| I responded to Stik to My Own Beat's entry "Some sense of accomplishment" in "American Hot Shit" [XGC] [edited]: NaNo... November was seldom a good month for me to write. I have more than three pieces started, but three that are far enough along to read, edit, add, reread, reedit... wash rinse repeat. The mere thought exhausts me. Finishing one would be a great accomplishment. People have encouraged me to run a contest instead of whining how some are run. (I have some legitimate concerns I still haven't put together to send to ___.) It's cheaper and easier for me to whine. Oh... I have the gps but running a contest can be similar to running a marathon. And judging is key. Finding judges who are mature, knowledgeable, willing and competent... maybe I'm expecting too much. Many competent people have moved on.  I don't have what it takes. I can barely focus on the little I do now. Maybe a one-off. Limited in time to when I have time. On a topic I'm competent and comfortable with. With a judge or two to help that can handle GC without going into spasms. *sigh* Maybe at least one new black case out there who isn't already part of the "Club"? Good luck on your writing endeavors. I have two days to tackle contest prompts if I so choose, if I get inspired, if... so many ifs." These are my thoughts Shadow Prowler-Spreading Love. I should support you in contests geared to the mature adult crowd. I just don't know whether I have what it takes. Long term commitments are a real issue as I want to be traveling, and although I could host/judge/etc from elsewhere (many travelers work remotely) I'm not sure that that would work for me. At this moment I'd like to be sitting on a beach in Portugal scribbling my thoughts disconnected from the internet. This is where I'm at today. That is subject to change. ~315 words Posted in "Blogville " 57739 |
