So, I sent in my manuscript to this contest. Three judges scored the first twenty-five pages of my work. The 1st judge gave me a 65/100 the second a 67/100 and the third a 75/100. The book with the highest score in each genre will win. I doubt I will place. However, the critiques alone that the three judges did on the paper were well worth the $30 it took to enter the contest. I have alot of work to do this summer...alot. Don't get me wrong there was alot of positive feedback as well, but yeah. 65, 67, 75. I'd like to bump those up a score o'points or so.

That's me thinking about my manuscript and drinking a shake to ease the intense pain in my ego.

Interesting.

Yeah, I'm glad you sent it somewhere. I always thought you needed some feedback aside from those you gave it to. (From what I remember)

That shake looks good, hope it cheered you up some.

Awesome man. It's always good to get feedback. How'd the scoring system work?

did that shake put a smile on your face? You look pretty depressed. Just remember thats only three peoples take on you manuscript. Just cause they don't know a good book when they read one is not your fault.
