LAST CALL

If I were submitting to HALF A MINUTE, today's the day I probably would have submitted, mostly because when given the opportunity, I procrastinate.  I'm not sure it's fair to say that waiting a week to
submit to a week-long contest is true procrastinating, but there's
certainly something to be said about the thrill of the deadline, the
last possible chance.



What I like best about procrastinating is the urgency and meaning it instantly gives something completely meaningless, for instance, paying my heath insurance bill at the last possible second.  Running to the mailbox because if I don't , it won't be post-stamped Jan 13, and then it will be canceled and upon closing the mailbox lid, feeling very accomplished and sneaky and breathless, like I've achieved the utterly impossible.  There's nothing like it.


And so if you haven't already, please click at the top for details, and get your entries in by 5pm today.   Darin Strauss will judge this weekend, and winners will be announced on Tuesday, the 17th.  And if you've already entered, you have until May 1, 2012 to claim your 10% off from AE Designs.  Happy writing.
