Because I've completely lost my mind...

I really enjoyed two of the six or so I've read. I know both are my connections, but I don't remember titles right off the bat. I'll come back and post if I remember what they were.

I really wish I could concentrate better on computer text. I feel like I'm missing out on these Chapter contests.

I've never been able to concentrate for long on computer text though. When I was taking some classes through the local college, I decided to do it all online. I had problems understanding lectures etc on the screen.

Finally one day I decided to print it out. I mean come on, how can I have such trouble reading? I've been reading at a college level since about 8th or 9th grade!

So, I printed a lecture out and BAM there it was. No problem at all. I really don't understand what the difference would be for me but there is a HUGE difference between words on a screen and words on paper. *shrugs*. (I won't even tell you what my monthly cost was for printing out all my college documents!).

So, I've tried to read a few of these first Chapter submissions. I typically can't focus beyond the first or second paragraph though. I have been trying to get to the Chapters from my connections and give them a 10 just to show my support.

None yet. I will look for others peoples favorites in this article.

i've only read one of the submissions so far, romances aren't really my thing, but it was fairly good.

Melanie I like what you said, because yeah it can be hard to read really lengthy articles...I know I have written my share of lengthy, but I like what you said about printing things like that off...I think that was a great suggestion! ;o) Thanks!

I've only read a couple so far. I really liked
"Wife Seeking Wife"

I've only read a few. I've been avoiding them, there's just so many of them!!

I haven't read any. Well, I got things to do. But I'm going to read Sarah's Beauty and the Geek. The title sounds interesting.

I just read another good one called "Your Gift to Me"

Would you mind taking a look at my submission? It is a Christian fiction entitled Somewhere Down the Road. I'd appreciate any comments you would like to share. This is my first novel; I entered the contest as a learning experience since I really don't expect to win.

Hope you enjoy it!

Somewhere Down the Road

Thanks for the suggestions! Christine, I read your story and commented this morning. :)

I really enjoyed Layla's "Peace, Love and Chocolate."

Hey Sherry! I've only read one of the stories, but I thought it was really good, except for the corny title. It's "Here Comes The Wedding Planner" and it can be found here: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977093769.

Thanks Janna and Victoria - I've actually already read those two. :) :)

Sherry

Do you have a favorite yet?

Joy, gosh, I don't know. I've not read a lot of them, but I did take a few minutes to read Wife Seeking Wife (the one Linda posted above) and it blew me away. Very good, but very sad. I also liked the one Victoria referenced above, and another... gosh, I can't remember what it was now! I'll have to go back and check.

This is really nice that you've posted this asking people to send in suggestions!

I wish everyone good luck!

Forgive me for coming so late to your article. Playing catch up now. I have read two. Wife seeking wife and In over her head. Both good. :D
