Totally amazeballs (we're channelling Jamie Harrington), right?
So, really, the only question left is, what would you do with $1000?
P.S.

This is really amazing. :D
Oh, I'm glad I stopped by because I totally thought this was a Twitter hack when I saw it this morning. This is huge. Very cool.
You guys are awesome. It's like this cool YA clique I wish I was in.
Kinda had a "duh" moment. You girls are AWESOME! I'll be sure to blog the word at Sisters in Scribe. Good luck to all who enter!
You girls are hiliarious. I'm now cancelling my bacon stand for this afternoon. Maybe I'll have to enter (since I had to cancel the stand). Of course first I have to finish writing the book.
Friggin' hilarious! One thing on my bucket list... make it into a Roecker and Friends video! :)

Bacon...50Cents. bahahahaha
and Im entering! YES I AM!!!
Hey, just a heads up -- if you click on the second link in the first part (readingroom.com v. thereadingroom.com) it takes you to the wrong site.
Holy crap, this is awesome!!! So entering :D but, stupid question... in the video and on here, it says "submit the first 500 words of your novel", but on the website where you apply, it says "Write a 500 word pitch for your novel." O.o am I the only one confused by that? :/
I have the same question as Ellen. Is it a pitch or the first 500 words?????
Pitch or first 500 words. must know.
First 500 words of a completed manuscript!!! THANKS for entering!
Love the whole pre-school reality show tidbit of the video. So excited to enter to win!
Great, thanks!! Entered now :D
