Thanks for the support Kathy. I was lucky to have a completed MS at the time they announced the contest and now i’m just using the next month to polish it up before submission!

Thanks Monica. Yeah, I’m still having him be very persistent and I’m keeping some of the stuff that makes him who he is, but I’m just working on giving more glimpses into his good natured side. I had too many judges/crits/beta readers tell me he’s too much of an asshole, so i’m just toning it down a bit. Not too much, but enough so that my readers won’t get PO’d lol. The scene restructuring is actually making the story meld better, I should have done it a long time ago, but wasn’t sure how until I sat down and did a quick outline. So really, his attitude’s toned down just a bit and the scenes are in a different order than before. Thanks for the support though! I really appreciate it. Doing a big contest like this is kind of nerve wracking lol.

You know, I had an asshole hero in my story Bluestocking Christmas. But he got redeemed by late in Chapter 4 I think. So don’t worry too much about him being redeemed in the first three. If readers see something, even a little something, they’ll read.
