Bucks County Community College announces a short story contest.
BCCC posted a short story contest with a deadline of Mid November and a length of 18 pages (approx 5000 words). I have several ideas but none are taking off. But that’s not a surprise, I try to write down several ideas and flush out what seems to be the best ideas.
One story that seems at the top of the list is one about an issue that I’m having. For several years now, I wake up in the wee hours of the morning and have a lot of trouble falling back asleep. Oftentimes, when I do fall back asleep, it’s minutes before the alarm sounds.
Other ideas brewing all have to do with Washington Crossing park, the Delaware Canal, the towpath, and New Hope – all of which I know well. I’ll keep working on the plot and character arcs and hopefully, something will come together.
Wish me luck.
