Writing 12: Complete the BCTELA form and get it signed by MOM or DAD

BCTELA fiction contest entries are due tomorrow.
You need to choose a piece that is fewer than 1500 words. You need to edit it until it sparkles. You need to print it out. MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS NOT ON IT. STAPLE IT TO YOUR ENTRY FORM. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ENTRY FORM, PICK ONE UP FROM ME TOMORROW.

We are in the lab Friday, room 225. You will have time to edit your manuscript and time for USSR.

Remember: Editing / revising needs the same creative impulses, drive and intention as the original draft. The great part is though, that you have a shape, so editin, is like a sculptor sculpting the finest details of the face, the robe, the sandals, etc.
