Thanks for the information–I’m excited!! 🙂
Sounds exciting. Can’t wait!!!!
Woohoo! I’ve got a newly polished MS so I’m excited, it was so fun last time!!!
Yay! So excited!
I will spread the word!
Seeing as this is a Saturday, I’ll probably be one of the last entries to get in. At least it’s all day Saturday, so I’ll still have a few hours where I can use the computer at the very end of the day.
Brenda, wondering about word count for submissions. Does “twelve-year-old” count as three words (as it does for some reason in Pages) or one??
This sounds like a lot of fun! Can’t wait **busts out some happy dance moves**
This sounds fun!
So excited!
