Essay Writing Competition

It is late now (2300), but I'll just sneak in to add a post.

Tomorrow's the writing seminar cum on-the-spot essay writing competition, and I must admit, I'm scared. Nervous, even. I've not done this before - previously they were all competition invitations sent to the school, which in turn reach me.

I wonder...since it's pen and paper rather than keyboard and computer, will my essay be as polished as when I use the latter media? After all, every word I inscribe onto the paper cannot be omitted without marring it. That means minimal correction, thinking before writing and god knows what else.

Argh.

I don't think I can win - I have not one shred of hope of that - but it would be so nice if I could at least clinch something there, if only recognition from the editors.

Ah, but I am blabbering now, and probably incohorently too. Still legible, I'm sure, because the trusty computer barely as any fonts that cannot be deciphered.

Okay, enough of a warm-up (or a cool-down, depending on your point of view) for now. Wish me luck tomorrow!
