A Contest and a PRESENT---for you!!

Hello all! Courtney here—and today’s post is going to be very short and to the point. I know you were expecting another awesome writing Wednesday post, but *tear* you won’t be getting one. Instead, I’m going be talking about two (2) very important things-you-need-to-know.
1st—The party is STILL going on! CritiqueThisWIP is celebrating its milestone **100 members** by hosting a contest in your honor! The contest is judged on a point system so ANYONE and EVERYONE has a chance to win. All you need do is decide how much you want to win, then go after those points!
Here’s how to earn some points…

AND—and this is the mother of all point-system-winners—because we're all writers, if you write us a little story in the comments containing the following words: "critique", "romance", "fireworks", "odalisque" and "insouciant", you get 1 point for each word you use, 1 bonus point for using all of them, and 1 bonus point for a flash fiction-type story (max. 7 points).
**Make sure you let us know how many points you have, just to make sure we don’t miss any. You can leave your name and points (and what you got each point for) in the comment section.**
2nd—Remember that book review we did a few weeks back on Minder by Kate Kaynak (aka Dr. Cyborg)? Well I have good news for you! Kate—doll that she is—emailed us a link to view 80 pages of Minder FOR FREE! But don’t worry, I’m not rubbing it in anyone’s face; all CTW readers get access to the link too! Will you look at that?! Follow us and you’ll get super cool incentives for reading through all the [insert expletive here] that we post! Minder is a great book and I’m stoked (yes, I did just say that) to read the sequel, Adversary =)
Visit Ganzfield and you can be a super-human too! ((Don't mention my name..))

*Note: I might have fibbed a bit about CTW members being the only people allowed to read the 80 page excerpt of Minder. What? You don’t like to feel special?!
