For those who are damned…

How do we know if our entry was received? I just submitted one.
Thanks,
Christina
We got it. Thanks!
I entered two stories by mistake. The one that I wanted to be entered is titled “Return”, not “Black Veil”. My sincerest apologies and I hope you had received my entry.
Sorry for the delay. I remembered seeing your message but I couldn’t remembered where I saw the message. I read both and I had to immediately visited your site. I liked them both. I don’t have them in front of me now. I think one was shorter?
But I was impressed. I love 💕 your backstory.
Stay inspired,
Shonda
I want to enter this contest, but I’m confused about one thing. Can we just come up with an opening line, or does it have to be the first of a story, paragraph, etc.?
You can just come up with one, Reagan. It doesn’t have to be part of a completed story.
Thanks! 🙂
If my frustration equals your enjoyment we are off to a great start together! Thanks for hosting great contest like this!

Hi Shondra. The shorter one titled Return is the one I wanted to submit for the contest. Black Veil was completely accidental lol. My apologies I just wanted to know if that one got in.
And thank you soo much for enjoying both of my stories. I really appreciate it 🙂
