Not Last Place

Well, in that Writing Blogs contest, I made it into the top 75. However, I was nowhere near making it into the top three. There were blogs that had votes in the 5 digits! (Last time I looked I had just under 200.) The one that won first place, it was easy to see why. She holds "secret" agent contests in which anonymous literary agents critique someone's work. Doh. Of course she has a zillion followers. It's a great idea and I congratulate her.

I wonder of Johnene would consent to doing a critique. Or maybe Patricia...

Anyway, I'm still glad I didn't come in dead last. I have the blog badge to prove it. :) It really WAS an honor to be nominated because there must be a LOT of blogs about writing out there and they contacted me. Very cool. :D

Good for you Kate. But I think these voting numbers are a bit of a joke because if you have the energy to drum up votes from 5000 "friends" on Facebook or have a wide circle of computer-savvy contacts ... they don't mean a thing! You have a GREAT blog! Ginny

I saw some of those numbers so I'm glad you made it to 75th. Thanks for posting the results.

I love you blog!

Kate, I thought I signed up for you revised WW class, but haven't heard anything. Did it start Feb 13th or did I mix up the date?
