*jumping up and down and screaming like a girl*

Semi-finalist here, too. Congrats to Bluestocking!

I'm absolutely giddy and tearing up like a dork. wotf007

Oh yeah! Congratulations to you Kary, and Bluestocking too.
And yeah, I remember I didn't come down for a week after I got mine. wotf001

Except you probably teared up more like a croc! wotf013

Maybe I should let the Gator loose, I fear she's already been chasing Evil Martin with her bottle of chilli sauce this evening. Maybe he deserves it, or maybe tonight is simply the night evil takes over the forum. Muaha! wotf013

Maybe the missing 8 semis will also be forum folk. wotf013 (We must have a higher than average acceptance rate, right, right?)

wotf006 Kary--was today the best writing day ever?

Yes, today has been the best writing day ever. The meeting with the client went well, and that's all I can say on that at this particular juncture.

The only thing left to cap it off would be an acceptance from the Kindle Singles program for my semi. Only 15% of Kindle Singles are fiction, and of those only one title is fantasy. I'd sure love to be #2.

Thanks, everybody. I'm hoping more semi-finalist notices went out today. I'd love to see several more of us bring one home.

Yes, yes. Enjoy your critiques. And then perhaps share them with us lowly nonplacers? wotf007 I think there's a thread for that sort of thing . . .

I don't know what Bluestocking got, but my email from Joni sounded like the certificate and the crit were ready to be mailed. That would be a huge plus as semis used to have to wait another month or six weeks to get their crits.

I'll ask Dave first to make sure it's ok to share it, but if he says yes, I'll post it.

I couldn't wait any longer. I just emailed Joni inquiring about the fate of my Q1 entry. Honestly, I'm expecting a reject. I think if it was otherwise, I would have heard by now. That leaves just a few of us who have no news. I can't imagine it taking another week, but the way this quarter has been, I just don't know anymore.

Just heard back from Joni. It took her exactly 2 hours to respond to my email inquiry. I got an HM! I'll take it! Woo-hoo! Has this been an intense quarter, or what?
