Judging Contest Entries

Today, I’m blogging over at Prairie Chicks Write Romance.

Since I’ve been working on revisions for my contest entry, I decided to write my post on the different ways judges critique the entries.

I’ve posted some examples from my novel Charley’s Saint, and given a select amount of actual comments from some judges.

My hope is that anyone interested in entering the contests will see that a comment from a judge is just a matter of opinion. The writer has the choice whether to accept the suggestion or ignore it.

In case you don’t go over, I’d say this again: Thank you to all those people who expend their own time and effort to judge these contests without monetary compensation. I truly appreciate it.

Now, for the rest of you, come on over and join in the discussion at http://www.prairiechickswriteromance.blogspot.com/

See you there...

About a quarter mile away on the same road but on a different day, I glanced at this familiar old bridge and saw a mule deer hiding underneath. As soon as my mind understood what I'd seen, I backed up to get a photo. The buck was still there--so still--that I thought it was a wooden silhouette like the ones I saw on hilltops along the hig...
