SECOND PRIZE: A 5 PAGE CRITIQUE OF YOUR MANUSCRIPT
Winnie and I (Carrie) will both go over your first five pages with a fine comb hunting out any detail that detracts from the readers enjoyment and interest. When we're finished, you'll have a set of actionable suggestions in the form of a SWOT (strength - weakness - opportunity - threat) analysis and to work with to improve your work.
THIRD PRIZE: A COPY OF THE HANDBOOK OF THE WRITER SECRET SOCIETY
I can't reveal what you'll discover in the handbook, but the secrets of great writers and details of a terrible conspiracy are in there waiting to be unleashed by your imagination.

Three years is a long time to be blogging about writing, but the people Winnie and I have met online via this blog and our other social media accounts have been incredible. Thanks to everyone whose commented, written a guest post or just wasted hours tweeting together. You're all awesome.
Have some cake!

ReplyDeleteokay, so that's 5 :D
ReplyDeleteAh good job! You're awesome.
ReplyDeleteHi, the Scrivener (http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php) is fine too, but I really like the non-distraction software like the TextRoom (well, works for first drafts).
ReplyDeleteI have to admit. I haven't used either. I've been happy with Write-It-Now plus there's something inspirational about the name.
DeleteOkay I'm a longtime follower on twitter and I've shared a posts. I figure I'm good for at least 3 points :)
ReplyDeleteThat's about right. I should have mentioned it didn't matter when you do the following. Thanks for bringing that up :).
