollercoaster of a ride from New York to Palm Beach to Washington D.C. to Hong Kong. The plot is expertly woven, the characters persuasive, and the dialogue snappy and spot on.<br />www.StrategicBookPublishing.com/TheHongKongConnection.htmlM. L.

What's up with that?! I've heard of others getting those way contrasting scores and I just don't understand it. I heard someone say that maybe "readers" are more critical of entries than "writers" since writers know what things to let slide and what things are more critical? Not sure. But I've learned a lot about contests this year and think a lot of how a person does, depends on the judges they get! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your feedback! I'll look forward to hearing more of what you learned!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-54290258763289041472009-06-01T10:51:07.825-05:002009-06-01T10:51:07.825-05:00Jeannie,

It always takes a while to get past the things that don't make sense (as in, two judges that completely contradict each other . . . what to do with their suggestions?) But I think I've been able to pick up enough out of seven judged entries (so far . . . until the TBL's come back) to know what to do. For me it's not so much the GMC but pacing. I thought pacing was okay. It's not. Apparently it has to blow your hair back!<br /><br />It's good to know we are all learning as we move toward the prize.Debra E.
