As an aside from my usual reviews I thought I'd write about a fun competition I came across - there are no prizes, it's simply the 'process' that interested me.
From the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest website:
"Since 1982 the English Department at San Jose State University has sponsored the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, a whimsical literary competition that challenges entrants to compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels."
I am entering a challenge on Hubpages (see the official contest here), but have produced a page with all my entries here.
My personal 'best' so far:
"It was a stark and wormy nightstand weathered as if the ages had come and gone and left their imprint in its old withered drawers with an insidious brutality culminating in decrepitude so deep that even the ancient God of furniture attested this dereliction to be a mere pile of wood"
Have fun reading all the entries or try entering yourself! It really is fun!
