Critique Contest, Lit/Art Contest, Sestina-ween

Journal Entry: Mon Nov 9, 2009, 4:32 PM


[edit for contest results, second entry]

Critique contest going on at [link] . You have to be a member to contribute, but becoming a member is easy, and will be worth your while if you enjoy critiquing. They seem to be short on entries, and I think it would be terrible for one of the people who donated art to NOT receive a critique. You can submit two! I know some of you out there like to give critique.

My friend *Ameko-Shadowsong was generous enough to inform me of a contest that's going on - [link] - and being that there are very few entrants so far, your chances of winning are astronomically high. I know I don't have many watchers, but I thought I'd try to drum up some support.

Results are in! [link] - I placed third for [link] .

Second place : [link]

First place : [link]

Now that it is no longer self-promotion month, I figured I'd take down the journal entry with all that info about me.

If you don't want to click that link, the important piece of information (for my watchers, anyway) is that I was awarded second place for [link] .

John, would you consider becoming a poetry critic for *project-improve? I'm currently its only poetry critic and I don't have much time for critique at the moment.

You certainly have what it takes, and more.

I meant to ask--what did you find out about that poetry contest and being published?
