I'm gonna know by Tuesday if I won or shortlisted in the biggest short story competition held in my country. Nervous as a bag of prawns in Tallahassee.
>>24685897Nice! I hope you win.
>>24685897Good luck anon. We aren't all gonna make it, but maybe SOME of us are!
>>24685905Thanks, anon. I feel like my entry was strong enough for the shortlist. Total judgebait, but also stands on its own merit. If it doesn't place, I will expand it into a novella and hopefully get it published.
>>24685897Contests are worthless, you are scum
>>24685897Is this for the coveted Deodar Prize of 2025?
>actually writing stuff>actually submitted completed work to contests
I won the 8th annual "Royal Guam Creative Writer Championship" in Hagåtña, but no-one cared. The prize was a cowrie shell, but it wasn't even real. Hope you come from a slightly more geographically gifted country OP ...
>>24685897You must post. But hope you win anon!
>>24685897Clearly if you're comfortable with sharing your work with a panel of distinguished judges you'll also be comfortable with sharing it with us, right anon?
>>24685897Good luck to you
>>24685897>Nervous as a bag of prawns in Tallahassee.what country is this that you would know a saying like that outside of America?
>>24686072I don't think it's a real saying.
>>24685945Yes I won "The Bi-Annual Gambian Very Creative Writing Cup" and they gave me this shitty goblet made of some kind of jelly.. it was terrible.. they spraypainted it and the spray-paint melted in the heat (because this was in the Gambia) and I got fake-gold all over my hands and my grandmother laughed and told me I looked like a Twalaban bird.
>>24686103Lazy fucks. It used to be tri-annual. What happened?
Wait till you get home and I'll get it done in the morning
>>24686118They spent too much money on fake gold spray paint ..
>>24686103best post on this godforsaken board in a long time
>>24686072yes, it's very suspicious. too much a pastiche to be true.
