New “Clarity of Night” contest

If you missed the last contest that Jason Evans held at his blog, then don’t skip over this one. Aside from his constant posting of beautiful photographs, poetry and short fiction, Evans has these contests based on pictures he takes. It’s everyone else’s job to take that picture and write a short-short story (250 words max) and submit it by next Wednesday. Here’s the official link:

Here’s the picture we’re working off this time:

Lovely, no? Well, my story so far is already giving it a downward turn, but I guess that’s just the way my mind works. I’ll post my entry whenever it gets put up, and point out any other ones that catch my eye. There are prizes, so all your hard work might well be rewarded.

Looks like there are five entries already. Check ’em out.

Discussion of the publishing concept of the “long tail” will come tomorrow, as requested from yesterday’s comments, as I wanted to get this announcement out so folks would have enough time to work on their stories. (Open to publishing questions anytime, by the way)

I see that smile.
