The June 30-Day Challenge Thing w/ Monetary Incentive
Okay...here's my challenge: write 30 stories in 30 days.
plain and simple.
Poetry and/or flash fiction of 1000 words or less (or 2 Word doc. pages, which ever comes first).
Yup, one each day for the month of June.
The winner will receive a $20 Barnes and Noble gift certificate.
Winner will be judged by:
--length of pieces in adherence to 1000-word-or-less rule (i will copy/paste it into Word to count them)
--number of works submitted. (if you submit 27 and everyone else submitted 25, theres a good (but not definite (other factors ARE considered)) chance you'll win).
--i CAN'T judge on creativity because we'll just get into a big cyclical 'art is relative' debate which i'd rather not have now. or ever for that matter. BUT, if all yr pieces are pretty much exactly the same w/ just a few words changed, its gonna work against you.
Honor System Rule:
if you have 30 short stories ALREADY written, please don't use 'em. anyone can pilfer their files for old stuff. The challenge is to WRITE 30 stories/poems in 30 days.
Jotting down ideas is okay. just don't have it all pre-written BY June 1st.
SPECIAL WORD TO ADMINS :
You may grant the ability to self-publish onto the blog to anyone you wish FOR THE MONTH. after that, it's out-ski with 'em...unless you really like what they have to offer, then you can make a half-hearted case to which i'd undoubtedly crack under. OR, have them submit to you and you post. whichevs. I'm easy.
So, all you artsy-fartsies, sharpen yr pencils, buy a pack of black Bic fine points, put on a vat of coffee. The literary world awaits our words!!
Onward and upward,
