It was a dark and stormy night



The official deadline of April 15 is fast approaching for the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (you know, the bad writing contest). Each entry must consist of a single sentence of any length, but the website strongly recommends entries not go beyond 60 words. You may enter as many times as you like, and entries must be original and unpublished.

Entries will be judged by categories, from “general” to detective, western, science fiction, romance, and others. There will be overall winners as well as category winners.

The official deadline is April 15. The actual deadline is June 30, so you still have plenty of time. Check out some of the past winners on the website: http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/
 
Write (badly) soon,
Mary

  4. This contest is a true conundrum. Should you be happy if you win or insulted?
