Whoa, another writing contest has popped up...this one more immediate · 6:53am Feb 6th, 2013
Writer's League of Texas Manuscript Contest Rules
I wanted to enter this contest last year, but it was cancelled then. Now, I have FIFTEEN DAYS to write 2500 words of a novel to submit to them. Winners in their respective categories get to speak with an agent and go to a writer's conference at the beginning of the summer.
This was the original way I wanted my Wild West Fantasy story to get published. Now, it looks like I may have my chance.
And it's strange. Had I not been rejected so early two days ago, i might not have been looking for this contest today. And I also had another strange occurrence today, where I found out a friend of mine (who's GREAT at editing stories) lives virtually next to me.
The first application felt like "LET'S STORM THE CASTLE!" and that went off with lots of fanfare, but failed. But now, something came up and it's like someone saying "I know another way. A faster way into the castle. Let me show you, but you have to act quick."
Fifteen days.
Whoa. So close.
I can do this. I just gotta try.
Well, I wish you luck in this endeavor.
That's allot of time to write 2500 words.

You're right! It's not much at all. The proofreading and editing will probably take more time. But thankfully I'm very familiar with the world I'm writing about. I've been exploring it since March 2011. This is gonna be interesting.

Thank you! All encouragement helps at this point. I've got another chance to get this story noticed and I'm gonna do what I can to get it done quick and get it done right!
800474 As long as you know the world, and have some one to edit, you should do fine.
Good luck!
