« I’m better than you are…or not
Where am I… »

Perfect writing, but where’s the life??

Red Pen Diaries had a entry that reflected my problem with RWA contests, as I discussed during my last RTB post. Meh manuscripts - that’s what strict following of all the rules will get you. A manuscript that conquers all the little boxes on our score sheets, but quite possibly misses completely on the Wow factor.

Okay, I’m done. Guess you can tell I’m not a fan of contests. Wonder if anyone will still want me to judge…

  3. Here is a sick admittance - a friend sent out a note asking for entrants in a contest that is getting a low turnout. And I considered it!!
    What is that power to lure they have over us?
