I'm in Write Club with Craig...

Craig/Richard,
Thanks for the Write Club recommendation. I'll definitely check it out!

We are all united in doubt and hope.

Excellent capper, Craig!

I love "Scanners"!

2 weeks?! Oh man, every time I log in I adopt that Michael Ironside "Scanner" face, which for those observing is not too far from my sex face. The other day I was checking the polls and my wife walked in, saw my face, and asked, "Are you looking at porn?" 2 weeks. killer.

[JJ Holden]

Scanners? Exploding heads? You bloodthirsty lot. Anyone would think you were horror writers or something.

[Ben Staad]

Okay. Good.
I won't have to worry about it, I'm sure. Getting my hind-end handed to me in group 4.

Did better then me...Congrats. I'm thrilled that someone other then my wife liked my story enough to vote for it.

BTW...Thanks to whomever voted for my story.

[Draven Ames]

Now we have to make it longer just to see a head explode. Awesome!

You are mean, Ken. I like it.

This is a contest, not a contract. Go for it. If you end up winning, but you get into the anthology too, by no means are you obligated to be in the chapbook. At least not until you sign the contract we will send to the winners.

I concur. I think my head will explode if it's two weeks!

[WesleySouthard]

Please only make it one week. I beg you. My ocd nature can't take checking the polls for 2 more weeks. The winners can wait for you to get back, but two weeks will kill my BP.

[Draven Ames]

I was thinking a week, but I might leave them up for two as I'll be on vacation the following week and won't be around to do the work that'll need done when the voting is over.

This may have been answered already, but after next Wednesday when the final round starts, how long will those stories but up to vote for? I'm guessing a week?

I'm in Write Club with Craig (he's a great writer BTW, did you check out "13" yet?) and having a network of supporters is so important. Keeps up from going insane. I know a lot of people at The Cult and The Velvet as well, and those are some great places to hang as well. I'd probably have quit by now without those support groups.

[Craig Wallwork]

Great points, Mstrom. I think too, this process has brought a new wave of interesting writers to my attention, and maybe, at the end of this process, the possibility of getting to know some very cool people. I'm part of another writer's forum called, Write Club. Over the two years I've been a member I've met some wonderfully talented people, which I now class as friends. You're right, places like this allow us to share our fears and frustrations. We are all united in doubt and hope.
