Hi Jennifer, when submitting a story do we need to provide a synopsis in the email?
I have entered, yes.
I always find it difficult to work to a theme and a word limit so it's good practice for me to write with discipline.
That said, I ended up with 2 stories for this theme. The first effort was over the word limit, so I need to figure out what to do with it.
As for the story I submitted, well, having re-read it once more, its does seem to have interpreted the theme very loosely......hmmmm.
