I won something.

Miss Snark's First Victim, a blog, runs contests every month or so where aspiring writers submit the first 250 words of their novel for a secret agent to read and decide if they like it. It's a very popular contest, so the entry procedure is a lottery. The entrants fill out a web form, and they get a code. The magic computer selects a number of them, and voila.

I entered this month, and my number came up in the lottery.

And the agent picked mine as a bronze winner, so she now has my one-page synopsis (edited with the help of someone on twitter, because I got exactly ZERO comments on it here, thank you all) and the first 25 pages of my novel.

Also, I just want to say to the beta reader who trashed my novel, The writing is solid, you have a good balance so that I feel I know the setting but am not overwhelmed by details, and the last line has a good hint of something exciting about to start. Ha, Mr. N. J.

Congratulations! That's pretty cool. Here's hoping the secret agent is fond of the next 24 pages!

Thanks :)

I figure, even if she doesn't love it, hopefully I'll get some feedback on it.
