Miss Snark's First Victim Blog is having a last minute contest for first lines of your completed novel.
(All genres but erotica)
This is a lottery, so don't worry about trying to get in first. Enter today (TUE) between noon and five.
Not sure what happens to the winner, but this blog is very well followed by writers and agents alike, so you never know.

Good luck!

Cool! Thanks for the post Tele, *and* the news that it is a lottery.

I've all but given up on the MSFV "open till they're full" windows. I can't move fast enough to get my entry in before 56 seconds has elapsed...
