Yup, newer revisions answered suggested changes! Another synopsis written last year showed a problem I didn't realize existed. So losing and writing them are important. <br /><br />Entering this year. It would be great to win or final. It would be fantastic if our critique group stood up there!<br /><br />Crossing my fingers....

Colorado Gold judges gave me the equivalent of an MFA in writing!

It's such a huge accomplishment to complete a manuscript and then put yourself out there for feedback. I never won first place in all the years I entered, but the confidence boost it gave me is unequaled. Now I'm published and in part it's due to having entered the Colorado Gold.Karen Duvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839711547501582977noreply@blogger.com
