In that dilemma right now. Started on the current comp. Found out it was going to be way to long for a 1000 word limit comp. Started to rewrite it. Read the first two stories of the comp. Realized mine was to tame (or lame). Now trying to come up with something for it. Usually, want to get it out of the way. Still hope to in the next day or two.

Lots of description or use hints and let the reader's imagination go wild?

Contemporary romance or historical romance?

Rice or potatoes for a starch?
