Feeling ambitious? Marilyn Zembo Day (who blogged here last week about writing groups) reminds us of the upcoming 3-Day Novel-Writing Contest. I get exhausted thinking about it…here’s a piece from last year that I wrote about the contest, including comments from one brave writer who actually participated.
Kudos to you if you’ve got this sort of energy. (Maybe this is what the remarkable Michael Phelps should do next, now that he’s conquered the Olympics!)
