And the Snappiest Dialogue excerpt Champion is

First, I want to share some of very supportinve comments these two authors recived these past two weeks:

· Love the snappy dialogue because it always piques my interest and I keep reading! Good writing from both authors!

· Both are really great! I wish I could read more of these stories. =)

· Loved them both! Hard to choose. Can't wait to see who wrote them.

· My grandfather used to quote the same verse to me as a child except he started with, "One figgy, foggy morning, cloudy was the weather I chance to meet..." I found this very interesting as a result.

· Loved the "misty, moisty morning!" set into the dialogue. Very clever!

· Wow! Tough one. Good job authors.

· Both are cute. Hard choice.

· Sample B's last line is terrific.

· Oooh...I love both of these snippets! Definitely makes me want to know "the rest of the story" in both situations. Great dialogue!

· Loved the dialogue in both of these snippets. What great characters!
