So I have a 2 in 22K chance of winning #TheNextBigStory, the writing competition run by #TheNovelry.

No worries.

I’m just amazed at the number of new stories that made their way into this competition. Creativity is alive and kicking.

Did a thing. Entered a writing competition. One chapter, three pages. 1500 words. Now, I’m this thing I’m writing is out there. It’s a tiny, minuscule chance. But worth a shot… #thenovelry #writing #competition

This week I entered a writing contest by #TheNovelry. I've struggled with getting my story laid out in the past year, and having an external deadline with clear instructions forced me to get my thoughts organized. I love what I wrote and am proud of myself. Hope they're impressed. #writingcommunity

I know some members of the #WritingCommunity are curious about #TheNovelry. I honestly can't say enough good about the experience. I'll be writing more in a blog post, but for now I will just say I got all that I hoped and more from the experience.
