CONTEST!!

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted my query letter for The Witch Hunter's Bible, as was previously promised. To those of you I say this:

Thanks for following my blog so closely!!!!!!!!!

And also, I can't post my query letter :(  Turns out its a no-no. Yeah, sorry about that. BUT, because I feel bad (and also because I like to help others out), I've decided to hold a contest instead.

Those of you intimate with my critique style, like the wonderful Ruth Lauren Steven, know that I'm a nitpicky grammar Nazi. Also, I like little smiley faces. So enter the contest at your own risk :)

So what is this contest, you ask? What are the rules, you say?

Rules: 

1) Follow my blog
2) Write a caption to the picture below (in the comments section). The picture is of my husband and my son (when he was wee). If you look closely, you can see Ben is clutching onto my husband's hair for dear life. It's hilarious. ONE ENTRY PER CONTESTANT. Fine, two per contestant. Best caption wins.
3) There were only 2 rules.

The Prizes:


First place: 10 page critique by non-other than me 
Second place: 5 page critique 
Third place: Query letter critique (not for public viewing!) 


So come on, people! Don't be shy! Any kind of caption flies! Have fun! Get creative! Get funny! (or not, that's okay too). CONTEST CLOSES WEDNESDAY MARCH 21ST at 3PM EST.
