I should've watched this earlier. Haha.
Anyway, having not been shortlisted, I have a couple more tips to add. This is to serve as a reminder to myself should I re-attempt to write another story:
- Zoom in - when you have an idea that is growing and have not decided on the head or tail of the story, always remember to crop the story as tightly as you can.
- Do not attempt to write or edit objectively when you are emotional - when your mind is focusing on not being distracted, that's really when you're least focussed.
While I was disappointed, I was not surprised at all. Cos just before the deadline I had a feeling something was wrong. It's like the objective critic in me eventually broke her silence. But it was too late.
Oh well... I'm still happy though, cos I had finally started it.
Haha... yea. "Finally" is the key word.
