You shouldn't use them in a book because, you know, they are heroic...- some message that gives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15656979.post-1163553181414486992006-11-14T17:13:00.000-08:002006-11-14T17:13:00.000-08:00Kate~you're a doll!

Two years after the first American Title contest & it's the friends I made directly as a result of the contest that are the greatest treasure. <BR/><BR/>I'd worried that the comments would be biased--geared toward uplifting a male in the romance genre. As a nurse, I see this happen within that profession. Male nurses are more likely to get scholarships and promoted, simply because they are male in a female dominated profession. But this round's comments didn't seem biased...perhaps obtuse, though.Janice Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566715087094519463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15656979.post-1163552902624993972006-11-14T17:08:00.000-08:002006-11-14T17:08:00.000-08:00Diana, you're right on the women in combat.

I can't help but wonder if they purposely did this to cause more sensationalism for the contest. Either way, the comments were way off.Janice Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566715087094519463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15656979.post-1163531623133053902006-11-14T11:13:00.000-08:002006-11-14T11:13:00.000-08:00Right on, Janice.

I thought a lot of the judges' remarks were needlessly harsh this month and strangely sexist, too.<BR/><BR/>But in spite of all that, it's really satisfying to see our friends support us and vote for us and RANT on our behalf like you did for Lindsey. That's a very cool and lovely side benefit of this insane contest. *G*Kate Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863555050062113192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15656979.post-1163524493250379852006-11-14T09:14:00.000-08:002006-11-14T09:14:00.000-08:00Janice, thanks for taking this up.

To me, firemen are heroes and I don't regret having written about one at all. I think there are a lot of readers out there who would love to read about a firefighter hero. Same goes for a strong heroine, one with a military career included. <BR/><BR/>Lindsey Brookes<BR/>ATIII Finalist - OPERATION: DATE ESCAPEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15656979.post-1163519468048916012006-11-14T07:51:00.000-08:002006-11-14T07:51:00.000-08:00Fireman AND women in combat.

Of course, all the judges seem to be pretty brutal this round.<BR/><BR/>Here's to heroes everywhere, and if a guy who risks his life to save the life of strangers on a regular basis isn't a hero, I don't know who is.Terri Gareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082350715074451609noreply@blogger.com
