… not run by me.

Miss Kate Rothwell is running this month’s contest on the account of me being a lazy cow with no money. The deadline is November 24, 2007.

You enter 400 words or less. If you put in 500 words I’ll know and I’ll leave you up but you probably won’t be a finalist. We’re not all about the rules, but there might as well be some way to eliminate the thousands of entries we’ll get.

Heh. Once I ran a Best Reviews contest no one entered and I kept opening up the thing. First it was romance reviews. Then anyone could enter. Then it was fine, go lift something from Amazon. I don’t give a f***.

Bam hated WIP things (um, oops. I didn’t notice that rule once) I say if it stands alone without a sense of wtf?, and if it works, okay.

Here’s November’s topic: Revealing The Big Secret. You get points for never actually saying outright what it is. Show don’t tell, baby. Speaking of which, there was some thought to making it a Secret Baby, but heck, you do your secret. Maybe you get points for making it a Secret Baby just because anyone who can write that well deserves points.

You win a twenty dollar gift certificate to Amazon or Samhain (I’m cheaper than Bam). AND you win a book. I have a beautiful pile of them and you get to pick one. And you win the glorious button that I’m going to make eventually to proclaim to the world that You Are A Professional Award Winning Writer. Hey, you won the contest and you’ll paid for your writing, right?

and here are the prizes:

You’d win:
* a pair of Bosnian Sox
* a book with a Big Secret in it (I have one all picked out) or one of mine.
* $20 to spend on more books with or without big secrets.
* A gorgeous e-button declaring you are a champion pro writer.

So go. Now. Then come back here on December 1st for MY writing contest.
