Hi, just popping in for a quick update. I haven't forgotten you, and I really will return. But I have started a new job this month, among other new things, and things have been a little crazy. So hang in there, my friends. I will resume writing before too long, and hopefully it will be even better because of the break. :D
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 luck with your job. :D
ReplyDeleteLife does get pretty crazy sometimes, I can totally relate :). Starting a new job sounds like it would be hectic! But yes, sometimes writing does improve after a break. Looking forward to your return :).
ReplyDeleteI miss seeing you around the internet, but I completely understand what it's like to be busy. I'll look forward to the time when the blogging world will be blessed by your presence yet again.
