I just thought I'd mention this, because there's still a little time if you want to participate...
I'm entering the Writers Weekly 24-Hour Short Story Contest this weekend.
You have to write a whole story in 24 hours.
Here's how it works:
- * You get a prompt and word limit at start time, Sat. April 18th at noon central. (The word limit is 5 pages or less, essentially. It's been 900ish to 1100ish words in the past)
- * Your story must touch on the prompt in some way, but need not match it exactly.
- * You must turn in the story by the deadline of noon Sunday.
