Hmmmm...All I want is to wish you a good happy new year ;)
Very cool. The picture is even more incentive than the other prizes!
Yahooo! :<)
I am so enjoying reading the entries already Jason. This looks like the start of a great contest for all of us. Bring it on...
www.mypoeticpath.wordpress.com
Just noted this post's date: Jan 14th???
Theres so me good stuff in that list!
I just submitted my entry. I soooo want it posted now! Just kidding, of course. :)
sheesh, wish we could edit our posts..my kitty was helping me..again :(
Oh, it's already on!
I'm going to read for sure!!!
Fancy, happy New Year!
Jennifer, thanks! I've often thought of eliminating the picture prize, but then I think that folks would like a memento from winning.
Geraldine, lots of entries rolling in! This post is post-dated to the end of the contest so that the index always stays on top.
Peggy, very true. :)
Strugglingwriter, I think you may be in the 21 - 25 group. Not positive though.
Peggy, I can fix typos and such.
Szelsofa, have fun. :)
How many votes do we get for reader's choice? There's a couple of stoies I've read that stand out amazingly - I'm not sure I could pick between them.
Thanks for the contest. cant wait to see who wins :-P
and a very happy new year to all.
Thanks for the heads-up re: the date Jason, I thought I had lost a week somewhere LOL. :<)
Re: Readers' Choice Voting: Rules for this portion of the contest will be posted at the end of the entry period. But in short, all participants are invited to vote for their top 5 favorites.
Harshad, you're welcome! (All in good time, my friend.) ;)
Geraldine, yeah, that would be disconcerting.
hey jason, is it me or are there only 20 posted?
it reads '21' in your note....
Laughingwolf, that was the number yesterday. I post in 5 entry blocks and make sure that everyone has at least part of day on the top page (except at for last minute entries at the end).
Jason, I'm afraid the link from my name doesn't work... :-)
This contest seems to be record breaking indeed!
Good luck to every one :)
Gosh, I can't keep up with them all and they all seem good. I don't envy you your task in selecting winners.
I agree with Aggie. You've got your work cut out Jason. And what an amazing array of takes on this photo and prompt.

I've been reading and commenting and now I can't remember if I commented on them all, whew my work is cut out for me..gotta start over again! These are all so good! Some of them can bloom into full fleshed out stories!
Great job everyone..back to reading :)
Jason, I don't know how you are going to possibly decide! There are many excellent pieces here, and so fun to read. Now they are coming so fast and furiously that I can't possibly keep up!
Great work everyone, what fun!!
I wonder if we're going to make it to 100 entries like we did that one other time? Keep the stories coming people :)
No more good ones, though (there's already too many good ones). I want to win :)
Hey Jason,
Lovely contest. Hope you received my entry! I m dying to see it posted here :)
Wow...great response...dude good work..
best of luck to everyone!
Tremendous amount of talent on display here. Nice one mate. Well enjoyed the reads. Ta very much
How are you supposed to keep track of your favorites? There are so many!! Thanks for hosting it.
I can already tell you that this contest is going to break records! Thanks everyone!!
When do we vote re: the reader's choice awards? Do we email our choices or leave as a comment.
Wow, that's an impressive list of entries Jason. And the work submitted is excellent. Great choice of photo to inspire!
WOW!!! 95 entries so far?! That's crazy!!! Way to go, Jason! I think it's a testament to how great your contests are!
Geraldine, the rules for the Readers' Choice Award will be posted when the contest closes. The voting period will begin then.
Precie, thank you! This contest is a BIG one. :)
Congratulations Jason,on the biggest contest The Clarity Of Night has ever seen!
Glad to be a part of it :)
110 entries. That is amazing. It may take a while for everyone to read/vote on all those entries.
Paul
Oh. My. God!
