I want to give everybody a final warning, there’s less than a month to enter in the 8 Minutes anthology contest<\/a> run by our good friend D.D. Tannenbaum.
\n<\/p>\n

The theme of the anthology\/contest is pretty simple: "Something has happened to the Sun. In 8 minutes, everything changes!" Does that whet your creative juices? Are you, even now, ruminating on possible story concepts? Would your story be dramatic and violent? Would it be something personal and poignant?<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t think you should enter to get a shot at the fabulous prize money, or to get your work in front of the most award winning writer in Sci-Fi history, Mike Resnick. You should enter this contest because you are a science fiction writer, and because you know in your one-or-more heart(s) that you are better, smarter, and more talented than all the other writers out there. <\/p>\n

You deserve this opportunity to beat your so-called colleagues at their own game. <\/p>\n

Unless you don’t think you’re that great a writer. Then you shouldn’t bother entering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
