Writing challenge

[bookofdanielvol2]

On a lark I signed up for the NYC Midnight microfiction challenge, which went live today.  I think I got fairly lucky with the draw of prompts - "horror" for Genre," "pressing a button" for Action and "love" for Word.  I already have what I think is a good idea in mind; just have to write it and see if I can get it in in under 250 words.  I'd like to think that I stand a decent chance in the contest, but there are around 4,500 entrants and I'm sure that includes plenty of legit talent, and most of my writing to date has been nonfiction, so who knows.  I think it'll be fun anyway.

Maybe I'll post the end result here after the contest, although if I do I might make it friends-only in case I actually decide to do something with the piece down the line.
