Okay, thank you! I'm seriously thinking about it.

Now that I'm pretty much assured NOT to advance this time around, I may throw my hat into the ring here, InnateJames. I'm already doing Short Screenplay and Fiction War, but this could be fun. And a good opportunity to continue building my portfolio of (non-disposable) stories.

Can you send me more information so I better understand the challenge and its requirements?

And congrats on your 15! Smile

Don't give up, Lisa! I've seen people score zero on the first NYCM round, make 15 points on the second and then go on to the third round. You never know. 

Looks like you're already reading the website, which is the info I would have sent you to. let me know what further info I can provide for you.

Hey Nate!

I participated in YeahWrite weekly challenges for years and can vouch for them as swell people, swell writers, and especially helpful for people just starting a writing practice.

Thanks so much for giving us a shot, nod1v1ng! I will talk to the other editors about starting a dog care service for dedicated writers.

I agree, GallifreyGirl, sleep is overrated; I'd much rather be writing. Thanks for taking a chance on us! I wish you good luck!
