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?
Awwww!! So adorable!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, are your Sleeping Beauty stories going to be avaliable for reading even if they aren't accepted into the contest? Cuz they all sound really interesting!! Plus I am a sucker for Fairytale re-tellings!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I hadn't given it a lot of thought. But maybe! You would have to wait until after the contest is announced next year, though, just in case one of them wins. But if people are still interested at that point... :) It's a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteGood!! Because I would LOVE to read all three!!!
ReplyDeleteEvery snippet you share makes me want to read this even more!! So good, Esther! =)
ReplyDeleteYou know what's funny? It does the same thing for me!
DeleteI am SO looking forward to next year's collection!!!
