Lesson of the day: don't let the fear of a broad audience scare you.
I have been reviewing the pros and cons of submitting a three-minute fiction to the NPR contest. I like to just write but I never write with a particular audience really and I've never thought about writing for a prize either. Well, a grade could be a prize I guess.
Today I said, "Screw it! I'm gonna take a wack at it and try to write that short story whether or not I like the prompt." It was rather declarative and for me a little out of the norm.
Sorry, I had to take down the excerpt. I learned that it was breaking a contest rule.
