Tomorrow the 3-day novel contest will start up, and once again I will not be part of it. I’ve been trying to understand my reluctance to once again compete, seeing as I enjoyed my first outing. I finally figured it out.
Labor Day Holiday is a chance to take care of chores that have been neglected of late.
So why isn’t the 3-day novel contest scheduled for, say, the first weekend in January? For at least those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, and of sufficiently high latitude, we’re stuck indoors all the time anyways – might as well sit in front of the computer for three days straight and type, because otherwise it’s go out and endure bad weather.
My apologies to skiers and snow-shoers, but you’re just contrary anyways.
The other problem is that, as a software engineer & occasional blogger, I spend too much time in front of the computer already. Maybe when I quit programming I’ll be ready to throw myself into 3 days of mad typing.
3-day novel contest registration closes in just an hour or two, I think. Sorry I forgot to warn you folks sooner.
