It IS All About Me

Anyone who has entered or plans to enter a creative writing contest may not want to read the latest. 

I've volunteered to be one of ten judges of the preliminary round of short stories for the Commonwealth Writer's Contest this year. The mere fact of my status as a post-graduate secured me the 'position' no questions asked. (Believe me, this is not a good indication of discernment.) Somehow in the next two weeks I will select 55-60 stories from 550 while writing and preparing a conference paper, writing a dissertation chapter, traveling to Oxford and Dublin twice, and cleaning my apartment, and moving across the world. 

June 26th seems a long time away. It might be an appropriate time to freak out.
