In less than a month, those of you who wish they had the time and gumption to write a novel can compete in the 3 Day Novel Contest. First prize is to get published!
But you only have three days to write that world-beater.
My Arts Editor and I competed in this, just once. Our effort had some good writing in it, and some atrocious writing. Perhaps most importantly, though, it managed to get a rather mediocre idea out of my brain and onto paper – and now it doesn’t bother me anymore.
Instead, a new one does. Gah. Maybe – once again – I shan’t have time to do it.
