It’s Not What It Looks Like Competition

Quote by TomEccleston

The theme and concept seemed so simple on the surface, but when I got down to it, proved decidedly more difficult than I expected to fashion a story. Maybe that should have been the story itself!

Judging by the excellence of other entries, this might have just been a me-problem, though. Loving this field.

I had the same issue. The first week or two after the comp was posted I was wracking my brain for ideas and continuously drew blanks. I finally decided to sit out on this comp. About a week before the End Date, inspiration came to me.

Oh, pish posh. A muse of wonder, perhaps. ☺️

So it was not just me. I felt the same. It seemed like an easy one to come up with something interesting for but I went through three different story ideas that failed at various stages of drafting before my entry, the fourth, kind of stuck the landing.

I also had three attempts that went nowhere. I finally decided just to write a true story and was able to reach the finish line on time!
