I'll just keep quiet like I was told to over the phone....













...by my wife

I'm starting to think Farland may not be the best choice long term. He is far too busy. Well, he did step down once before because the contest was eating up too much of his writing time. This is gross speculation on my part, but I would imagine that he's only stepped in to get the contest through t...

So David Farland has seminars 5/18-19th and then in the beginning of June.
Predictions?

Finals and rest notified starting today and then final judging between 5/20-6/2?

Also haven't heard anything. Checked spam filter and nothing there. Illustrator finalist were announced May 9th. Are the finalists always announced? I suspect Joni contacts finalist before announcing them, but I could be wrong. Keeping fingers crossed. Finalists get a phone call. Semi's and any lef...

Congratulations to the winning illustrators!! Am I the only one who has to keep a defibrillator by my desk chair? I come into the thread and see FIRST QUARTER WINNERS and down I go... So if I wanted to make myself a Google alert that would catch the blog post and/or the press release, what would th...

Congrats to the winning illustrators.

Could use some good news and soon. My car repair is only going to cost a quarter of the originally estimated price. wotf007 Oh. You probably meant good news for you . Uhhhhh. Tomorrow's Thursday! Maybe there will be some e-mails . . . I was going to mention you in my acceptance speech... I still wi...

It's been raining in Boston for the past week. Very dreary. That and my graphic novel project falling apart. I think I'm loosing my mind. Could use some good news and soon.

I'd like to call this evil alter-ego meeting to order. ... Evil Mike: I'm going to make an entire universe out of my rejection slips and create one where I get only acceptances. Evil Francis: I did that last week. Old news. ... Rejection slips... what are those... wotf017 (setting himself up for a ...

NNINN: No News Is No News

We need a terminology index...

I think you just started it.

SF - semi finalist
SHM - Silver honerable mention
HM - Honorable Mention
R - Rejection

I had a dream last night that they sent out the results (including the winners for the quarter) and francisbruno and Martin were two of the winners (didn't see the third). Don't rely too much on my dream-state prognostications however, because I ended up with a Silver HM, even though I've already g...

I'll get the band back together.

And yet the wait keeps killing me :) I guess it's better than the current known alternatives...
Off to fix up my SF to apply to Viable Paradise.

I am in NY, so I may be the last to know, but I figured I'd report that NNiNN.

Joni said NNIGN at this point. We are part of the 1%, yeah!

Thanks for the update.

If you can't trust someone with 'evil' in their name, who can you trust?

Maybe they sent out the LAMP results snail mail yesterday and are ranking the holds... I can hope, can't I?
Time to finish up Q3 which is coming together nicely.

My Q3 just came together. I'm hoping to have the first draft done this weekend.

She can lead me around by a leash. Meow!

Agreed. I am writing, don't get me wrong. I just have a goal of winning this and the wait is killing me. Plus I'm trying to make sure that Q1 has the longest thread... Ever!

I think I need to see a shrink regarding this. Now I'm cringing whenever I see a new message in my inbox. Dreading the email of SF rather than the phone call of Finalist. I think I'll need to be treated for PTSD when this is over.

I get a call a day from headhunters and immediately google the areacode to see if it could be from WOTF... Nada yet.

I always thought those responses were automatic. Of course I always enter on the last day or two. Just trying to push the post count up in this thread... There will never be another one so long. haha. So, the interesting thing might be if you are a finalist for Q1, being judged for the top three spo...

may the odds be ever in your favor

Strange dream last night. Was a finalist and then one of the final 3 for the quarter. Then it turned out they took the winners from all four quarters and made them battle it out like in the hunger games. I woke up before I found out if I won for the whole year, but it was interesting while it lasted...

Congrats to the illustrators.

Show of hands for some responses this week, possibly Thursday?

We have a saying down in Texas.
Fool me once... Shame... Shame on you.
Fool me twice.... A fool can't get fooled again...

Thanks for the assortment of good wishes, everyone. :) Tidbit: There's a new Daily Kick from David Farland posted on FB today, though it hasn't hit my inbox yet. So whatever it was that was taking up all his time might be finished. Superstars writing followed by LDStorymakers, both preceded by anot...

Personally, I think the replacement judges were tied up. A few conferences going on for the past couple of weeks. I would suspect some results this week, though.
