Oh, yes (on the thank-you notes). Good manners are always a good idea, and in this instance, they get you remembered nicely.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Lie Becomes Truth
Nobody will know. Or notice. If they do, they won't care. I will do it later. Tomorrow. Next week. Next time. Next year. There will be plenty of time. In fact, I can make time. I can squeeze it in, when it is more convenient.
No one expected it now, anyhow. Nobody will remember, later. I am the only one concerned about it.
How important could it be? It is not as if I am the first to do this. I am pretty sure this has happened before. The world did not end. It won't matter in the long run.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cindy, I like this muchly, especially guessing what the "it" is.
How important could it could it be?I think this is a typo.

Thanks, Lee, and thanks for the typo catch, too. I made a slight change to keep the word count at 100.

Cindy, I'm with Lee - nicely written, and the curiosity factor makes it even better.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Anyone want to read some stuff I'm planning to enter in a contest? It's a first kiss contest, with the final round judge an editor from a publisher I'd love to work with. You enter a one-page set-up, plus a first kiss scene of no more than ten pages. The set-up is the hardest part. It's not actually judged, but it needs to introduce what's going on, and I'm sure the better it is and the more compelling you make the characters sound, the better off you are. I'm not at all satisfied with what I've got so far.
Anyway, can I get a couple of beta readers to look at the set-ups and then the scenes themselves?

Yup. Send. But I'm mildly time-crunched for the next couple of days - what's the deadline?

No great rush. Entries have to be received by 11/1, and I'm shooting to mail mine by 10/18 just to avoid that rushed scrambly feeling. I'll insend and then head for sleep.

Susan, I realize I don't have a track record as a beta reader here but I've really enjoyed the bits of your work you have posted and would love to help you out.
My profile address is good.

Because books.
Susan, I'd be happy to read it. You can send it to either address. You want the most feedback on the setup page, yes?
