The deadline for the second
National Short Story Prize is not too far away now - 31st October. The prize is the world's largest, with the first prizewinner gaining £15,000. Last year's winner was
James Lasdun with his story, 'An Anxious Man'. In an
interview at the time of the award, he gave the following advice to writers:
Read and study: the obvious. Live in as conscious a way as you can. Get used to turning your experience into language, keep a journal. Read your favourite writers analytically and consciously as well as for pleasure. Then write!
And my writing prompt for today is going to be ... anxiety (an easy one for me!)
