April.
I entered a book in the Blurb $25,000 contest, you can vote for it (but you only get one vote), as they now have a people's choice. Part of me hopes it turns into a MySpace rally for one of the vagina, wedding, children, dog, photoshop nude collage or random bewildering books I just don't understand or can relate to in anyway at all, the other part of me thinks you should Vote for Me.
The book preview won't take you far, but you can see more here in a larger edit: April
Sadly it may make you register with Blurb, as everything is an ad for something else, but it's their contest, so their rules. 1750 books were entered online and I am sure a large quantity of were submitted privately offline. I considered this, but Blurb wanted 3 copies of your book you would never get back and could end up who knows where after judging. That cost each person that entered privately countless expenses, depending on your book, probably a few hundred dollars. In the end I couldn't justify being smug/insecure/scared/rich enough to hide. If I wasn't ready to be seen or insecure about my idea's or fear them stolen, I shouldn't of entered. It seems there is a stigma out there to entering this contest at all, but a shower of $25,000 in single dollar bills would wash that off pretty quick I imagine. If it turns out I cannot tell you how this feels, I hope one my friends that entered will let me know and since I cannot keep a secret, I will tell you.
