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!

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.
Thanks, Sharon, for the info about Authoress' contest, and you can count me in for yours, too! I'll send by tomorrow! :)
Cool contest! I'll send you mine. And thanks about miss snark
Hi!

:-)
Take care

Crystal--It's gonna be fun. :)
Terry--Can't wait to see yours! Fiction or non-fiction???
Kitty--The Authoress has some great contests that have landed people agents. :) But all of the ones I've seen are for novels...This one can be anything...Kitty, I hope you're going to send me something???
Sounds cool!
Terri--I hope you are going to participate...
My opening is soooo bad, I'm too embarrassed to let anyone read it. Good luck to everyone who enters. Great contest idea.
MG--Maybe we can help each other. :) I'm not going to post them with names...You are welcome to stop by and make comments that could benefit others...(Then you'll be in the drawing.) :)
Cool contest, Sharon! I'll email mine tomorrow when I have enough energy to go downstairs to the big computer where I email from - I'm too comfy in my bed for tonight!
Susan--I'm totally confused??? You blog from your laptop, but don't email...I look forward to getting your entry. :)
Ooh so fun! Can't wait to read these!
LILA--Thanks for stopping by. :) I've got some good ones already....
Great Contest and Great Reads.
Perfect because I've been stumbling with revising intro.
Thank you!
Jennie--I can't wait to get your entry. :)
Great contest Sharon! Just sent you mine.
Oh, cool! Can't wait to read what people come up with. Thanks!
Now I'm off to visit Authoress.
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!
I look forward to reading the entries away good to see how people start their stories.
Sean--Good stuff. :)
Jackee--I hope you come back tomorrow...
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. :)
I don't know how it is I haven't stumbled upon your blog sooner. So glad I have now!!
Cool... I'm in!
Terresa--I'm glad you found me! Thanks for stopping by and for becoming a follower.
J.J.--Thanks for joining in on the fun. :)
