Vote for me?
When LJ Idol began, I told myself that I wouldn't ask for votes, that my winning or losing should stand simply on my merit as a writer. I held high convictions that I could get somewhere with the competition without once having to turn and say "Please, go cast your vote for me!"
That lasted about a week. I started reading other people's entries (something you should do; they're awesome) and realized that I need all the votes I can get to get me as far along as possible. I want to stay in as long as I can, and the only way I'm going to do that is with a little help from my friends.
I've seen an improvement in my writing from when I started. Having a topic to focus my mind on, having to compete against so many other amazing talents, I've really had to stretch my skills. It's been fun.
I'd like to stay in. If you have a few minutes, please follow the link at the top and vote for me. If you have a good hour or so, follow some of the links to other people's entries; there are some really amazing pieces out there this week, just like every week.
The bottom two vote-getters in each of the three tribes are out this week. I'd like to stay in, and I need your help.
Thank you.
