Yesterday, I entered Stella Cameron's Scarlet Boa Contest. Why? I had found out about the contest one day before we had five extra warm bodies staying at my house for six days. Yikes! Oh, I have a story, but I had to rewrite it--again, for the gazillionth time.
1) It had to be an introduction into your paranormal world--me likey my unfinished paranormal story.
2) It had to be less than 1000 words--I think mine clocked in around 825, and I liked the hooks on both ends of it.
3) I LOVE the challenge of a tight deadline. Today (9/25/09) is the deadline.
Perfect! And DONE!
I have no idea how many submissions she's gotten, but she's been supporting this contest for a few years now and I suspect the number of her entrants has been growing. First round of voting starts October 1 thru October 15. And yes, it is a popularity contest. Uhm, in case ya'll didn't get the memo, I have NEVER been popular.
And, of course, I'll post the link when I get the information. I'm going to need all the votes I can get, because I DO NOT see anyone reading all of the submissions!
Gotta go! Too much to do and very little time left to do it!
Write on!
Good luck, Margaret! Let GIAM know when the voting starts so we can vote for you.
ReplyDeleteDo you really win a scarlet boa?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Edie!
ReplyDeleteTheir website stated it would be a boa of undesclosed color. Guess scarlet it tough to find except in the S & M places.
