Query + first 250 words?
Do you mean pages?
I’m so confused!
Good luck everyone!

WG,
I saw ‘pages’ too and had to pinch myself. Alas, it was but a typo… If only we could get someone to read our first 250 pages, huh? Good luck if you’re one of the chosen.
Brenda Drake · June 10, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Um, that would be words not pages. LOL
White Gardenia · June 10, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Hah! Thought so, but when I read the word “pages” in the format instructions, I thought I needed glasses!
Thanks, Brenda. And thanks for this awesome opportunity!
Jessica Negron · June 10, 2012 at 7:38 pm
Thought I was really lucky, until I saw my entry number…666 o_O;
Oh well. Still excited!

Ok, I honestly didn’t think I’d win so I was sooo surprised when my fellow AQCers (I love them so much) told me I won!! I’m so excited. Like realllyy excited. Thank you so much for this contest! AAH!

Woohooo! Good luck everyone!
Laurie · June 10, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Thank you so much for this opportunity. I never thought I’d get picked, and then I did! This means more to me than you know.

I am really excited, beyond words! Firstly, because this is the first time I have won any contest I have ever entered. Number 2: because there were so many entries I thought I surely didn’t have a chance. (Remember the “math guy” and his calculated estimates? Yeah, that bummed me out.)
So thanks a million for hosting another contest!
Jennie Bailey · June 10, 2012 at 10:50 pm
Congrats to all the winners!! So excited for you all – good luck!

Just got home from vacation to a wonderful surprise! Thanks, Brenda. You are the best!

“The Math Guy” made it through the probability gauntlet, as well. Entry submitted!

Anyone feel this way? Cuz I’d sure love to take your spot! 😉

Were we supposed to get a confirmation e-mail after sending? I sent mine in yesterday but didn’t get the usual confirmation, and was wondering if I should resend.
Brenda Drake · June 11, 2012 at 9:07 pm
Sorry, Carrie-Anne, I didn’t have the receipt button pushed. I did get yours and many others.
I will contact those tomorrow that haven’t received. Thank you!
Ashley Maker · June 11, 2012 at 10:27 pm
Wow, just found out about this today! I’m so excited 🙂 Putting the finishing touches on my entry and will send it in soon!
Carrie-Anne · June 11, 2012 at 11:12 pm
Another quick question: Is it okay to resubmit if I’ve just changed the opening paragraph of my entry, or leave it as is? Thanks!
Brenda Drake · June 12, 2012 at 7:03 am
Carrie-Anne, yes you may, please reference it as a resubmit so I won’t mix it up with the other one. Thanks!
Danielle B. · June 13, 2012 at 10:46 am
Congreats everyone!
Danielle B. · June 13, 2012 at 10:46 am
Oh good grief! I mean congrats!
