Creative Writing

Up to this point, I’ve only talked about ways for you to tap into your creative side.  But, when I came across this, I had to pass it along.  I got a comment in my last post from a gentleman who wanted me to check out his site, but really didn’t want to bang it out there because it might look like spam.  That really caught my attention and I feel that I must repay his kindness.  The site is called CompletelyNovel.com, and looks like it could become a great social resource for all writers.  The one thing that I do need to mention is that this site is currently by invitation only.  However, you can fill out the form on the homepage in order to be added to their waiting list. 

Here’s the thing, though.  They are currently holding a free writing competition through September 1st, for all writers over the age of 18.  The theme for this contest is “And now for something completely different…”.  I love it.  Gotta love Monty Python.  Basically, they are looking for stories about change, imagination, and innovation.  The stories cannot be more than 2500 words, and must be previously unpublished.  The 5 top stories will have be published in the first ever CompletelyNovel anthology.  Plus, the winning authors will have the chance to publish any other manuscript.  This includes typesetting, file converstion, and even 10 paperback copies of your book.

Finally, I’ve got to talk about the CompletelyNovel blog.  You don’t have to be invited to enjoy this part of the site.  Here, you really get a chance to “meet” the people behind the website.  You’ll also find interesting news and tidbits of writing information among the posts.  The site is relatively new, but from what I can see, this is going to be a great resource for writers.
