Jon, not only are you an incredibly talented writer, but you are a very fair and articulate critic as well. I agreed with all your reviews: I just don't have the talent to write such well-balanced critiques.

I still think your journal entry (#1) is by far the best. It reminds me of a Mark Twain novel. It takes you back in time and into the shoes of the character(s)...like time traveling.

Susan :-)

I was looking through the Contests page looking for a particular one that a friend was entering and I came across your Writers Challenge. I was saddened to see that there were only two entries. That is a real shame. I am an avid reader and think the Journal Theme is a great one. I enjoy all types of genre, but autobiographies and biographies have always been a favorite of mine. Both journal entries were good, but I got deeper into the character of Joseph Dempsey. I would love to see it made into a book. It is wonderful story-telling via journal. It would be great to know who wrote it. I agree with the comment about allowing names on the entries since this is not going to be judged by votes, but by comments. Anyways, I feel I shouldn't even be commenting in your forum since I submit my artwork in the Mixed Mediums category, but I felt compelled to comment because of my love of reading and the excellent entry by #1. I hope you don't mind. Good luck with the Challenge. Sincerely, Susan

Thank you, cynlee!!

Okay, so even though the Clintons are part of the Photo Fantasy CD-ROM program I should not use them. I should stick to the templates in the program that do not involve known personalities? Like this other one I made?

Thank you very much for your patience and time.

Sue :)

Okay, let me make sure I am clear on how to do this correctly. LOL. I can upload the image(s) into Mixed Medium as long as the inserted images that are used in the Lexmark Workshop Photo Fantasy "templates" are only of myself and that I credit Lexmark and any other software I use to render the image. I am not to use anyone else's face, especially one taken off the web, unless I have written permission. Correct?

Thank You,
Sue

I am very sorry, but I don't completely understand your answer to my "Question". Is the photo example I provided okay to use? I feel like a dummy, but I am still unsure. The original to my face in the photo is on my Home/Artists Page. Do I need to somehow include that with my photo?
