First Four Sentence of Your WIP Contest...(Deadline 1 pm CST Friday)

Do you follow the Authoress at Miss Snark’s First Victim?  She’s having a contest that runs all day today!

I thought I would follow her lead and do a First Four Sentences of Your WIP Contest. Email your: Title, Genre, and the first four sentences of your WIP…To me at skmayh(at)q. com by 1 pm CST on FRIDAY. (I just updated the deadline, as I will not be home until then, so you guys get a few more hours to enter.  You can enter more than once!!!) 

I’ll post them on Friday. Everyone who enters their first four sentences will get one entry and everyone who makes a comment on the submissions will get an entry (so you could get two entries). The prize is…a school days scrapbooking ensemble.

A side note here…Jane Yolen is one of my literary heroes…If you get a chance to hop over to her blog/site you won’t be disappointed. She’s an amazing person!

  1. Thanks for the Miss Snark info! :-)

    It had taken two days of digging, but Scott finally had a small cup full of worms. He only kept the best ones - long and fat and slimy. This cup of worms was his best yet. He was sure that if they had worm-collecting at the Olympics, this cup would be a gold medal winner.

  17. Cool Contest! I entered mine with the MSFV contest. Which isn't really a contest 'cause there're not prizes involved. Other than the knowledge that your first 25 words rock or suck. ;)

    I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow, so I won't be able to enter yours. Good luck to everyone who does!

    Stina--I think the prize over at MSFV is the feedback. Really that's the prize here too. The scrapbook set is just a bonus...Have a great vacation! Thanks for stopping by!

    Travis--Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you are going to come back and check out the contest entries. :)
