Thanks to all for offering constructive criticism to your fellow writers. I'm sure it will go a long way for everyone's revisions in the future.
Now, for the winners. I kind of changed things up at last minute and decided to judge the competition myself. I thought randomizing the people involved was a cheap way out. So, I read all the pieces and picked my favorites.
This was a very tough decision, as both of the pieces had great writing, flow and characterization from the start: all the the things that I really look for in an opening that make me not want to put a book down.
The writer who took the prize is:
Mitch Inkley @ Going Postal with Mitch Inkley.
My runner-up was:
Chris Ledbetter @ The Oracle and the Muse.
Mitch, please contact me at sirfrodo13@gmail.com, so we can discuss your prize.
Thanks again to everyone!
Peace and Writing Love,

ReplyDeleteCongrats guys! I enjoyed both of those too. I've read so many, I think I'll swing back by and read again. ;)

Stay away from play bazaar anything that has caffeine in it. For example, you would not want to consume coffee or sugary soda just before going to bed. In addition, although herbal tea is recommended for sleep, black tea is not. If you get the two confused, you may find it even more difficult to fall asleep than before.satta king
