Had a double-duty day in Calabash, North Carolina this week.
In the AM I spoke to the Carolina Shores Book Club and in the
PM, I presented to the Hickmans Crossroads Library and had a
fullhouse! Above you'll see Marilyn, a volunteer at the library,
who was a pure joy. To the left, meet Lynn Darby, a fan, a
children's author, and one of the sweetest individuals I've met
in a long time. She and her husband Larry escorted me around all
day, and saw to it I reached my destinations, ate, and received
all sorts of glorious attention. Just a fine day altogether. On
days like this you realize that readers abound in the world.

EDITOR'S THOUGHTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

REPURPOSING . . . OURSELVES

When we write, we think we're adding to the quality of our lives.
It never crosses our minds that the path we chose also demands a
considerable number of our hours, days, weeks and months - not time
we have lying around unused, either. We have to give up something
else to make writing happen. We have selected a crazy hobby/career
path/dream that is one of the most time-consuming interests on the
planet.

It starts as a whim, then a dream, then an urge that grows. You
have to do this. You NEED to do this . . . this . . . writing.

So, for every new hour of writing, what other hour of something
else will you sacrifice? Give it a name. Cleaning? Jogging?
Sleeping? Gardening? Lunch?

Thanks to being a novelist and a freelance writer, my hours are
in demand to speak, blog, write and travel. As my writing grew,
as I had to promote a novel I never had to before, the demand for
my other hours grew ravenous for my attention. How could I find
more time? There went some of my gardening . . . I saw my chickens
less. The house is definitely not as clean. I stopped going to the gym.

(Here's where you picture my head hanging in shame.)

Then I caught the flu last week. Everything came to a halt. I crawled
to the computer to put out deadline brushfires and let people know
I hadn't died . . . then crawled back to bed. Today, as I return
to the keyboard, expecting to be mired in unfulfillable requests,
I found that I was catching up faster than expected.

Hmmm...I was focusing only on what HAD to be done. I sat back and
studied what was completed, pending, and (cough) could be ignored.
And I'd forgotten to do a lot of social networking in my frenzy to
catch up. And I deleted a lot of notices, daily updates and such
that I REALLY didn't have to read religiously.

And I found time to write.

Sometimes it takes being blocked from what we want. . . to
understand what we need.

Believe me, I don't suggest this lightly, but consider doing the
following once a month:

1) Wake up and do not touch the computer all day.
2) Do not touch the phone all day.
3) Go to bed.

It's like a reboot of your cable box, or cleaning your computer.
Your head clogs up with the remnants of everything you've done,
are doing, or hope to do until you are overdoing and have no
room to breathe. You may not even know it.

One day. Try it. You return to the computer . . . and the
words come pouring out.

Hope

THE LATEST COMMENT ABOUT LOWCOUNTRY BRIBE....

In Carolina Slade, Clark has created a fun, memorable character
reminiscent of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum. She's outspoken,
independent, and voluptuous, with a rapier wit, mounds of hair
and a flair for tripping into a mystery. To boot, Slade is good
at flirting with a buff lawman sidekick.

One major difference here is the setting: this is the south,
Carolina Lowcountry to be specific, complete with marshlands,
farmlands, beaches, abandoned barns and migrant worker huts;
plenty of places for trouble to lurk. The southern towns also
boast quaint general stores and eateries (yes, this is a lead
female character who actually enjoys food) that leave you
hankering for a trip to the waffle house.

C. Hope Clark describes it all, including characters like the
best friend Savvy, with crisp, believable language and fresh
imagery, and moves her plot along at a nice clip. Readers will
enjoy going along on Slade's wild ride, root for her till the
end, and then find themselves salivating for the next adventure.

WORDS OF SUCCESS

"You must once and for all give up being worried about successes
and failures. Don't let that concern you. It's your duty to go
on working steadily day by day, quite steadily, to be prepared
for mistakes, which are inevitable, and for failures."

--Anton Chekhov

SUCCESS OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Hope,

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to share some exciting news:
my stage play _Rasputin’s Mother_ has been announced as the overall
winner of the UK's National Playwriting Competition.

Funded by the Ronald Duncan Literary Foundation (in honour of one of
the original co-founders of the English Stage Company at the Royal
Court Theatre), the award is made annually to the best script written
for the stage. I am, as you might imagine, a bit chuffed (as we say
over here!).

Many thanks, as always, for your continued support and encouragement
to writers everywhere.

Best wishes

ARTICLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Contest Slut Reveals 8 Secrets to Winning!

by Kelly Hayes-Raitt

OK, OK, I admit it: I’m a contest slut. I got hooked when one
of my book’s chapters won 1st Place from the Alabama Writers
Conclave three years ago. I deposited that $100 check at my bank,
feeling like a kid bringing home an “A” on her spelling test!

Since then, six chapters of my journalistic memoir have won 14
literary awards. (You’d think that would land me an agent, but
it’s a sure eye-catcher in my query!)

Every few months, I peruse my electronic file of contests I collect
from Hope’s newsletters and decide which new essay I want to promote.
Here’s my tested advice:

1. Enter Only Those Contests You Think You Can Win and Can Afford to Lose.

Contest fees add up. So does the time it takes to research contests
and prepare and submit entries. It makes no sense for me, a woman
from Santa Monica who is writing about her work in pre- and post-
invasion Iraq to enter a contest for gay men raised in Appalachia.
Evaluate intelligently; it shows respect for the judges.

2. You Can’t Win If You Don’t Play.

The above considered, if I’m on the fence about entering, I enter.
You never know who is reading at the other end. Judges in two
contests chose my (losing) entries for unpublicized anthologies
they were editing! It’s a bit of a Lana-Turner-on-the-drugstore-
stool fantasy, but I can’t be “discovered” by being cautious.

3. May the Odds Be with You.

Evaluate the contest’s fee against the odds of winning. I’m more
likely to pay a $15 fee if I have a shot at three cash prizes than
a sole first prize. Or if I’m competing against only non-fiction
pieces rather than all prose.

4. Follow the Rules.

I roll my eyes as I write this, assuming this tip is too obvious.
It’s silly to spend the time and money entering a contest only to
have your entry thrown out – unread – because it’s the wrong font
or you’re over the word count. Best to butter up the judges by
playing by their rules.

5. Know Your Rights.

Look carefully at whether entering a contest relinquishes your
publishing rights. I consider prize money payment for my work. I
enter no contest that charges a fee and allows the editor to publish
my losing (unpaid) entry.

6. Recycle for More Green.

Some contests accept only unpublished submissions. I save my virgin
chapters for those. Others accept previously published material, so
I recycle my winning essays. One chapter has won three contests and
another a total of $550 from various contests (thus becoming my
stuck-up chapter!).

7. Chew with Your Mouth Closed.

You will lose more contests than you win. I’d bet my (future, as
yet uncommitted) publishing advance on it. Don’t dwell on the losses.
In fact, don’t even yammer about your entries. That way, when you
win, you’ll feel like a winner!

8. If You Keep Making That Face, It’ll Freeze.

It’s silly to enter the same competition year after year with the
same piece, yet easy to do. Keep meticulous notes of your entries,
particularly your losses. I keep a word document where I can quickly
search a contest name to see if – or what – I entered previously.
Details to note: Contest name, prize offered, fee, deadline (which
hints when the winners will be announced), whether or not the entry
must be unpublished (this is especially important if entering a
piece in multiple contests), name of entry, date submitted, link
to web site and expected date of winners’ announcement.

Happy Contesting!

BIO
When not entering contests, Kelly Hayes-Raitt pens her forthcoming
journalistic memoir Living Large in Limbo: How I Found Myself
Among the World’s Forgotten about her work in the Middle East with
refugees. She blogs at www.PeacePATHFoundation.org
