I read the good news this morning - out of 123 entries into Rachelle Gardner's current contest, I made it into the top six! My fantasy buddy, Rebecca LuElla Miller, also is a finalist.
The prize for the winner is sweet - either a $20 gift certificate or an evaluation of the winner's work-in-progress by Rachelle, a CBA agent. But to win it I need your help. Go to Rants & Ramblings and place your vote on the sidebar. If you don't think mine's the best, vote for Becky's then. ;) Enjoy the mini-stories!

Novelists Boot Camp: 101 Ways to Take Your Book From Boring to Bestseller
By Todd Stone
see relatedYou Are a Log Ride 
You don't tend to get yourself worked up easily. You can roll with what life throws at you.
In relationships, you are steady and solid. You maintain a pretty broad perspective on what's going on.
That's not to say you can't get swept away. You're emotions run as deep as anyone else's.
Your life seems like it has been remarkably easy so far. But that's due to how you manage it.
You never stretch yourself too thinly, and you think out your decisions carefully.
Taking the time to enjoy each day is important to you, and you don't let your emotions rule you.
You stay the course and do what's right... knowing it will all work out in the end.
At your best, you are tolerant and understanding of other people's quirks.
You take "go with the flow" to the extreme. Even if you don't like where you're going.
At your worst, you repress your feelings and end up being a little tightly wound.
You definitely have some explosive emotions that occasionally come to the surface!You Belong in LA 
Celebrity sightings, trendy restaurants, and clubbing all night are more your thing.
And who knows? You might become the next beautiful person the paparazzi stalks!You Are Cereal 
(In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.)
Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food.
Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance.Your Fragrance Profile 
The best fragrance for everyday wear: sandalwood
The best fragrance to boost your sex appeal: rose
The best fragrance for energy: peppermintYou Are a Conservative Chick 
You speak your mind, even if everyone else around you disagrees.
As you see it, you have to stand up for traditional values and what's right.Your Superpower Should Be Mind Reading 
You understand people better than they would like to be understood.
Highly sensitive, you are good at putting together seemingly irrelevant details.
You figure out what's going on before anyone knows that anything is going on!
Why you would be a good superhero: You don't care what people think, and you'd do whatever needed to be done
Your biggest problem as a superhero: Feeling even more isolated than you do now
