Stop Press - Competition
I have decided to offer the prize of a year's membership to the RNA (commencing either immediately post the announcement of the competition winner or from renewal next January) for the best
full synopsis for a complete 'story' from the details given in my Cirencester Workshop post.
Conditions of entry are
The entries must be sent personally to me at pennyhalsall@aol.com and entrants must agree to have their entries posted here on my weblog, once a winner has been selected.
The closing date for entries will be 3lst May 2005
No entries will be posted until the winner is announced and then all the entries will be posted at the same time. (to prevent any inadvertent copying)
I undertake not to incorporate any of the entries in my own work and not to write a book myself based on the details I have already posted.
The length of a normal synopsis is around 4 pages - double spaced on A4 paper - therefore I am limiting the entries to a maximum of 2,000 words each.
Each entry must contain a complete synopsis of the story to its end and incoprorate the beginning, characters, and other details posted here on my weblog, but it is up to the entrants to write their own 'middles' and 'endings'
Good luck to all of you who decide to enter.
btw every entrant will win out with this competition because it will help you to understand how plotting works.

hi Chris, I am so pleased you enjoyed the workshop and that you intend to enter the comp.
I'm not computer savvy - I use 'word' - is that what you mean? There is a computer programme for writers - I bought a copy for my class but they weren't very keen. Do email me if you have other questions. And good luck with the comp. Penny
