It is submission day. The story is complete and ready to go, bar one last spit and polish. So, what am I trying to do? These brief extracts from the rules are for my own benefit (and the comments are my own); my brain does not deal well with rules.
These are The Rules for The Bath Short Story Award.
- Any theme or subject (OK)
- Maximum length 2,200 words (OK)
- Typed, double or 1.5 spaced (think I can deal with that) (OK)
- Plain legible font (what the heck? Times New Roman? boring) (OK)
- Each page should be numbered (Yo!) (OK)
- Each page should ... carry the title of the story (Header/Footer, right?) (OK)
- Online entries must be submitted as an email attachment (No problem ...) (Done)
- Online entries must be submitted ... in PDF format only (... hells bells! PDF?) (OK. Sussed it)
- Closing date ... is Saturday, March 30th, 2013 (Under control. OK)
- There is a fee of £5 for each story submitted (Oh-kay... Oke Dokie. Dosh, eh?)
- You may pay via PayPal (Yeah. Got that, done that, somewhere, sometime, somehow; I'll ask the wife) (I did. She knew. Done)
- Entries must not have been previously published (No problem-0: OK)
- Do not put your name on the pages of your story (No, no, no) (OK)
- On the entry form:
- Contact details
- name
- address
- tel. no
- e-mail address (Yo) (Done)
- The title of the story(Yo) (Done)
- Wordcount (Yo) (Done)
- (Yo-Yo) (All done)
Existential panic. (Arrrrrh. All done. Sent. Scary moment.)
