Well, I’ve completed a number of writing projects lately, though none have moved me any closer to the ultimate goal of finishing a novel. Still, at least I’m writing.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Finished and submitted my story for Karen Lee Field’s writing contest. You still have until the end of the month to win an Amazon gift card, so don’t forget to enter. I really want to post that here, but I’ll wait for her to post it to her site on November 1.
- Wrote a story in defense of Jar Jar Binks for a writing contest held by sci-fi author John Scalzi. Here is a link to the contest, and you can do a search in your web browser for “strugglingwriter” to find my entry.
- I entered writing agent Nathan Bransford’s first paragraph contest, posting the opening paragraph from the novel I’m currently “working on”. You may have a bit of difficulty finding my entry there, but I can tell you mine is entry number 1958 or so, posted at October 14, 2009 1:21 PM, and is under the name Paul.
- Began a 35,000 word tribute to the greatness of Captain Lou Albano (RIP) and his marvelous rubber bands. Well, not really, but I’m still gonna miss the guy. My only question I have, though, is what exactly was he a captain of, other than Industry?
So, I have been busy, but not overly productive. That my friends, is why I call myself Struggling Writer.
