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?
WAIT. That means....March is almost over??? *runs around screaming* I can't believe it. Can't wait to see how the contest goes!!!
ReplyDeleteJulian, I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. And after such a "long wait", it's hard to believe that we're going to find out this Saturday!!!! Four and a half more days!!!!
DeleteCan't wait! Snow white as a boy or the evil Queen as a King.
ReplyDeleteYep, it would be totally awesome to see Prince Snow White in the collection this year. And I agree -- an evil King would be pretty cool, too.
DeleteAnd maybe the 7 dwarves should be female -- like a tribe of Amazons. That would be different!
Oooh, I like all of those ideas--both of you! And I'm sorry I'm behind on your countdown posts, Esther. :(
DeleteIt's okay! All those posts will be there waiting for you whenever you like! :)
