tonight I wrote something to submit - I have a question
for those who are interested, tonight I happened upon a site that has a writing competition deadline 20th May
the length of submissions is between 1,000-3,000 words.......
it's supposed to be a short story......
I just wrote something autobiographical over 1,000 words on the prescribed theme, but is it a short story
what I mean is does a short story have to be fictional?
a quote from its home page about the site itself and the writing it highlights
Literature is used here as an inclusive term which embraces fictional writing in general.
should I submit it and be damned....heheheh.....?
or should I somehow make the piece seem to be fictional - even though I've written it all in the first person?
any thoughts would be welcome......
if I wrote 1,000 words every night for 70 night, I would have a book..........

Who's gonna know it's not fictional? You know lots of fiction is written in first person, right?

ah, McCain, you've done it again.......
so you really think they wouldn't guess it's true
there's so much verisimilitude and sincerity....heheheh......about it......
jeez, I don't know
just saw your post SJ......I think I shall publish and be damned.....heheheh
I will tidy it up a bit.....just wrote it off the cuff.......language is slightly stilted.....
I'm pretty glad to have found a goal to get me started.......
I'll see what happens.......
thanks, guys
I wrote 5 A4 single-spaced lucid and descriptive pages - I'm pretty happy about that - today has been a lesson in the beauty of the disrobing of hidden fortuity
I learnt quite a bit about Van Gogh too and am only getting started on Karl Marx
