If you have commented on fewer than 5 blog posts since January 4, I haven’t included you in this list. Those of you who lack enough comments for the 10-comment minimum for one entry into the drawings will see that there are still some posts on which you can leave a comment to try to get your numbers up—posts from last week and this week. So if you want to make sure that you get an entry in the contest, be sure to get those comments posted!

    I KNOW that I don’t have time to write anything, but I’ll just squeak in under the wire with comments. πŸ™‚

    Good luck to you ladies who are writing! And thanks Kaye for the contests and great writing that YOU do!

    Question – I do have a fanfic that I wrote a little bit a go, within which is a courtroom scene. It doesn’t PROVE love exists, but it does REVEAL true love in the characters. Would that count?

    Either way, I’m enjoying everyone’s comments – even about the most random questions! πŸ™‚

    Wow, I didn’t even realize how many comments I’d made. I was doing it on purpose for the contest, but I didn’t realize it had been going that long. Time flew by! πŸ™‚

    That just shows how well I was paying attention. I read the rules for the first prize, but must not have read further down. I am not a writer, so will leave the first prize to others.

    Can those of us not on this list still post to get in one entry?

      Yes, if there are enough posts still open for comments to get you there (today’s comments add one to your total–you need six more–which means five previous posts and tomorrow, and that’ll give you 10 for one entry).

        “So close, but yet, so far!”

        LOL! Well, that’s my fault for not reading the original rules correctly! I don’t think there are enough open threads left for me to get four more comments. I have never seen any of the LOST episodes, so cannot post knowledgeably about this series in those threads. Hmm….is knowledgeably a word? LOL! I think it is. Thanks anyway!

        By the way, have you ever considered putting a message board on here for us to discuss the books? I keep asking OT questions in these comments because I don’t know where else to ask them. My question is this. Have you ever considered having a hero and heroine who very much dislike each other, but end up falling in love? I’m not talking about these annoying characters who are attracted to each other right off, keep admiring each other’s looks, and the author can’t seem to come up with a logical reason for their dislike of one another. Another idea is a hero that talks non-stop and is kind of loud. He should marry a cute, quiet girl who can keep him in line! I have met lots of guys like that who talk one’s ears off.

    I’d love to write a story in a courtroom that proves love exists…unfortunately when I write a courtroom scene it usually involves one character loving the feeling of ripping the heart out of someone else. Literally. πŸ˜‰

    Hmm…a scene proving love exists, in a courtroom. Reminds me of Miracle on 34th St.
