I was one of the winners of Miss Snark's First Victim's April Conest, but (unfortunately) the rest of my manuscript wasn't as tight as my 250 words.

I've learned some from the ones I've entered, like to pay attention to where you end with the first 250 or so word ones. I was just debating if I should continue entering. It sounds like maybe it'd be helpful.

The most well-reviewed script for the month wins. I believe they also have short story critiques and contests as well.Sarah Skiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242496273739569661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-2594369430058603642010-04-28T18:34:30.839-04:002010-04-28T18:34:30.839-04:00Great info.
