WRiTE CLUB - Last Call



At midnight CDT on Sunday, June 30th, will be the last time my wife will accept a 500 word writing submission for the 2013 WRiTE CLUB. That means you still have time to send in your own entry and take part in one of the most entertaining contest we have in the blogosphere.

Between that date and July 7th, the panel of 10 judges will be deciding which of those entries will compose the 32 member contestant pool for the one on one bouts that begin on July 8th.  Remember, whether you plan to enter a writing sample...or you just plan to vote for your favorite fighter during the bouts...you need to sign-up on the Linky List located on THIS BLOG POST.

I've also had a question regarding language...or more specifically...swear words (f-bombs) and other crude language.  The email asked whether I will be allowing entries containing the use of those words.  What I told them, and now you, is that the only restriction is the word count.  I am not censoring anybody...the panel of submission judges and/or the WRiTE CLUB voters will do that based upon their own values if they have a problem with it.  I make an announcement anytime a bout features a submission with "rough" language to warn my more sensitive readers, but I would never consider not allowing one to compete.

If anybody still has a question about WRiTE CLUB or it's rules, please leave me a comment and I will get back to you with an answer.

Are you ready to RUMBLE?!?!?!?!

    So question ... Because I am part of the panel, and because I'm going to be helping judge the final round, I was thinking that you pretty much wouldn't want me to vote on any of the rounds... Is that correct? If so, do you still want me to sign up on the Linky list?

    I sent an entry. I hope I get to compete! I don't think my entry included foul language, which is actually sort of shocking.

    Life has been too busy lately for me to get an entry in but I'm looking forward to voting. This is a great venue for writers to learn more about what works for short pieces (even if they're part of longer pieces!) :)

    Hey D.L,

    I never get involved in all these writing competitions and blog hops and blog fests and any challenge regarding the alphabet. However, I wish you and all those who do this one, much fun and fulfilment.

    And in my usual discreet background work, I shall share your posting to inform those who might like to participate before it's too late.

    Enjoy your Sunday.

    Gary

    Confusion. Are you telling me the last one started a year ago? It seemed like that was just a few weeks ago. Seriously. I'm having a freak out over work I need to have done by August 19, which seems really soon to me, so I'll pass this time. Will definitely vote when I can.

    Thanks for the reminder. I'm not submitting anything this time, but I'd be interested in possibly judging. So I just signed up on the Linky List. Sometimes Linky Lists and I aren't friends. I'd sign up for something, see that I'm on the list, and later on, I'd see I'm not on the list after all.

    Thanks for organizing. I think it's so great that you were able to get industry professionals involved in this.
