Done!!! It's very hard to write something in such as short time and not freak out about editing... eek!!

Sort:  

Ellison used to post the pages to his stories in the windows of the book stores and he finished them, and the pages would be clean without needing an edit. That's something that has fascinated me.

What - he didn't have a word processor? What crazy thing are you talking?

It's a nuts concept - totally fascinating. That's why this is a super cool competition. It was quite amazing how it all came out without much of an edit - I guess you have to trust yourself, and in his case, be a pretty good and confident story teller!
