I entered a contest several months ago. Well, sent off my entry fee to the NY Midnight Short Story Competition. At Midnight on Jan. 15 we’re all given a genre and a topic and a week to write a short story about it. My genre is “Fantasy” and my topic is….well, it’s a secret. If I win this first heat, I go into a second and have only 24 hours to write a fantastic piece…first prize? $1,2500. Not bad. Off we go then!
