...Thanks for the helpful post, Karen. Great links.<br /><br />I've entered enough contests in the last year to have learned that I need to pick and choose which to enter. They cost so much money, for one thing. I also found that I prefer to enter Christian-based contests, or ones with inspirational categories. Contests can be an excellent way to get feedback, though, and learn what parts of my story are working and what parts aren't.Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-68135351981560666952010-04-29T12:38:32.910-04:002010-04-29T12:38:32.910-04:00Hi Karen -
