RSJ’s Aspiring Authors Contest Feedback

Posted by: La-Tessa

I got the contest results back this morning from the RSJ Aspiring Authors contest, and…

I didn’t place, but I scored much better than thought I would.  In fact, the feedback was very encouraging.  I’ve recently been battling writer’s block with this story, and the judges’ feedback, along with my CP’s, have helped spark the muse.

So I’m off to increase the word count.

    Congrats on entering the contest and doing better than you thought. I’ve only entered one writing contest where I received judges feedback, and let’s just say I didn’t score well. However, I did get some good feedback that after nursing my hurt pride, actually made good sense…later on. lol

    I know exactly what you mean LaMonica. I’ve received feedback from two contests so far, and I definitely had to take a second (and a deep breath LOL) before I read over the results.

    Once you get over the initial emotional rush, it’s easier to look at the comments in a more objective light.

    But just remember, it’s your story and you know how you want to tell it. Just continue to work developing your strengths and improving your areas of opportunity.
