New Year's Resolutions-Subs Requested - Writers Forum

JollyMinstrel · 11-21-2007, 08:54 AM

Hey, fellow Writers, Readers, Critics and HypoCritics (LOL!)~come on, that's a good one, admit it....

Anyway,

I am inviting you to submit your New Year's Resolutions as it relates to your writing. Are you going to start/finish that novel? Go back to school? What goals are you going to set for 2008? What challenges are you going to conquer?

You can write a list, a story, anything you want. There are only three rules:
1. Keep it clean. ( a "damn" or "hell" once in a while is okay, but that's about it.)
2. Keep it at 500 words or less.
3. Submissions MUST be emailed to wolf@chuckstips.com; please include your submission in plain text in the body of the email, and be sure to include your byline as you would like it to appear (pseudonyms are just fine). GUIDELINES HAVE CHANGED: POSTS ON THIS THREAD WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR CONSIDERATION. [Do not post your personal information here, if your entry is chosen, you will receive a private message with further instructions on how to receive your free gift.]

Chosen submissions will be posted on the writers page at Chuck's Tips ~ "For The Best Of Your Life" and on the site's archive blog.

There is no monetary compensation, but those chosen will receive a free gift (not a cheesy ebook--a real gift!) and a reciprocal link to the site or page of their choice.

PLEASE NOTE: Posting on this thread is great...share away! But posting on this thread will not enter you for consideration on the website.

Any questions, please email wolf@chuckstips.com .

Thanks
...and Happy Holidays!

(The guidelines have been changed to allow you to enter your writing by posting on this thread, Nov. 25, 2007)

It ain't easy. I had to fake my own death and move to another state, then I joined this weird cult that uses implanted electrodes -- they give me a 1000 volts if I even think about a cigarette... OUCH!! there it goes again.

I just thought I would add that the deadline for submissions is December 23, 2007, and would also like to announce that, by polite request, posts to this thread WILL be considered for inclusion.

Here are the new guidelines:
1. Email or post here your entry
2. Entry must be 500 words or less and be true to the theme (New Year's Resolutions as it relates to your writing)
3. For your safety, please do NOT post personally identifiable information such as your real name, address, etc. If your entry is chosen, you will receive a private message with further instructions on how to receive your free gift.

Thanks to those who have already entered! We're having a great time with your great writing!

Much as I'd like to help, my only resolution this year doesn't apply to my writing. I resolve not to kill my finace's mother over the wedding plans, even though no jury in the land would convict me.
