I’m impressed. Hit refresh 5 times to get to the form, then it was no longer accepting by the time I finished typing. Go Cherries!

Me too, though speed typing has never been a skill I possess.

Me 3. I was so excited to see the form! Adrenaline coursed thru me and my typing was way off. But my main problem was the virus scan that kicked off at noon too. There are full second delays at times for my click to be recognized. Sigh.
Well, congrats to today’s winners. Only 3 copies left for tomorrow’s frenzy. Sigh. Argh.

I hate contests
they make me feel inadequate

Man, just cannot type fast enough! Congrats to the winners, whoever they may be!

this really does blow dead bears. And I’ll be driving all day tomorrow too, so big heavy sigh from me. And congratulations, of course, to the winners!!!

me either–damn !

gah! too late!

I saw the “thank you”!!! I’m soooo hyped up on adrenaline that…I can barely type. Oh please, oh please, oh please…

Ugh…second day in a row I got the form, but it was done taking submissions by the time I hit submit : (

I finally got a form – but it said I missed something, than said no longer excepting. There are some amazing typers out there!!!

The form popped up but I wasn’t one of the first 7

Progress… got a form today, but was still edged out by faster typers. Still, not loading to loading after all entries received to loading the actual form makes me feel optimistic. And worst case scenario is that I buy the book when it comes out so I can’t actually lose, right?
On February 25, 2010 at 12:10 pm Allie said...
We’re all winners when Jenny puts out a new book.
On February 25, 2010 at 12:53 pm Rox said...
It’s fun and great to be able to read a favorite author’s book way ahead of publication, but wouldn’t you buy a copy, anyway, when it does come out?
On February 25, 2010 at 4:48 pm Jennifer said...
I am soooo lucky to have gotten a book the first day, but there is no question whatsoever that I’ll also be buying the book when it comes out. Congratulations to all the other winners, and good luck to everyone else tomorrow!
On February 26, 2010 at 3:55 am CrankyOtter said...
Absolutely would buy the book. I’m lucky enough to have received several advance books (none from Crusie though) and sometimes its hard to keep my trap shut about it. But I like to have the finished edition too. They look less messy on display and how can I not support an author who was kind enough to give me a book in advance, if I like the book? Although I suppose writing good reviews for them can help more than the one book I buy.

Thank the gods that’s over with. Can the loser, I mean, non-winners have consolation prizes? Maybe some pictures of cute dogs? A scene that blows bears but we’ll love it anyway? Just a suggestion, as always.
On February 25, 2010 at 12:09 pm Kim said...
Second day that I got to the form, filled it out and then it said no longer accepting. I am done, can’t handle the disappointment…LOL! I will be buying the book when it comes out regardless, it just would have been fun to have one of these.
Thanks Jenny for giving us the opportunity to get an early read!!!

110 wpm, baby! I hope I got it…

My tummy is still tied in knots, but I got a form and a thank you! If I don’t win today and there is a drawing tomorrow, I may not be able to take the stress again, though.
I googled how to force Firefox to refresh the page and found a keyboard shortcut, Ctrl-F5, that I just kept clicking until, miraculously, a form I’d never seen appeared.
Fingers (and toes) crossed….
On February 25, 2010 at 12:16 pm Erin said...
I didn’t even get the “no longer accepting” message yesterday, but today I got the thank you, so fingers crossed that a) I got it and b) didn’t mis-type my address in my haste!
On February 25, 2010 at 12:18 pm Lori said...
Gah!

I spat out some salad at the first “blows dead bears” Trying to be all inspired by Jenny and Lucy/Lani (how *should* we refer to her here if we’re also following her at Lucy March?) and eating salad (with some not so healthy but organic at least, chipotle ranch dressing) and here you all are making me spit it out with laughter.
On February 25, 2010 at 12:42 pm Sierra said...
Ditto to CrankyOtter. Finally seeing the form was fantastic.
Tomorrow I’ll try again, and hopefully the adrenaline won’t screw up my typing again. I had to go back and fix where I’d typed “Sallad” instead of “Dallas,” and then put it in the right line. *facepalm*
On February 25, 2010 at 12:46 pm Lindsey said...
I won! OMG! Is it wrong to start drinking champagne at 10am at the office? I totally didn’t think this would happen. Thank you soo much!!
On February 25, 2010 at 12:48 pm Moth said...
Yeah I mistyped my address and then it was too late. Oh the pressure!
On February 25, 2010 at 12:51 pm Allie said...
Yay! I’m thrilled! Thanks, and good luck to everyone tomorrow!
On February 25, 2010 at 1:41 pm Louis said...
Yeah, got the form but fumble fingers didn’t go fast enough.
Congrats to the winners.
On February 25, 2010 at 2:03 pm Laura said...
Stupid phone rang at 12:00 and had to be answered. It slowed my typing.
On February 25, 2010 at 2:15 pm Sam said...
Congrats to all the other winners! Good luck to everyone! I’m soooo psyched!
Thank you Jenny for this great opportunity!!
On February 25, 2010 at 7:35 pm Dee said...
I didn’t get to be home today at 12:00.
Really would love the early copy to compare to the final. I think it would be educational for me. I’ll give it one last shot tomorrow, but I’m a slow typist, so I’m not too hopeful. Congrats to all the winners!

I’m so happy/jealous for everyone that is getting one!! I have no access to the internet in the middle of the day, so therefore all I can say is: Say it’s wonderful so we can all get a copy! Hurry!
On February 25, 2010 at 10:33 pm Micki said...
I think I love being a spectator! Even though this finished hours ago, I’m still caught up in the drama of it. And I think asking for an outtake “consolation prize” is pure genius, LOL!

Good heavens, I forgot about this entirely on Thursday. Where was my head???
