Last week when I was cleaning out my room, I found $20.00. This week I found an unopened judging packet. I was totally confused to find it. WTF? I had completely forgotten that I entered a very early version of The Rake in a contest that allows published authors to enter. A very long time time ago. (Yeah, so, I SAID I lack the tidy gene.) So, I opened it. Out of 150 possible points, I got 143, 142 and 122. And the 122 was the most complimentary, go figure. I don't know what to make of that. That's the version Kate didn't like oh so long ago. I think. I can't remember. I glanced at the pages, and yeah, that version was pretty damn good, heck that one's even finished. But that was also back when I had an agent who wasn't for me and/or when I didn't have one at all. I'm now thinking it should have been shopped elsewhere.
