The Never-ending Scene Blogfest (or cliffhanger--whatever)
The Never-ending Scene Blogfest (or cliffhanger--whatever)
October 25-26
Well, it's finally here, my first Blogfest. I'm so happy you all decided to participate and I can't wait to read all the wonderful entries!
So, here's how it works . . .
On your blog site, write a new scene or post a scene from your current project that is no more than 500 words, which has a rocking cliffhanger (pun intended). It can be any genre. Just leave us hanging, craving more, and cursing your name for making us want to turn a page that isn't there. And make sure you link back to this blog post so that visitors to your blog can read the other participants' entries. Easy peasy, right? Right.
Have your entries posted by 8am EST on October 25. The fest will be for two days so that everyone has time to read the entries. About that, please try to visit and comment on as many blogs as you can. The more you do, the better the response will be on your entry. I will post the top six on Wednesday, October 27.
About the judges . . .
Myself, which I hope you all already know and please follow me cause I'll follow you back.
Joannine, a fellow writer and my best friend since I was thirteen.
Connie, my walking buddy and former university publications editor.
The judges will stop by each participants' site, read the entry, and when we're done, pick the top six, and then have you all vote for the top three on the 27th. I won't be commenting on your entries, but you'll know we've stopped by and judged it. : )
Here's the wicked awesome prizes from C.A. Marshall, Freelance Editor, Author, and Literary Agent Intern Extraordinaire:

ReplyDeleteWow! I was the first one to sign up and I almost forgot about it! Lucky I'm two hours ahead of EST time! It's up! Hope you enjoy it. Can't wait to read what everyone wrote!
ReplyDeleteThe judges are on the prowl. Thanks for joining and good luck to everyone! :D

Wanted to say that there is some really great stuff out there. I commented on most, but some didn't allow for the Name/URL if you didn't have one of the listed accounts. Great work!
ReplyDeleteSorry my entry wasn't up yet my internet connection keeps frizzing out on me! I think it's up now... I hope....
ReplyDelete*slaps computer*
Yep, it's up.... let's hope it stays there.

There are some really great entries! I had a blast reading them.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are all awesome.
Hey I just came back to check everyone's stuff and I realized that I didn't get put on the list! I added myself, hope it isn't too late!
ReplyDeletesorry I got my post up so late - glad it's a 2 day fest! Can't wait to read all the cliffhangers!
ReplyDeleteI posted it right now, just so you know :D
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks for doing this blog fest! It was a lot of fun, even without the awesome prizes!!
ReplyDeleteOy! It's been a tough day and night reading and narrowing our list down to a semi-finalist list, which you guys can't see(yes I am that mean). You all are awesome, by the way. I wish I had prizes for everyone! Tomorrow we'll be visiting our top picks and arguing with each other some more about which ones are the best (that's a joke-we never argue).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you all are so supportive of each other. keep commenting and following each others blogs. Spread the love!(Where's that tie-dyed shirt of mine when I need it?) :D
I'm still catching up on entries. It was fun to participate.
ReplyDeleteThought I was following Brenda.
ReplyDeleteI'm late reading all the entries, but I will get to them. Thanks for hosting this contest.

I've read a few of the entries, and there are some rather creative writers out there! Nice blogfest. I'll have to jump onto one sometime in the future!
ReplyDeleteThis is one mighty impressive stable of scribes...
ReplyDeleteAwwww...I just missed this! :( It sounded so much like fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for stopping by and commenting and for making this blogfest such a spectacular event. I loved reading everyone's entries and arguing over them with the judges. We had a blast! And keep your eyes out for my next one after the new year. Hint: I love to give away writing tools. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat! I have just submitted my link and going to read others.
