Eight days. Do you know what that means? Barely over a week. Tomorrow will be one week from the announcement date. Are you excited? I am. So, today, I want to talk to those who wrote something for the contest, whether or not you entered it in the end. What made you start writing your story? What was the first inkling of an idea that tickled your brain? What was it that you liked about your premise? As you wrote, did you have a favorite character or a favorite scene? And are you glad you wrote it down? Do you feel like you learned and grew in your ability as a writer as you tried out things for this contest? And, if your story isn't included in this year's Rooglewood anthology (either because you didn't submit it or because it didn't fit with the other four stories selected), what will you do with it? Will you market it elsewhere? Or will you lock it away in a drawer?
Good girl! Make them work for it.
ReplyDeleteJanie, you comment pretty often on here! I think I first found this blog from Taking Dictation and was surprised to see my Aunt had commented on it.
DeleteYes, and I'm always awed and humbled and delighted whenever I see her comments. She is an amazing writer.
DeleteAh, Janie! You are one of only 2 or 3 people who have any idea what is going on. :D :D :D
