I tell everyone that I'm in an international prose competition - which is right I think. After all Silverstreaker is British. Don't know where all the entrees come from. Anyway - I'm probably more a legend in my own mind than anything else!
Originally posted by Silverstriker The theme this year is going to be freestyle (as ever from me) but the passage must contain or start with "I was sitting at my desk".
So it's got to be written in 1st person??
Edit: Oh, wait, this could appear in a quote or a note or some kind of device like this, I guess.

LOL, don't sell yourself short. I'd be happy if I was deemed "only as good".

I never wrote anything until Silverstriker announced this contest a couple of years back. I read a lot however so something must be bouncing around in my head. Mostly they come from what I see around me or at least part of them come from what I see. Take that part and then make up a story around it that only needs 750 words (that's the hardest part!).

Yep, yep.
Last year was my first time, so at least I'm no longer a Prose Competition 'virgin'.
