I made a mistake yesterday. I'm entering into a short story contest and since my first attempt went 3000 words over the ruled maximum, I'm starting from scratch with less then 2 weeks to complete it. oops. But that was only my first mistake. The one I was referring to is, when trying to decide on a new topic, I told myself their was only 2 things I needed to worry about. First that it fit the theme (endurance) and, that it was centered around a topic I was already very familiar with, since I wouldn't have much time for research. ...I obeyed my first rule? And hey, research is fun. The important thing is, I have my story! One day of skipped school, hours of Internet surfing and 3 library books later, I have my story =)
Since the story has to be really short, I'll be posting it when it's finished (assuming it reaches acceptability) So for a sampling of my fiction work, check back in January. The contest deadline is the 31st so It should be up soon after that.
Thanks for reading!
