I was complaining to my kids during dinner about the entries I was having to read for this contest, and #1-son suggested the term "Crimes Against Literature" and I laughed. Yes, that's what I'm reading today... Crimes Against Literature.

Only one more to go... that's the only good thing I can say about the entries I've read today. I'm sure going to think twice about doing this again next year... I don't think I could handle it another year.

Yes, it's true that agent and editors have to read this kind of stuff on a regular basis, but the advantage they have is that they don't have to read the whole blasted thing and try to figure out good things to say about it.

And I saved the worst for last. I've tried to read this one several times and still can't get past the first page. Aaarrggghhh!!!

Yes... bite the bullet and do it, and then I'll be done and can sleep sound.

I need a drink first! Where's the Baileys?
