Done with the first draft. Some rest, some edits, and my entry will be more than ready in time for the deadline. I really enjoyed the prompt, to be honest, and I got really into the story. Writing was so exciting, lol.

 

I've been lurking this competition for a while, missing deadlines. But got hit with some heavy news recently, strangely the first thing I want to do is post that I'm going to finish my submission this time.

I want to applaud everyone that has been finishing these submissions lately for being able to motivate yourself. It motivates me too, and I just want to encourage anyone struggling on motivation or revision to perservere and enjoy the process even if the end result isn't something they expect. Sorry for rambling, was drinking a bit, love this forum good luck on everyone's submission.

 

I'm submitted. I didn't have a beta so I'm curious to read what others think about the story. But it might be a good idea to find one for the next competition to be honest, cause I can't really judge my own writing for some reason.

 

Ah, thank you, but I'll just keep it as it is for this competition since I wouldn't have the time to edit it now anyway. But I'll make sure to find someone on Discord for the next one, sounds good.

 

My second draft is done! I want to do some edits then write a third draft/final version to submit. Sadly, that's all going to have to happen on Monday on a long train ride, cutting it super close, due to my work schedule this upcoming weekend. So glad we have the countdown in this thread!

Worst comes to worst I just submit what I have, but hopefully I can put a bit of polish on it first. Looking forward to reading everyone's entries!

 

Still got a couple thousand of words left, probably not going to be able to make the deadline, good luck to everybody else!

I'll be sure to review.

 

Except alignment. If you’ve centred or righted anything it won’t carry over.

Some special character/accents come with a colour tag too, also.

 

Just sent off my entry. In all honesty, I ended up with something totally different from what I thought it would be even a week ago.

Regardless of what happens, I'm pretty happy I turned it in at all. Looking forward to seeing what you all think of it.

 

And submitted. So incredibly thankful to business class train tickets, for providing me with leg space and a single row seat so I could crank out a few more edits and a bit of polish. It's not the best thing I've ever written, but I'm happy enough with it. Can't wait to read all the entries when they get posted!
