Anyone else not able to get enough of these challenges??

I'm counting down the hours until the Writing Battle opens (Feb 1), and then I'll be waiting for the Writers' Playground prompts to come out (Feb 15).

Who else is joining these comps?  What other comps do I need to sign up for?


Should I be editing my novel?  Yes.  Am I just writing short stories instead?  Absolutely.

LOL

Globe Soup is having a horror challenge this month. Tickets are reasonable  (depending on where you live and your exchange rate. The price is in GBP), but I don't think they give feedback like Writers Playground does.

If anyone is interested in an essay contest, The Great American Think off is fun and free to enter. As a bonus, if you are selected as one of the four finalists, they will fly you to a small town in Minnesota where you get to debate the essay question with the other finalists in front of the whole town. The experience is very like being on the set of a Christopher Guest movie.

Signed up for Writing Battle too! I do have a question about the draws:

It says you get 6 draws, but how does it work? For instance, if you draw a second character/theme, then draw a third, do you then LOSE that chance to choose that second character/theme, or can you go back to it? 

Do you get locked out of the previous draws once you draw again, basically? Inquiring minds (and my mom) would like to know.

Sadly once you opt to draw you lose the previous one. But you still have 6 more, lol.
