This blog is about a writing contest and it goes out to all my fellow writers out there.
I hesitated about this blog because I’m a little late in the game. This particular writing contest has an October 31st deadline, which is just ten days from now.
Then I remembered who the audience is here. I know first-hand that anyone who is interested in a writing contest will hear about it and then constantly scold themselves for not working on their piece right up until the night before the deadline when they finally sit down to hash it out in a stressed frenzy of creativity. So, really, I saved writers days, maybe even weeks of mentally thrashing themselves. This way, they only have to do it for ten days.
I know, I know…I’m a giver, what can I say?
