"First Chapters" writing contest
« on: January 12, 2007, 09:43:56 PM »
Hello again everyone.  I came across this on Yahoo.com today and did a little digging.  It sounds sort of interesting.  Has anyone else heard about it?

Heard nothing till just now.  Sounds interesting though.

Alas, no finished novels here.  :(

Thanks for the link!  I read though a bit of the blog.  However, http://agentobscura.livejournal.com/ link at the bottom caught my eye.  It's a great blog! :)

I'm considering entering this contest.  Rule number 11 made me kind of nervous though.  It seems to me that they're saying if someone copies your after you enter the contest, to bad, you signed up for that by submitting.   

What do you all think?
