First Submission Window Now Open!

Note to all writers planning to try for a slot in tonight's window: You must COPY AND PASTE your blog address from the URL bar when you sign up for "The Writer's Voice." Otherwise, the widget might kick you out. So if I were you, I'd have my blog open in another window and the URL copied before 9:00 p.m. EDT so that all I'd have to do is type in my name and paste my URL.

Please note that WE’RE ONLY ACCEPTING 75 ENTRIES IN THE FIRST SUBMISSION WINDOW. We're closing the widget at 75 entries, so if more than 75 people sign up, WE WILL DELETE THE ADDITIONAL ENTRIES and ask those people to try again in the second submission window. Once you secure your slot in the widget, please check out yesterday's post for specific instructions on how to post your entry and e-mail it to us.

To enter "The Writer's Voice," sign up on the widget below now!

Mister Linky's Magical Widgets -- Easy-Linky widget will appear right here!
This preview will disappear when the widget is displayed on your site.

  11. Dang! That filled up fast! By the time I finished typing my name, it was too late. I should have a shorter name.

  12. Can you believe that?! Wow. Fast or what?
    Jennie, I think it's because it's a combination of all four blogs and it gets thrown in together and does a re-jive.

  14. LOL - nevermind! It said I was number 2 when I signed in, but I'm 101 on the list so I missed the cutoff. Good luck guys who made it in!

  17. Hey, that happened to me to. I was 59, but now I'm not on the list.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I just did this and it said I was 45, and now I don't see me there? How did that happen?

    ReplyDelete
  19. *sigh* will try again later

    ReplyDelete
  20. Five o'clock in the morning here! When I signed in it said #4, when I refreshed I was #30. I'm not refreshing again...

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh. Never mind. Try again tonight!

  22. As Ahhnold said, "I'll be back."
    *BG*

    thanks for putting this on, btw.

  23. Krista, I don't even see my name on the list anywhere, and I absolutely did enter and I saw my name on 45. So I understand some people got moved down when they refreshed, but is it possible someone got completely deleted?
    I'm just confused.
    I'll have another go tonight, but still confused. Thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'll check it out again tonight.

    I'll have a blog URL by then. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Same deal here as with many of you. It said I was number 2 as soon as I entered, but upon refreshing I'm not on the list at all. Confusing. I guess I'm not in...?

    ReplyDelete
  26. That was bananas you guys. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

    ReplyDelete
  27. For all those who saw one number and then refreshed (it happened to me too, moved from 25 to 58) it's due to the nature of the linky list and how it polls the data from all the sites. When you first signed in, it hadn't had time to poll all the other entries. It doesn't mean anyone was deleting you, or that you did anything wrong, it's just the nature of the internet.

    Best of luck to all who made it in!

    ReplyDelete
  28. That is INSANE. I will have my super-typing-power gloves on tonight, then.
    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm glad to know I wasn't alone.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Matthew, thanks for clearing that up. Yes, I believe it just organized everyone from all four blogs into one list, and when it did that, some people were farther down the list than they thought:(

    I believe the master list has settled now, so whatever your number is now is what it'll be. If you didn't make it in ths time, please come back tonight at 9:00 p.m. EDT (or 6:00 p.m. PDT)!

  30. Got in at #61, yay! Good luck to us all and thanks to these wonderful ladies for giving us this incredible opportunity. Getting up before my peepers were ready was totally worth it :)

  31. Krista, FYI, I've been visiting all the blogs, to say hi, and it looks like number 67 - tonja Drecker, accidentally added as extra S so her url is ...blogspotS.com. If you remove that S, the url then takes you to her actual blog. If you want to let whoever admins the linky list know, they should be able to fix it.

    Thanks. :)

  32. Thanks for letting us know, Matthew. I'll make sure Brenda sees it; she's our resident widget expert:)

  34. Yay, I made it! Thank you for hosting such a wonderful opportunity

  35. Wahoo! A spot of sunshine today :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think I'm in! I tried this morning, but it kicked me out.
    Crossing fingers!

  37. Matthew - Krista...
    Thanks for fixing my linky! My kids hocked around me, counting down - more excited than I (which was hard :)) Next time, I won't tell them until afterwards.

    Oh - and I forgot to put the link in my first e-mail so I sent another

    Guess I'm a TERRIBLE contest enterer... Sorry.
