Scribes Blog Carnival
Welcome to the August 4, 2008 edition of Scribes!
As always, thank you all for your entries. A couple reminders: First, you’re only allowed two submissions, preferably in different categories.
Second, there is a deadline for a reason. If you submit after the deadline, yes, I’ll know. No, you won’t get into the carnival. I’m not being ‘mean’; I’m giving you a reminder for the industry - obey the rules. Especially when submitting your work.
That being said, I hope you all enjoy this month’s carnival and submit your work to the next one as well. Thank you!
