The Short Story Contest Revisited

What did I learn from last months drubbing?

1. Don't call the readers idiots directly or indirectly.
2. Don't over think it. Dash it off. Edit. Call it good.
3. Better a good vignette than a bad story.
4. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtin or the prompt.
There is no point. Why write with restriction if no one else does?

Right then! I'm ready....
