Congrats to Nan (twice!) and to Lote.
I got my score sheet yesterday and read through the comments. I can't say that I'd argue with a single score. And I did get marked very low in a couple areas so it's not like I got perfect 10's across the board so to speak. Several were 1's and while at first that pinches a bit, when I think it through, those scores were spot on. Like Laura, this was an older piece and I've learned scads since then.
I too appreciate the time they invest in this. I've judged a writing contest before through Romance Writers of America and it IS time consuming. It's often a thankless job so I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them publicly.
