I can't beleive I forgot to post this. Every year Romance Junkies - a website for romance readers - holds a first chapter contest for writers. Each week they put up new entries. First chapters are my favorite to write, so I like to enter this contest to see how I fare against all the other writers out there.
Everything is anonymous, so it's not a polularity contest. Just a fun way to see books in progress. Check it out!

I loved the comments I got last year. And since my entry was published, I was able to share my joy with the people who'd liked it.
I'd spaced it this year, until this week. They usually finish up in August, but maybe they'll go longer since they got a late start. There are two FANTASTIC ones I read today...but I don't want to say the titles and risk getting them disqualified :(
Like Stacy, I also entered for the first time this year! And, like Stacy, mine's been up. I was encouraged by the comments - all were positive, except for one which was mediocre (and I agreed with what they said). I was actually hoping for more constructive comments, but oh well.
I think people are wary of being constructive - that the comments may be taken the wrong way. Since I remembered this week, I made comments on 5. A couple of them were so good I had nothing to say.
