Well, I submitted the first 200 words of the beginning of my second novel for an online contest and wow! You sure have to be ready to deal with criticism! It is the first contest I've entered and all in all, I felt it was a positive experience. No, shockingly, I didn't win the prize, but I got some GREAT advice from other writers and that is what its all about, isn't it? Writers helping writers. Thank you.
Now, off to make revisions...
Did you do Miss Snark's First Victim? I learned a lot from my 200 words I submitted for the contest. Then I did the dialogue one, and the comments on that were much more positive. Too bad that wasn't the secret agent contest - maybe an agent would've asked to see pages!
