Not dead. Just run off my feet and as soon as I post this, I’m running off to do more work! I will catch up on important matters, here, as soon as I can, so thank you all for your patience!
I found out through my good friend, David, that the Mythgard Institute is holding a writing contest for microfiction!
Behold: Almost an Inkling Writing Contest
Is that great, or what? It’s short notice for the first entry, but then, how long can 333 words take? (Unfortunately, for me, the answer to that can be years…)
I have submitted an entry, of course, though I don’t think it’s up yet. It’s under my own name, so those of you who only know me as Jubilare might not be able to figure out which one it is unless you just happen to know my style that well. But that is how I want it! If you don’t know which one is mine, you can’t be tempted to favor (or disfavor) it because of me. So much the better.
Voting is here: Almost an Inkling Writing Contest
So go forth and write, and even if you don’t want to do that, then at least have fun reading and cast your vote for your favorite nibblet of fiction.
’till anon, be well!

[…] one or both of the following challenges: Almost an Inkling Creative Writing Contest courtesy of the splendid Jubilare and/or The First Line Literary Journal’s Winter prompt. Anybody with me, dear pond readers? […]

Oh! How inspiring. I might have to give this a try…Thanks, Jubilare! I look forward to reading your entry. :-)

Please do give it a try! I look forward to seeing what sprouts from that fae-haunted brain of yours.

Yay!

I really like this idea, but I wish they would collect all the submissions from one week and THEN post them and open voting. It seems pretty unbalanced that some stories could be posted and getting votes for six days while other stories are not yet up.

It’s true, I’ve wondered that myself. Though it’s a little balanced by the fact that one winner is chosen by popular vote, while another is chosen by judges, presumably once all entries are in. Also, it seems we can vote for more than one, and more than once if we find a later entry we like.

I also am not dead, although it might seem like it looking at my blog…Hopefully I will get back into writing more soon!

I am glad you are not dead! And that you have plans to write more! Please do. And please don’t go dying any time soon, either.

Haha! Well, no promises, but I’ll do my best! I keep hoping work is going to calm down but it hasn’t seemed to happen yet…

It might not ever (though I hope it does). Be prepared to wrest your life back by force, if necessary.
