I entered for the first time last year, locked my inner editor in the closet, and sat down at the computer every day at the same time (that does work). Some days I put in more than 2,000 (binge writing) and some days less but here's where I went wrong. I didn't have any prep work done except the idea. They said you will write a lot of "c" and they were right. It was a grueling pace but I stuck with it and I won; but when I went through what I wrote, I found it to be exactly as they described it and worse. It wasn't worth revising, a few great scenes only, and I dumped the whole thing. <br />I had a great time and am going to do it again. However, this year, I am prepped and ready to go! But I'm not shooting to win. My plan is to write a decent rough draft and go ahead and let my inner editor out of the closet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
