So the Northwest Writers' Association is having a literary contest for "writers to showcase their unpublished work." The contest categories include Mainstream, Historical, Romance, Mystery/Thriller, SciFi/Fantasy/Horror (uh?), Young Adult/Middle Grade, Nonfiction/Memoir/How-To, Screenwriting, Poetry, Short Story, Children's Picture/Chapter Book Adult Short Topics like essays and whatnot. The limit for the entry is 14 pages and that's when it's double-spaced, formatted perfectly and includes the synopsis (PS, who wants to write that for me?! Haha, joking... kind of). The deadline is February 17. If you want to join, I'll attach the link. Of course, I'm going to enter, and you're supposed to enter the first chapter (or prologue) of your novel, but since I was a wee child when I wrote the first chapter of the third book in my series, I'm taking an excerpt from another chapter way later and transforming it into the best "Chapter One" I've ever written. For those who are interested, I'm debating whether or not I should post what I'm going to enter from The Kids Are Alright. Let me know what you think!
