I printed out each entry, removed names and titles, except for entry number, and even formatted them in a similar fashion. Hubby sat in our hotel room and read them all, then marked 1, 2, and 3 on his picks for our winners. I had no influence on his choices, but I'm very happy with them, nonetheless. That being said, you ALL did a fabulous job. I was uber impressed with how much variety and creativity you peeps put into these 13 entries. I'm already looking forward to another contest.
Don't you just wish I'd get to the winners already??? I'm such a stinker.

Oh my gosh!! I'm thrilled and terrified at the same time!! The books sound amazing and I can't wait to read them. The critique and interview are a little scary though. Thank you so much Mysti (and blind judge hubby)!! It's so wonderful to know that there are actually real people out there that like something I've written. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks again!!
Becca
