Psycho Synopsis and Crabby Cow Crap

I'd love to put a pretty picture up, but blogger is being difficult. *Sigh*. It's been like this all day. Don't ask.
Romance Divas has a contest going for a two page synopsis. I'm not judging. I read four of the entries and I just couldn't do it. I don't feel I know enough about the mechanics of writing a good synopsis to really look at someone else's. I really hated putting mine in the mix, but I need to improve, so in it went.
Crabby Cows also has a new contest. 500 words from the middle of a wip for slashing and burning. I couldn't resist. I subbed from my new one "Rough Seas". I know it's pretty rough, but I'd like to see what the reaction to it is. We'll see. I've probably just blown any anonymity I may have had. Oh well. I never claimed to be Jane Austen.
Life is CRAZY here. *Insert circus music here*. I think I go to the computer for a little relief from the insanity surrounding me. Which is good, since most of the insanity has little or nothing to do with me.
Picture Grumpy at the top left. Darn Blogger.
Putting one's work out there is difficult. How do you all deal with allowing others to cast a critical eye on your work? Comment O My Soul.

Update: Well, my 500 words are up on the Crabby Cows blog. I didn't do too badly considering they hate (I mean loath) romance. I did get the "Zzzzzzzz" from #1. LOL. Nothing new. They've thought most of my ideas are outworn and recycled. I'm learning to have a much thicker skin though.
