So why not start small: 100 words a day.
I'll be running this contest in partnership with my club 100 Words Daily. I strive to help others create better writing habits, and so I'm basically giving away prizes. 100 words a day for 30 days, and you've got it in the bag.
It doesn't even have to be prose! You can write 100 words of poetry, or essays, or screenplays. It just has to be 100 words of creative writing of some sort.
Wait, it's that easy?
Yep, it's that easy. Write 100 words daily from July 1st to July 30th, and record it in the club. Link to your progress thread here so myself and my volunteer judges can keep track of how you're doing, and at the end of the month we'll tally it all up and hand out the prizes.
All writing must be recorded by July 31st!
Are there rules?
Just one, really:
Honesty. This contest is being run on an honor system, and if I hear of dishonesty for the sake of winning, I reserve the right to disqualify any contestant. Just do your best, find time to write, and don't worry about writing a thousand perfect words. I won't be mad if you fudge one day because of changed plans or how busy you are (trust me, I get it), but there will be no tolerance if someone fudges the entire month just to get the prize.
So what is the prize?
All contestants who complete the month get to choose one of three prizes:
- 400 points (generously donated by guest judges)
OR
- 2 reviews (by myself and, again, my generous guest judges)
OR
- a book or anthology cover (by myself, only for personal use, not licensed for commercial use)
Where do I sign up?
Right here! Post in this thread to let me know if you'll be participating, then head over to 100 Words Daily and make your progress thread for the contest. (If you already have a thread there, you can use that one!)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here as well.
Happy writing!
