I try to use the words as given, but that's just me. In fact, I suspect Janet takes the same approach to judging the winning entry as she does to determining a winning query letter: if it knocks her socks off, it's a winner, even if it fudges the rules a bit. And I'm fine with that. Ashley's entry certain was a sox-knocker-offer. :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-27586321209000207022012-09-18T17:29:40.878-04:002012-09-18T17:29:40.878-04:00Great story, Ashley--I love the twist in the persp...Great story, Ashley--I love the twist in the perspective!
