A meta story about participating in a writing competition would be extraordinary!

Thanks, Andrew! I think we’ve got a good batch of competitors and it’s going to be a CLOSE competition for sure!

I will watch vicariously from my nonfiction perch. I don't personally want for motivation to write, but I absolutely LOVE stuff like this that can draw the best out in people.

This is going to be great, and I can't wait to read everyone's work! I'll be subscribing to all in the coming days so I can keep in the know on submissions as they are published.

Thanks, SCOOT, for your consideration. It means a lot to be included in such company!

For the competitors, what do we say as writers? Break a thumb...? I never liked that one. How about, best of luck, I hope to be in similar company for the next competition.

Semper Fidelis,
