More writing stuff.

So, we didn't go to the writers' meeting Monday. I wanted to, but we spent too much time at the Alltel store. I got a cool new phone. =) We can do the writers' meeting next month, I guess.

In other news, I wrote a new short story of 450-or-so words for the Writers Digest "Your Story" competition. The prompt was "A character walks into a kitchen at the end of the day and finds something on the table that isn't supposed to be there." I could have gone with a severed head, but I decided to do something poignant about mental illness... a subject I know a little something about. I might blog it later... but then again, if it wins, WD is supposed to get exclusive first rights so they can put it on THEIR website. So... I'll wait until next month to see if I place in the top 5. hehehe

Speaking of WD contests, the deadline for the big one is coming up in May. I'll enter it kind of early this year. I'm not sure what to enter, though. Last year I submitted my BEST short story and didn't even place in the top 100... and I've only written like, one short since then. It's been a dry year, you know? That story I typed out last night was the first complete story I'd written in a long time. Since like, last August. Yeah.... long time. But I think I'm going to look online for a how-to-format page for writing play scripts. I already wrote a musical, but it's not in the right format. Or, I might use my zombedy screenplay. That would be something fresh. I hadn't finished it yet last year when I entered the contest. It could work.

That's all for now. More later. TTFN
