Yesterday, Haz accompanied me to Borders bookstore at Wheelock Place to look for Romance Vol 1. Remember the writing competition I mentioned about, with the genre being romance? Well, last year's top entries were published in Romance Vol 1, and it was recommended for interested participants to have a look at the stories to see the type of stories the judges like, and basically the standard they are looking for.

Well, we did find it (thanks to the help of a friendly Borders employee over at the information counter) and the book was purchased in the end. :p I have to say, the judges sure like sappy work. Personally, I find that the third-prize winning work was better than the first-prize work. Hah.

Still, on the way home, I got not one, but TWO ideas for the piece I hope to submit. It's gotten me really excited about this whole competition! :3 I told my ideas to my sis, and she definitely thought it was good. (Just so you know, my sis is notoriously blunt about my work. If she doesn't like it, she'll say it. Period.)

Will probably start typing it all out after the last Prelim paper (which is Bio, the unfairness of it all. u.u), as the deadline for all submitted entries is 30 Aug. Good thing I basically have all the details, characters, conclusion etcetcetc all mapped out in my head. I love my mind. ;D
