T-minus 1 and counting! There’s only one day left in the Let’s Be Brief contest, and I’m sorry to say time is rapidly running out! At the moment, the current totals are:

Story count: 307
Authors: 61

Who woulda thunk it? You guys are unbelievable! And to think it all started with a dream. (Cue the violins.) A dream to reach out to my fellow bloggers; to encourage you to break out of the box a bit and see what you’re capable of when the chips are down. A dream to – (sound of needle scratching across a record).

Ah, who am I kidding? I just wanted to have some fun!

And now the Last Day begins. As of midnight tonight, you have just one more day to think of and submit your six-word stories before this contest passes into the annals of history. Just think, your name will be preserved for all time as one who took up the gauntlet, prevailed against all odds, feverishly worked day and night, and then submitted your stories for all the world to see (and, by the way, judge).

So who ever heard of quitting just before the finish line? You still have plenty of time left before the deadline. And speaking of deadlines, since there are really no geographical boundaries here the actual end will probably be a bit “fuzzy”, if you know what I mean. But know this – once the stories are handed over to the judges – baby, it’s over!

So dare I hope that we can get the total up to 400? Is it too lofty a goal? What say you, my friends? Do you accept the challenge?

Ready… set… GO!
