Congratulations to Katydi

Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

Congratulations to Katydi

Congratulations to Katydid, Shadow Dragon, Dragonrider, Owlgirl, Theo W., The Teller Of Tales (Shadow Dragon [I was waiting for a clip of this to be published in a Cricket issue ;)]), The Manager (I don't know who this CBer is), Kaia, Doris B., Riley S., Vivian L., S.E., Hermione G., and Shadowdancer for being published! I was super surprised to find the Inkwell section in it (I learned of it after my sister said, scorn dripping from her voice, "There's roleplay stuff" after looking the Cricket issue over) but half the things published weren't even from the Inkwell. I wonder if any of my posts will be published. . . Probably not. But it can't hurt to hope, right? 

A side not: I'm entering the story contest. Wish me luck (or not)!

Thanks, Aquina! For the contest, I may need to rewrite it a few times because I'm having some trouble with the word count (seriously: 360?! That's only ten words off, come on!). I wonder if I can send a correspondant illustration with my story. . . 

The Cricket League word limit is strict, so do your best to edit it down. (Hyphenated words count as one word. The title does not count.) Yes, you can send an illustration, but it won't figure in the judging.

Okay, thanks, Admins. It's a relief to know that contractions don't count! Because then, I'd be in trouble. I think I need to rewrite it. My surprise visitor doesn't change much.

In Cricket League every word but the title counts. A contraction does count--as one word. A  hyphenated word counts as one word.

Is it the Camp Manager, or just the Manager? Please tell meee!

Disregard my last comment. The Manager is TARDISrider under a different name. I have a CB story written under the Camp Manager and I referred to myself as The Manager and I got confused. Never mind... *sigh*

Abigail- Sorry, but I just figured out that the notorious "Manager" is TARDISrider.

I just figured that out myself, too.

I haven't gotten my Cricket issue yet (it's only Jan seventh. I sometimes don't get it for a while), and I can't wait to see what is in it! Smile I love getting Cricket. It makes me so happy when I go to the mailbox, and I'm like "There's Cricket! Oooh look at the cover illustration!"

I know, Rosebud- every day, when I get home from school, I check the mail slot for a new Cricket issue. It's so exciting to get one!

Aww, Shadow, that's sad. Who stops getting Cricket? I don't think I will for a couple years, at least. 

Time is running out for me to submit my story- I think I'm wrapping up.

. . . .And my entry is sent! Yay, me! Admins, now you got me all excited for the February issue from your notes on other posts! I can't wait (Only ten. More. DAYS)!

There will be news of the new project posted on Chatterbox very soon, before the February issues arrive. Probably this coming week.
