Read the Sean Bean thing. I had completely forgotten that I absolutely, positively have to see The Island.
Hi Java cat!
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Toast with sour cherry preserves: I have paid off my student loans in a biggish lump sum. I am now broke, but owe no one anything, except what I've charged this month on my Visa. Whew!

Ann, that's a ferret.
lib, if you can pay off the bill in full when it comes in, it doesn't count as debt.
Congrats!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Whoot for debt-free-ness!

Unless, of course, the contest results are revealing a flaw in my writing that somehow isn't revealed in ordinary critiquing.
A little later but....
Susan, I think I'd give most of the contests a pass. I can't speak with any authority on romance writing contests specifically, but I've gotten the impression over the years that the majority of writing contests tend to reward safe, normal, middle of the road entires. Not the interesting kind of writing that makes for good actual published books.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Skippity skip skip skipping to say:

Hey back, libkitty! And YAY! congratuations. It's a good feeling, huh?
You can eat candy for constipation? Instead of bran and veggies? Okay, that's weird.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Candy that has sugar alcohols instead of sugar can only be eaten in moderation. If sensitive people eat too much of it, their digestive tract basically decides it's had ex-lax. The less sensitive to the effect you are, the more you can eat, but suddenly you're like the people in the commercials for Imodium AD.
Same with low-carb ice cream.

When I'm really following the eating plan that really, really works for me, I sometimes find the sugar alcohols in SF candy to be, um, therapeutic.
