I'm giving myself a little over a week...

So, I'm giving myself a little over a week to decide whether or not I am going to actually compete in the tournament of secrets. As I'd said before, the last minute censorship has really got me bent. I feel like I've been had by a bait and switch. The fact that the examples I was given weren't under the same creative constraints was A MAJOR factor in my decision to enter in the first place.

I face a very uncomfortable dilemma.

If I lose, depending on who it's to, I might harbor resentment and point to the censorship even if I don't say so. It will eat at me and make me bitter.

If I don't try, I'll have wasted a great deal of time conceptualizing. Literally, I've written 41 pages of warm up material.

Strike that. I suppose I should be thankful that I was inspired to write the character I did in the first place. If nothing else, it will have given me a bit of focus I had been looking for.

I suppose I have nothing to lose but time and sanity.

Mas Tequilla!

Val.
